"Stricken, smitten, and afflicted"

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Christ Foundation Lyrics: 1 "Stricken, smitten, and afflicted," See Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of man, and Son of God. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress; Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Here we have a firm foundation; Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast: Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. Amen. Used With Tune: AUTUMN
