Cruel Priests! How they stood round like savage Beasts; Like Lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their Pow'r. 5 They wound his Head, his Hands, his Feet, Till Streams of Blood each other meet; By Lot his Garments they divide, And mock the Pangs in which he dy'd. 6 But GOD his Father heard his Cry; Rais'd from the Dead he reigns on high; The Nations learn his Righteousness, And humble Sinners taste his Grace.

Why has my God my Soul forsook

Appears in 19 hymnals Topics: Christ his death and resurrection; Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Exaltation of Christ to the Kingdom; Gentiles given to Christ Lyrics: 1 Why has my God my Soul forsook, Nor will a Smile afford? (Thus David once in Anguish spoke, And thus our dying Lord.) 2 Though 'tis thy chief Delight to dwell Among thy praising Saints, Yet thou canst hear a Groan as well, And pity our Complaints. 3 Our Fathers trusted in thy Name, And great Deliv'rance found; But I'm a Worm despis'd of Men, And trodden to the Ground. 4 Shaking the Head they pass me by, And laugh my Soul to Scorn; "In vain he trusts in God, they cry, "Neglected and forlorn." 5 But thou art He who form'd my Flesh, By thine Almighty Word, And since I hung upon the Breast, My Hope is in the Lord. 6 Why will my Father hide his Face When Foes stand threat'ning round In the dark Hour of deep Distress, And not an Helper found? Pause. 7 Behold thy Darling left among The Cruel and the Proud, As Bulls of Bashan fierce and strong, As Lions roaring loud. 8 From Earth and Hell my Sorrows meet To multiply the Smart; They nail my Hands, they pierce my Feet, And try to vex my Heart. 9 Yet if thy Sov'reign Hand let loose The Rage of Earth and Hell, Why will my heav'nly Father bruise The Son he loves so well? 10 My GOD, if possible it be, With-hold this bitter Cup: But I resign my Will to Thee, And drink the Sorrows up. 11 My Heart dissolves with Pangs unknown, In Groans I waste my Breath; Thy heavy Hand has brought me down Low as the Dust of Death. 12 Father, I give my Spirit up, And trust it in thy Hand; My dying Flesh shall rest in Hope, And rise at thy Command. Scripture: Psalm 22:1-16

Our misery reached his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes, To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows, But costs his heart a groan. 3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.
