My Redeemer, Overwhelmed with Anguish

Author: John Swertner, 1746-1813; Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf, 1727-1752 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Redeemer, overwhelmed with anguish, Went to Olivet for me; There He kneels, His heart doth heave and languish In a bitter agony; Fear and horror seize His soul and senses, For the hour of darkness now commences; Ah, how doth He weep and groan For rebellious man to atone. 2 Could we tune our hearts and voices higher Than man’s most exalted lays, Yet, till joined to the celestial choir, Cold would prove our warmest praise; Jesus’ love exceeds all comprehension, But our love to Him we scarce dare mention; We may weep beneath His Cross, But He wept and bled for us. 3 Lamb of God, Thou shalt remain forever Of our songs the only theme; For Thy boundless love, Thy grace and favor, We will praise Thy saving Name; That for our transgressions Thou wast wounded Shall by us in nobler strains be sounded, When we, perfected in love, Once shall join the Church above.
