1 What caus'd a deep and mournful sound? What caus'd the earthquakes cleve the ground Both heav'n and earth set in amaze? The glorious Sun, to hide his face! 2 No wonder why the earth does shake, The seas convuls'd, and mountains quake; And nature shrinking with surprize, Since Christ, the mighty Saviour dies. 3 His blood is streaming from the tree, It is my Saviour, O 'tis he; My only Saviour, O my God! There shedding his attoning blood. 4 For me there on the Cross he hangs, For me he feels such horrid pangs; For me he yields his fleeting breath, For me he dies that painful death. | Church Hymn Book: consisting of newly composed hymns with the addition of hymns and psalms, from other authors, carefully adapted for the use of public worship, and many other occasions (1st ed.) #LXXI (1816) |
