Cross of Jesus, Cross of sorrow,

Hymn Text

Verse 1

Cross of Jesus, Cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee hath bled!

Verse 2

Here the King of all the ages,
Throned in light ere worlds could be,
Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.

Verse 3

Evermore for human failure,
By his passion we can plead;
God has borne all mortal anguish;
Surely he will know our need.

Verse 4

Cross of Jesus, Cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled!
