Oh, who am I That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die? 2 He came from His blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, oh, my friend, My Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” Is all their breath, And for His death They thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease And 'gainst Him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they save, The Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful He To suff'ring goes That He His foes From thence might free. 6 In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was His home But mine the tomb Wherein He lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine! Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine. This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend! Topics: Redeemer Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

How bright! how lovely! how admir'd! 4 Jesus who di'd that we might live, Di'd in the wretched traitor's place;— O what returns can mortals give, For such immeasurable grace! 5 Were universal nature ours, And art with all her boasted store; Nature and art with all their pow'rs, Would still confess the offerer poor! 6 Yet tho' for bounty so divine! We ne'er can equal honors raise, Jesus, may all our hearts be thine, And all our tongues proclaim thy praise. Topics: The Exaltation of the Prince of Peace: The Saviour of the World
