“He hath made him to be sin for us.” 2 Cor. 5. 14, 21
1
Behold a scene of matchless grace,
 
’Tis Jesus in the sinner’s place;
 
Heaven’s brightest Glory sunk in shame,
 
That rebels might adore his name.
2
Tremendous clouds of wrath and dread,
 
In vengeance burst upon his head;
 
Ten thousand horrors seize his soul,
 
And vengeful mountains on him roll.
3
He sighed; he groaned; he sweat; he cried;
 
Through awful floods he passed and died;
 
All penal wrath to Zion due,
 
Infinite justice on him threw.
4
He rose in triumph from the dead;
 
Justice declared the debt was paid;
 
Then Christ with kingly grandeur flew,
 
And took his throne in glory too.
5
Come, saints, with solemn pleasure trace
 
The boundless treasures of his grace;
 
He bore almighty wrath for you,
 
That you might all his glory view.
