The Church Hymnal ‎#100

100. See the destined day arise!

1 See the destined day arise!
See a willing sacrifice!
Jesus, to redeem our loss,
Hangs upon the shameful Cross.

2 Jesus, who but Thou had borne,
Lifted on that Tree of scorn,
Every pang and bitter throe,
Finishing Thy life of woe?

3 Who but Thou had dared to drain
Steeped in gall the cup of pain,
And with tender body bear
Thorns, and nails, piercing spear?

4 Thence the cleansing water flowed,
Mingled from Thy Side with blood;
Sign to all attesting eyes
Of the finished Sacrifice.

5 Holy Jesus, grant us peace
In that Sacrifice to place
All our trust for life renewed,
Pardoned sin, and promised good.
