11693. He Bore Our Sins

1 Oh, awful load for that bowed head,
Terrific weight for that marred form;
He bore your sins, your burden dread,
And braved your judgment’s fearful storm.

Refrain:
Thy death, Lord Jesus, evermore
Shall be our song on yonder shore;
We’ll praise the blessèd One who bore
Our load of sin upon the tree.

2 Transferred to Him the guiltless, see
Your guilt, in blood your debt was paid;
Behold, to set the captive free,
Jesus the great sin offering made. [Refrain]

3 Believe, believe, thou guilty one
That all thy sins deserving doom
Were borne by Christ, God’s holy Son,
For thou hast bowed Him to the tomb. [Refrain]
