Christian Worship Attraction Of The Cross.
Behold th’ amazing sight,
The Saviour lifted high!
Behold the Father’s chief delight
Expire in agony!
For whom, for whom, my heart,
Were all these sorrows borne?
Why did he feel that piercing smart,
And meet that cruel scorn?
For love of us he bled,
And all in torture died;
‘T was love that bowed his fainting head,
And oped his gushing side.
In him our hearts unite,
Nor share his grief alone,
But from his cross pursue their flight
To his triumphant throne.
