The Maker of the universe,
|
As Man for man was made a curse.
|
The claims of Law which He had made,
|
Unto the uttermost He paid.
|
His holy fingers made the bough,
|
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow.
|
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
|
In secret places He designed.
|
|
He made the forest whence there sprung
|
The tree on which His body hung.
|
He died upon a cross of wood,
|
Yet made the hill on which it stood.
|
The sky that darkened o'er His head,
|
|
By Him above the earth was spread.
|
The sun that hid from Him it's face
|
By His decree was poised in space.
|
|
The spear which spilled His precious blood
|
Was tempered in the fires of God.
|
The grave in which His form was laid
|
Was hewn in rocks His hands had made.
|
|
The throne on which He now appears
|
Was His for everlasting years.
|
But a new glory crowns His brow
|
And every knee to Him shall bow.
