EN 2698 How Condescending and How Kind

Zech.12.10

Versi Version 1

1

How condescending and how kind

Was God’s eternal Son!

Our misery reached His heav’nly mind,

And pity brought Him down.

2

When Justice, by our sins provoked,

Drew forth its dreadful sword,

He gave His soul up to the stroke

Without a murm’ring word.

3

He sank beneath our heavy woes,

To raise us to His throne;

There’s ne’er a gift His hand bestows

But cost His heart a groan.

4

This was compassion like a God,

That when the Savior knew

The price of pardon was His blood,

His pity ne’er withdrew.

5

Now, though He reigns exalted high,

His love is still as great;

Well He remembers Calvary,

Nor let His saints forget.

6

Here we behold His bowels roll,

As kind as when He died;

And see the sorrows of His soul

Bleed through His wounded side.

7

Here we receive repeated seals

Of Jesus’ dying love:

Hard is the wretch that never feels

One soft affection move.

8

Here let our hearts begin to melt,

While we His death record,

And with our joy for pardoned guilt,

Mourn that we pierced the Lord.
