EN 657 Now Let Our Mournful Songs Record

Ps.22.1

Versi Version 1

1

Now let our mournful songs record

The dying sorrows of our Lord,

When He complained in tears and blood,

As one forsaken of his God.

2

The Jews beheld Him thus forlorn,

And shake their heads, and laugh in scorn:

“He rescued others from the grave;

Now let him try himself to save.

3

“This is the man did once pretend

God was his Father and his Friend;

If God the blessed loved him so,

Why doth He fail to help him now?”

4

Barbarous people! cruel priests!

How they stood round like savage beasts!

Like lions gaping to devour,

When God had left Him in their power.

5

They wound His head, His hands, His feet,

Till streams of blood each other meet;

By lot His garments they divide,

And mock the pangs in which He died.

6

But God, the Father, heard His cry;

Raised from the dead, He reigns on high;

The nations learn His righteousness,

And humble sinners taste His grace.
