Hymn 298 — Lord, we treasure with affection
| 298 | M. W. BIGGS | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
Lord, we treasure with affection All Thy path of sorrow here, And those closing scenes of anguish To our hearts Thyself endear. | |
| 2 |
Deep Thy sorrow then, Lord Jesus, Deeper far than thought can reach; Grief intense and suff'rings holy, Far beyond all tongues to teach. | |
| 3 |
None could follow there, blest Saviour, When Thou didst for sins atone; For those suff'rings, deep, unfathomed, Were, Lord Jesus, Thine alone! | |
| 4 |
Thou didst measure then sin's distance, Darkness, wrath and curse were Thine; Man-betrayed, by God forsaken; Thus we learn Thy love divine! | |
