O Lord, what burdens Thou didst bear! Our load was laid on Thee; Thou stoodest for the sinner there To bear all ill for me. A Victim led, Thy blood was shed; Now there's no load for me. | |

Death and the curse were in our cup, O Lord, 'twas full for Thee! But Thou hast drained the last dark drop, 'Tis empty now for me. That bitter cup -- love drank it up; Left but the love for me. | |

The tempest's awful voice was heard: O Lord, it broke on Thee! Thine open bosom was my ward, It bore the storm for me. Thy form was scarred, thy visage marred; Now cloudless peace for me. | |

For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died, And I have died with Thee; Thou'rt ris'n: my bands are all untied; And now Thou liv'st in me. The Father's face in radiant grace Shines now in light on me. | |
