CHRIST'S SUFFERING AND GLORY.

By N. W. Vincent

BY N. W. VINCENT.

(TUNE: “O Pure and Free.”)

Saviour died, was crucified for Adam's fallen race; For guilty foes his prayer arose, with offers of his grace; Death he bore, and scourging sore, to spitting gave his face, A crown of thorns his brow adorns—behold Immanuel's grace!

Glory to the Lamb of God, our Prince, our Saviour, be! Who washed us from sin in thine own blood! Reign to eternity!

With pain and grief, without relief, his life our Saviour gave— His life being given, 'twixt earth and heaven, the world to cleanse and save.

He said, and bowed his head; fierce demons round him rave; The spear did pierce his side, Christ sinks into the grave.

Sabbath ends, a light descends, the bands of death are riven! Heaves and quakes, God's Son awakes, all power to him is given; He greets, his brethren meets, while fiends are backward driven. He gave commands, then raised his hands, then rose with clouds to heaven.
