Isaiah 52:14: Was ever grief like Thine

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

Was ever grief like Thine,
Jesus, Thou Man of woe!
The visage and the form Divine,
Why was it mangled so?
That man through Thee restored
God's image might regain.
And by the sorrows of his Lord
In joy eternal reign.
