Matthew 26:2: Truth of the Paschal sacrifice

Truth of the Paschal sacrifice,
Both passovers He joins in one,
That all our offerings may arise
With His united to the throne.
That we may suffer with our Head,
And love the cross where Jesus bled.

He with Divine tranquillity
Foretells His death of pain and shame,
But spares who nail Him to the tree,
Forbears His cruel foes to blame;
The Son of Man hereby confess'd
The Son of God, for ever bless'd.

O could we with His calmness meet
Our destined share of grief and woe.
Meek as our Lord the men entreat
With love, who bitter hatred show.
Only to God their names declare,
And bless them in our dying prayer.
