Matthew 12: Beneath my sins He bow'd His head
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Beneath my sins He bow'd His head,
My sins and those of all mankind!
His soul a victim in our stead
Into His Father's hands resign'd!
The' immortal God He breathed His last!
The sight all earth and heaven amazed;
Their silent harps aside they cast.
And angels trembled as they gazed.
