Mark 14:33: Sore amazed is God's own Son

Religion

Sore amazed is God's own Son,
God's vindictive wrath to see,
Grieved with mortal grief unknown,
Crush'd by our iniquity:
And shall we ourselves remain
Still to both insensible.
Strangers to remorse and pain
Neither sin nor justice feel.

Could we see that dreadful sight
With our Saviour's eyes and heart.
Justice, sin brought forth to light
Would our soul and body part;
But who both for man hath borne
Spares us the extreme dismay,
(ives us self-condemn'd to mourn.
Takes our sijis and griefs away.
