Mark 15: They crucified Him

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

Prostrate, with eyes of faith I see
My Saviour fasten'd to the tree,
A victim on that altar laid.
Himself presenting to the skies.
The grand vicarious sacrifice,
The Righteous in the sinner's stead.

Well-pleasing to our God above,
His sacrifice of life and love
I plead before the gracious throne:
Father, a prodigal receive,
And bid a pardon'd rebel live,
The purchase of Thy bleeding Son.
