John 19:17: And He bearing His cross went forth

Emblem of our sins, He groans
Beneath the cross's load,
Thus for all our guilt atones,
And heals us by His blood;
Let us on our Surety gaze,
That lovely piteous spectacle!
Lo, He suffers in our place
What we deserve to feel.

Strength for us His sufferings buy
To imitate our Head:
Let us then ourselves deny,
And in Thy footsteps tread,
Go we forth to Calvary,
And bearing Thy reproach and pain,
Patient of the cross with Thee
Thy crown immortal gain.
