lyrics

Verse 1:
My Jesus, fair, was pierced by thorns,

By thorns grown from the fall.

Thus He who gave the curse was torn

To end that curse for all.

Verse 2:
My Jesus, meek, was scorned by men,

By men in blasphemy.

“Father, forgive their senseless sin!”

He prayed, for them, for me.

Chorus:

O love divine, O matchless grace—

That God should die for men!

With joyful grief I lift my praise,

Abhorring all my sin,

Adoring only Him.

Verse 3:
My Jesus, kind, was torn by nails,

By nails of cruel men.

And to His cross, as grace prevailed,

God pinned my wretched sin.

Verse 4:
My Jesus, pure, was crushed by God,

By God, in judgment just.

The Father grieved, yet turned His rod

On Christ, made sin for us.

(Chorus)

Verse 5:
My Jesus, strong, shall come to reign,

To reign in majesty—

The Lamb arose, and death is slain.

Lord, come in victory!

(Chorus)
