Didst thou without the city bleed To expiate my stains? On earth my God vouchsaf'd to dwell, And made of infinite avail, The suff'rings of the man. 3 And wast thou for transgressors given? And did the incarnate King of Heaven For us his foes expire? Amaz'd, O earth, the tidings hear! He bore, that we might never bear His Father's righteous ire. 4 Ye saints, the man of sorrows bless, The God, for your unrighteousness Deputed to atone: Praise, 'till with all the ransom'd throng Ye sing the never-ending song, And see him on his throne.
