A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in 7s meter)
"Man of Sorrows"
1. Hark! a voice from Calvary
Calls the wand'rer passing by;
"Say, was ever grief like Mine?"
Asks the Suff'rer all divine.
2. Hear the dying Saviour's cries;
Fiercest anger on Him lies;
Justice payment full requires;
Jesus suffers, groans, expires.
3. Angels wonder at the sight;
Heav'n's bright orb, withholds his light:
Earth, and hell, astonish'd view: -
Sinner, is it nought to you?
4. Ne'er did sorrows equal His,
But they purchas'd heav'nly bliss;
Vanquish'd Satan, sin o'erthrew : --
Is this nothing, saints, to you?
5. Yes, our thankful souls reply ,
We behold on Calvary,
Pardon purchas'd, peace procur'd,
Grace bestow'd, and heav'n secur'd.
