Is it Jesus, the Friend of human-kind, I see above with his flesh bruised, And his blood colouring the place? Like a man despised bound on a tree, And the thorny crown on his head? Yes, my soul, there he is! Is it my dear Spouse I see yonder, With sharp nails through each hand, And they beaten heavily home, In anguish and pain under the frown of his Father, And then dying in his blood? Yes, my soul, there he is! It is he who forgave freely his enemy, With his blood streaming out from his breast, Until the door of heaven opens? Under the weight of his wounding bowing his head, Saying, "It is finished," on the tree? Yes, my soul, there he is! - - - - - Is it great Jesus, the Friend of human-kind, Whom I see above with his flesh bruised, And his blood colouring the place; Like a man despised bound on a tree, And the blood as clots on His head? Yes, my soul, here He is. Is is my dear Spouse I see yonder, With sharp nails through each hand, And they bashed heavily home, And a steel bar through his gentle feet, And he dying in His blood? Yes, my soul, here He is. It is He who forgave those who hate him, With his blood a stream out of his wounds, Until the door of heaven opens, Putting his head towards the ground under sharp pains, Innocently, fair, without uttering anything? Yes, my soul, here He is. Faith, behold the spot and behold the tree, The Prince of heaven was crucified Meekly in my place; The dragon was crushed by God-man, Since two were wounded, One overcame - And Jesus was He. Spouse :: Redeemer :: And a steel bar :: The edged steel :: - - - - - Is it Jesus, the Friend of human-kind, That is to be seen with his flesh bruised, And his blood colouring the place; Like a man of no value bound on a tree, With the painful crown on his head? Yes, my soul, here he is. For my soul the gentle Lamb was Thus, suffering enormous pain, To make me truly free; He did intend to face the work From the extremity of a vast eternity - O my soul, remember his wounding!tr. 2015,23 Richard B Gillion |
Is this my Jesus, this my God, Whose body, all o'er stain'd with blood, Hangs on th'accursed tree? Who bows his head, oppress'd with pain; But 'midst it all doth not complain? Yes, O my soul, 'tis he! Is this my Saviour, this my Lord, Whose feet and hands with nails are bor'd, And fasten'd to the tree; Whose sacred head with thorns is crown'd, Whose pierced side receives the wound? Yes, O my soul, 'tis he! Is this my bleeding sacrifice, Who bows his head, and calmly dies, High lifted on the tree; Unknown by Gentiles, scoff'd by Jews, Whom almost all mankind refuse? Yes, O my soul, 'tis he! - - - - - Is this my Jesus, this my God, Whose body, all o'er stain'd with blood, Hangs on th'accursed tree?
