Far, far at sea.
And back­ward in dis­hon­or turned,
Was it for me, the nails, the spear,
Here the ob­ject of de­ri­sion,
His vic­tim doth pur­sue.
And when de­ri­sion mocked His call,
They spend the cheer­ful hours.
How He en­dured the
Bowed down be­neath His aw­ful load.
That should set Thy peo­ple free;
Denies the hand di­vine;
They clothed Him in a pur­ple robe,
For me His blood was shed,
And the jeer­ing of the rab­ble,
Not of gold and gems be­fit­ting,
Just the same Je­sus, but robed in His glo­ry!
The Spir­it’s wine, that mak­eth whole,
Their do­ings will de­ride;

mock­ing

All his toil, he flies to Thee;
All they that seek Thy face
That rug­ged cross, ’twixt earth and sky—
Yes, tri­umph­ant hal­le­lu­jahs
And weak­ness, want and woe;
And yet His blood was shed for me,
Their hearts, elate with pride,
That sin­ners might claim
I see the scoff­ing hosts go by;
And with crown of thorn,
As full of new made wine.
In His pale brow, all crowned with thorns,
Was placed up­on His head;
And the ter­rors of the gib­bet
Why with ma­ny stripes thus beat­en?
No more to be pierced by the nail or the spear thrust!
Rejoicing may this day go hence;
Throughout the world so wide.
