Lord, we treasure with affection

Lord

we treasure with affection

All Thy path of sorrow here

And those closing scenes of anguish

To our hearts Thyself endear.

Praise Thee

Savior! Praise Thee

Savior!

Praise Thee

Lord

for sinners slain!

Give Thee glory! Give Thee glory!

Give Thee glory for the life we gain!

Deep Thy sorrow then

Lord Jesus

Deeper far than thought can reach;

Grief intense and suff’rings holy

Far beyond all tongues to teach.

None could follow there

blest Savior

When redemption’s work was done;

For those suff’rings

deep

unfathomed

Were

Lord Jesus

Thine alone!

Thou didst measure then sin’s distance

Darkness

wrath and curse were Thine;

Man-betrayed

by God forsaken;

Thus we learn Thy love divine!
