Others He saved
Himself He could not save
So scoffed the priests
and upward rolled the wave
Of blasphemy against the dying Lord
Until it broke upon the throne of God.
Himself He did not save
So sighed the mourners round the Savior’s grave;
Their grief embittered by the mystery
Why He
who Lazarus raised
Himself need die.
Himself He would not save
There rests the truth
His life for us He gave:
O ruined heart! thy Savior had to choose
If He should die
or thou salvation lose.
