Who Has Believed Thy Word?

Who has be­lieved thy Word

Or Thy sal­va­tion known?

Reveal Thine Arm

al­migh­ty Lord

And glo­ri­fy Thy Son.

The Jews e­steemed Him here

Too mean for their be­lief;

Sorrows His chief acq­uaint­ance were

And His com­panion

grief.

They turned their eyes away

And treate­d Him with scorn;

But ’twas their griefs up­on Him lay

Their sor­rows He has borne.

’Twas for the stub­born Jews

And Gen­tiles then un­known

The God of jus­tice pleased to bruise

His best-be­lov­èd Son.

“But I’ll pro­long His days

And make His king­dom stand;

My plea­sure (saith the God of grace)

Shall pros­per in His hand.

“His joy­ful soul shall see

The pur­chase of His pain

And by His know­ledge jus­ti­fy

The guil­ty sons of men.

“Ten thou­sand cap­tive slaves

Released from death and sin

Shall quit their pris­ons and their graves

And own His pow­er di­vine.

Heav’n shall ad­vance My Son

To joys that Earth de­nied;

Who saw the fol­lies men had done

And bore their sins

and died.
