Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

from Love & Lightning, Winter & Warm by Wen Reagan

/

lyrics

Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree
’Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He
’Tis the long expected prophet,
David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;
By His Son God has now spoken
’Tis the true and faithful Word.

Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
Was there ever grief like His?
Friends through fear His cause disowning,
Foes insulting his distress
Many hands were raised to wound Him,
None would interpose to save;
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
Was the stroke that Justice gave.

He who think of sin but lightly,
Nor suppose the evil great,
Here may view its nature rightly,
Here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the Sacrifice appointed!
See Who bears the awful load!
’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed,
Son of Man, and Son of God.

’Tis the long expected prophet,
David’s Son, yet David’s Lord!
By His Son God has now spoken
’Tis the true and faithful Word!
