748.
[Himself He will not save, that we]
Himself He cannot save.
—xxvii. 42.
Himself He will not save, that we
His saving grace may taste and see:
He dies, that His worst foes may find
His death the life of all mankind.
His saving grace may taste and see:
He dies, that His worst foes may find
His death the life of all mankind.
Himself, and us, He cannot save,
And therefore sinks into our grave,
A voluntary Victim dies,
That we may to His glory rise.
And therefore sinks into our grave,
A voluntary Victim dies,
That we may to His glory rise.
