[Into the heathen judge's power]
The chief priests . . . delivered Him to Pilate.
—xv. 1.
Into the heathen judge's power
By envious Jews deliver'd o'er,
Behold the spotless Lamb of God!
Sinners of every sort and kind
Are in His condemnation join'd,
Who bears the universal load:
By envious Jews deliver'd o'er,
Behold the spotless Lamb of God!
Sinners of every sort and kind
Are in His condemnation join'd,
Who bears the universal load:
At each unrighteous judgment-seat
He bows, submissively to meet
His sentence from the Lord most high,
Conscious that wicked men fulfil
His just, offended Father's will,
He comes for all mankind to die.
