[Burden'd with our griefs and cares]
They bring Him unto the place Golgotha.
—xv. 22.
Burden'd with our griefs and cares
That true Isaac from the skies,
Lo, Himself the wood He bears
To the place of sacrifice,
Bears it to Moriah's top;
There extended on the tree
Lo, the universal Hope
Hangs, and bleeds, and dies for me.
That true Isaac from the skies,
Lo, Himself the wood He bears
To the place of sacrifice,
Bears it to Moriah's top;
There extended on the tree
Lo, the universal Hope
Hangs, and bleeds, and dies for me.
Suffering death without the gate
From Jerusalem He leads,
Thus, instructing us to wait
Where the common Victim bleeds.
After Him our hearts ascend,
Lifted up 'twixt earth and skies,
On His only death depend,
Seek no other sacrifice.

Jesus lays the ransom down,
Buys the nations with His blood,
Doth for all our sins atone,
Reconciles a world to God.
Jesus purchases our peace,
(Peace which every soul may find,)
Pardon, grace, and holiness,
Life, and heaven for all mankind.
