[While hanging on the shameful cross]
HYMN III.
“Woman, behold thy son!”
—John xix. 26.
While hanging on the shameful cross,
His scatter'd flock the Saviour sees,
Their wants His dying thoughts engross,
He marks and pities their distress:
His scatter'd flock the Saviour sees,
96
He marks and pities their distress:
He all their griefs and sorrows shares,
Nor even in death forgets His own,
But kindly for His orphans cares;
“Woman,” He saith, “behold thy son.”
Nor even in death forgets His own,
But kindly for His orphans cares;
“Woman,” He saith, “behold thy son.”
To us the new command He gives,—
O may we all obedient prove,
And take the legacy He leaves,
His richest legacy of love.
O may we all obedient prove,
And take the legacy He leaves,
His richest legacy of love.
Us each to other He commends,
And bids us in one Spirit join;
Unites, and makes us more than friends,
All kinsmen, in a bond Divine.
And bids us in one Spirit join;
Unites, and makes us more than friends,
All kinsmen, in a bond Divine.
Then let us each to other give
The honour to a parent due,
And all with tenderest love receive,
A love which nature never knew.
The honour to a parent due,
And all with tenderest love receive,
A love which nature never knew.
Give, Jesus, give the' uniting grace,
The bond of charity Divine;
And let us all mankind embrace,
And love them with a love like Thine.
The bond of charity Divine;
And let us all mankind embrace,
And love them with a love like Thine.
