O Thou, the Eternal Son of God
William C. Dix·Modern
Verse 1
O Thou, the eternal Son of God,
The Lamb for sinners slain,
We worship, while Thy head is bowed
In agony and pain.
Verse 2
None tread with Thee the holy place;
Thou sufferest alone;
Thine is the perfect sacrifice
Which only can atone.
Verse 3
Thou Great High Priest, Thy glory-robes
To-day are laid aside;
And human sorrows, Son of Man,
Thy Godhead seem to hide.
Verse 4
The cross is sharp, but in Thy woe
This is the lightest part;
Our sin it is which pierces Thee,
And breaks Thy sacred heart.
Verse 5
Who love Thee most, at Thy dear cross
Will truest, Lord, abide;
Make Thou that cross our only hope,
O Jesus crucified.
William C. Dix, “O Thou, the Eternal Son of God”
