Текст песни Cross Of Jesus - VocalEssence Chorale

Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow
Where the blood of Christ was shed
Perfect Man on thee did suffer
Perfect God on thee has bled

Here the king of all the ages
Throned in light ere worlds could be
Robed in mortal flesh is dying
Crucified by sin for me

O mysterious condescending
O abandonment sublime
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time

Evermore for human failure
By His passion we can plead
God has born all mortal anguish
Surely He will know our need

This, all human thought surpassing
This is earth's most awful hour
God has taken mortal weakness
God has laid aside His power

Once the Lord of brilliant seraphs
Winged with love to do His will
Now the scorn of all His creatures
And the aim of every ill

Up in Heaven, sublimest glory
Circled round Him from the first
But the earth finds none to serve Him
None to quench His raging thirst

Who shall fathom that descending
From the rainbow circled throne
Down to earth's most base profaning
Dying desolate alone

From the Holy, Holy, Holy
We adore Thee, O most High
Down to earth's blaspheming voices
And the shout of Crucify

Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow
Where the blood of Christ was shed
Perfect Man on thee did suffer
Perfect God on thee has bled!
