| 1. | Lord, we treasure with affection |
| | All Thy path of sorrow here, |
| | And those closing scenes of anguish |
| | To our hearts Thyself endear. |
| | Praise Thee, Savior! Praise Thee, Savior! |
| | Praise Thee, Lord, for sinners slain! |
| | Give Thee glory! Give Thee glory! |
| | Give Thee glory for the life we gain! |
| 2. | Deep Thy sorrow then, Lord Jesus, |
| | Deeper far than thought can reach; |
| | Grief intense and suff'rings holy, |
| | Far beyond all tongues to teach. |
| 3. | None could follow there, blest Savior, |
| | When redemption's work was done; |
| | For those suff'rings, deep, unfathomed, |
| | Were, Lord Jesus, Thine alone! |
| 4. | Thou didst measure then sin's distance, |
| | Darkness, wrath and curse were Thine: |
| | Man-betrayed, by God forsaken; |
| | Thus we learn Thy love divine! |
