IS THIS THE MAN?
When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom. The integrity of the upright shall guide them: but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them. Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death. The righteousness of the perfect shall direct his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. Proverbs 11: 2–5
What object’s this which meets my eyes
Without Jerusalem’s gate;
Which fills my mind with such surprise
As wonder to create?
Who can it be that groans beneath
A cross of massy wood;
Whose soul’s o’welmed in pains of death
And body bathed in blood?
Is this the Man? can this be he
The prophets have foretold
Should with transgressors numbered be,
And for their crimes be sold?
Yes, now I know ‘tis he, ‘tis he!
‘Tis Jesus, God’s dear Son,
Wrapt in humanity, to die
For crimes that I had done!
