<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n\nStricken, smitten, and afflicted, see him dying on the tree!
\n‘Tis the Christ by man rejected; yes, my soul, ’tis he, ’tis he!
\n‘Tis the long-expected Prophet, David’s son, yet David’s Lord;
\nby his Son God now has spoken: ’tis the true and faithful Word.<\/p>\nTell me, ye who hear him groaning, was there ever grief like his?
\nFriends thro’ fear his cause disowning, foes insulting his distress;
\nmany hands were raised to wound him, none would interpose to save;
\nbut the deepest stroke that pierced him was the stroke that Justice gave.<\/p>\nYe who think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great
\nhere may view its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate.
\nMark the sacrifice appointed, see who bears the awful load;
\n’tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God.<\/p>\nHere we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost;
\nChrist’s the Rock of our salvation, his the name of which we boast.
\nLamb of God, for sinners wounded, sacrifice to cancel guilt!
\nNone shall ever be confounded who on him their hope have built.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nwords – “Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted” by Thomas Kelly (1804)
