GOOD FRIDAY

See also 737 The Reproaches.

Bishop R. Mant, 1776–1848.

SEE the destined day arise
See, a willing sacrifice,
To redeem our fatal loss.
Jesus hangs upon the Cross!

2 Jesu. who but thou had borne,
Lifted on that Tree of scorn,
Every pang and bitter throe,
Finishing thy life of woe?

3 Who but thou had dared to drain
Steeped in gall, the cup of pain,
And with tender body bear
Thorns, and nails, and piercing spear?

4 Thence, poured forth, the water flowed,
Mingled from thy side with blood,—
Sign to all attesting eyes
Of the finished Sacrifice.

5 Holy Jesu, grant us grace
In that Sacrifice to place
All our trust for life renewed,
Pardoned sin, and promised good.

Unison. 6. Grant us grace to sing to thee
In the Trinal Unity.
Ever with the sons of light,
Blessing, honour, glory, might. Amen.
