PSALM 22 PART 2
v.20,21,27-31
C. M.
Christ's sufferings and kingdom.
42 "Now from the roaring lion's rage, O Lord, protect thy Son, Nor leave thy darling to engage The powers of hell alone." | Thus did our suff'ring Savior pray, With mighty cries and tears; God heard him in that dreadful day, And chased away his fears. | Great was the vict'ry of his death, His throne exalted high; And all the kindreds of the earth Shall worship or shall die. | A num'rous offspring must arise From his expiring groans; They shall be reckoned in his eyes For daughters and for sons. | The meek and humble souls shall see His table richly spread; And all that seek the Lord shall be With joys immortal fed. | The isles shall know the righteousness Of our incarnate God, And nations yet unborn profess Salvation in his blood. | |
