Lord, We Treasure With Affection

He is despised and left alone of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and like one from whom [men] hide their faces; -- despised, and we esteemed him not. Isaiah 53:3

Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. Acts 5:20

  1. John 16:27, John 17:26Lord, we treasure with affection

    Isaiah 53:3, Acts 5:20All Thy path of sorrow here,

    Matthew 27:45-50, Luke 24:26And those closing scenes of anguish

    John 20:15,16, 1 John 4:19To our hearts Thyself endear.

  2. Mark 14:34, Luke 22:44Deep Thy sorrow then, Lord Jesus,

    Matthew 26:37,38, Mark 15:33,34Deeper far than thought can reach;

    Luke 24:26, 1 Peter 5:1Grief intense and suff'rings holy,

    Psalms 69:2, Mark 15:33,34Far beyond all tongues to teach.

  3. Matthew 26:56, Mark 14:27None could follow there, blest Saviour,

    Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:33,34When Thou didst for sins atone;

    Psalms 22:14,15, Lamentations 1:12For those suff'rings, deep, unfathomed,

    1 Peter 2:23,24, Lamentations 1:12Were, Lord Jesus, Thine alone!

  4. Luke 22:44,45, 2 Corinthians 5:21Thou didst measure then sin's distance,

    Matthew 27:45, Galatians 3:13Darkness, wrath and curse were Thine!

    Matthew 27:39,40,46, Mark 15:33,34Man betrayed, by God forsaken;

    Ephesians 5:25, 2 Thessalonians 2:16Thus we learn Thy love divine!
