Beloved, we are come

Based on Luke 23:46; Ps 42:7
1
Beloved, we are come
With Christ to sympathise;
For us he has the victory won,
And we shall share the prize.
2
But O remember him;
View justice, armed with wrath;
The vengeance due to Zion's sin,
Stung Zion's Lord to death.
3
In miseries great he sighed;
He groaned; he cried; he bled;
He sank in wrath's tremendous tide,
And dying, bowed his head.
4
Christians, repeat his love;
With solemn pleasure sing
The bloody conflicts of your God;
The victories of your King.
