Oh, aw­ful load for that bowed head,
Terrific weight for that marred form;
He bore your sins, your bur­den dread,
And braved your judg­ment’s fear­ful storm.

Refrain

Thy death, Lord Je­sus, ev­er­more
Shall be our song on yon­der shore;
We’ll praise the bless­èd One who bore
Our load of sin up­on the tree.

Transferred to Him the guilt­less, see
Your guilt, in blood your debt was paid;
Behold, to set the cap­tive free,
Jesus the great sin of­fer­ing made.

Refrain

Believe, be­lieve, thou guil­ty one
That all thy sins de­serv­ing doom
Were borne by Christ, God’s ho­ly Son,
For thou hast bowed Him to the tomb.
