286: "STRICKEN, smitten, and afflicted,"

286: "STRICKEN, smitten, and afflicted,"

by Thomas Kelly (1769-1854)

1 "STRICKEN, smitten, and afflicted,"
See Him dying on the tree;
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He.
Mark the sacrifice appointed,
See who bears the awful load;
'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed,
Son of man and Son of God.

2 Here we have a firm foundation,
Here's the refuge of the lost;
Christ's the rock of our salvation;
His the name of which we boast.
Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
Sacrifice to cancel guilt,
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Thee their hope have built.
