See the Destined Day Arise

See the des­tined day arise!

See a will­ing sac­ri­fice!

Jesus

to re­deem our loss

Hangs upon the shame­ful cross.

Jesus

who but Thou had borne

Lifted on that tree of scorn

Every pang and bit­ter throe

Finishing Thy life of woe?

Who but Thou had dared to drain

Steeped in gall

the cup of pain

And with ten­der bo­dy bear

Thorns

and nails

and pierc­ing spear?

Thence the cleans­ing wa­ter flowed

Mingled from Thy side with blood;

Sign to all at­test­ing eyes

Of the fin­ished sac­ri­fice.

Holy Je­sus

grant us peace

In that sac­ri­fice to place

All our trust for life re­newed

Pardoned sin and pro­mised good.

Grant us grace to sing to Thee

In the Tri­nal Uni­ty

Ever with the sons of light

Blessing

hon­or

glo­ry

might.
