How dreadful was the hour | F |
When God our wand'rings laid | G |
And did at once his vengeance pour | H |
Upon the Shepherd's head | I |

How glorious was the grace | J |
When Christ sustained the stroke | K |
His life and blood the Shepherd pays | L |
A ransom for the flock | M |

His honor and his breath | N |
Were taken both away | C |
Joined with the wicked in his death | N |
And made as vile as they | C |

But God shall raise his head | I |
O'er all the sons of men | O |
And make him see a num'rous seed | P |
To recompense his pain | Q |

I'll give him saith the Lord | R |
A portion with the strong | S |
He shall possess a large reward | R |
And hold his honors long | S |
