EN 4683 How Bitter-Sweet the Mystery
Rom.5.8
Versi Version 1
1
How bitter-sweet the mystery:
Christ Jesus crucified.
Yet, He is not the guilty one,
No sin, though still He dies.
2
Hung on a cross of rugged wood,
Received He from God’s hand,
The penalty, the wage of sin,
Deserved by wicked man.
3
O! Even more hope we shall find
Beyond the death He died.
Consider this, that from the grave
He rose and is alive.
4
For to this end Christ Jesus died
Was raised and lives again;
That He might be the Lord of both
The dead and the living!
5
What glorious day we long await
When Christ His church shall raise.
Since then for all eternity
The Risen One we’ll praise.
6
God demonstrates His love in this:
While we were yet in sin,
Christ Jesus died on our behalf.
We’re saved from wrath through Him!
7
Now sinner, hear! To His grace turn!
Repent, and be forgiv’n—
United with Him in His death;
Alive with Him now ris’n.
