"He Hath Made Him to be Sin for Us"

A hymn written by William Gadsby. (in long meter)

"He Hath Made Him to be Sin for Us"

1. Behold a scene of matchless grace,
’Tis Jesus in the sinner’s place:
Heaven’s brightest glory sunk in shame,
That rebels might adore His name.

2. Tremendous clouds of wrath and dread,
In vengeance burst upon His head;
Ten thousand horrors seize His soul,
And vengeful mountains on Him roll.

3. He sighed; he groaned; he sweat; he cried;
Through awful floods He passed and died;
All penal wrath to Zion due,
Infinite Justice on Him threw.

4. He rose in triumph from the dead;
Justice declared the debt was paid;
Then Christ with kingly grandeur flew,
And took His throne in glory too.

5. Come, saints, with solemn pleasure trace
The boundless treasures of His grace;
He bore almighty wrath for you,
That you might all His glory view.
