"Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon Him, went forth.... Then said Jesus unto Peter... The cup which my Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it?" (John 18:4,11).
We shall never fully know
What was in that awful cup
Filled with our eternal woe,
When our Savior drank it up.
Jesus, knowing everything
That would come upon Him then,
Went forth to bear our suffering
At the hands of sinful men.
All the treachery and scorn
That filled that vessel to the brim,
The cruel cross, the crown of thorn,
Were in that cup God gave to Him!
Contemplate how very full
That mixture was that He drank thus,
And let it thrill your heart and soul
To know He drank it all for us.
