"He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed.... Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief: when Thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand" (Isaiah 53:5,10).
The bruising of our precious Lord
For our iniquities
With all the wrath upon Him poured
Was surely for our peace!
It pleased the Lord to bruise the Christ,
His own beloved Son,
That He might thus be sacrificed
For souls that would be won.
O Lord, we cannot comprehend
The depths of love it took
For You to bruise the sinner's Friend
And on His grief to look.
O Savior, You were bruised for love,
And so for endless days
We'll join the multitudes above
To sing our grateful praise!
