"The Lord hath made known His salvation: His righteousness hath He openly showed in the sight of the heathen. He hath remembered His mercy and His truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God" (Psalm 98:2,3). ""He that is hanged is accursed of God.... The Lord thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the Lord thy God loved thee" (Deuteronomy 21:23, 23:5).
Because our Savior loved us,
For us He was accursed.
Crucified He suffered thus,
And took this world's worst.
What mercy God has fashioned!
What truth He has displayed!
What marvelous compassion
Our ransom thus has paid!
