"They pierced My hands and My feet… I will declare Thy name unto My brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise Thee" (Psalm 22:16,22). "Whoso findeth Me findeth life" (Proverbs 8:35). "Go to My brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father, and your Father; and to My God, and your God… Jesus… stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when He had so said, he showed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord" (John 20:17-20).
They pierced our
Savior's hands and feet;
His foes then
thought this was the end,
But Christ would
rise, and thus complete
God's Word they
did not comprehend!
Behold Him risen
from the strife
For sinners that
He died to save,
Displaying
resurrection life
That routed death
and robbed the grave!
"Go to My
brethren," said our Savior,
And then His
Father's name proclaimed.
How gracious is
His loving favor!
He calls us
brethren, unashamed!
Lord, risen in
reality,
You then displayed
Your hands and side.
Your wounds of
love eternally
Are tokens that for
us You died!
