English text
The Savior comes! No outward pomp
bespeaks his presence nigh;
No earthly beauties in Him shine
To draw the carnal eye.
Fair as a blooming, tender flower
Amidst the desert grows ;
So slighted and despised by man
The heavenly Savior rose.
They held Him as condemned by heaven,
An outcast from his God;
While for their sins He groaned and bled
Beneath his Father's rod.
With sinners in the dust He lay,
The rich a grave supplied;
Unspotted was His blameless life,
Unstained by sin He died.
His soul rejoicing shall behold
The purchase of his pain:
And every sinner by Him saved
Shall bless Messiah’s reign.
He died to bear the guilt of men
That sin might be forgiven;
He lives to bless them and defend
And plead their cause in heaven.
James Robertson, 1751
This version from Belknap’s Sacred Poetry, 1795, Hymn 239
