Jesus Hasting to Suffer
Olney Hymns, William Cowper, from Cowper's Poems, Sheldon & Company, New York
The Saviour, what a noble flame Good will to men, and zeal for God, With all His suffering full in view, Lord, we return Thee what we can: And while Thy bleeding glories hereWas kindled in His breast,
When hasting to Jerusalem,
He march'd before the rest;
His every thought engross;
He longs to be baptized with blood,
He pants to reach the cross!
And woes to us unknown,
Forth to the task His spirit flew;
'Twas love that urged Him on.
Our hearts shall sound abroad,
Salvation to the dying Man,
And to the rising God!
Engage our wondering eyes,
We learn our lighter cross to bear,
