Christ's sufferings and zeal

Hymnal: Psalms, carefully suited to the Christian worship in the United States of America #141 (1791) First Line: 'Twas for our sake, eternal God Lyrics: 1 'Twas for thy sake, eternal God, Thy Son sustain'd that heavy load Of base reproach, and sore disgrace, While shame defil'd his sacred face. 2 The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abus'd the Man that check'd their sin; While he fulfil'd thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. [3 "My Father's house," said he, "was made "A place for worship, not for trade;" Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass, He scourg'd the merchants from the place. [4 Zeal for the temple of his God Consum'd his life, expos'd his blood: Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourn'd them as his own.] [5 His friends forsook, his followers fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] [6 His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies: They nail him to the shameful tree; There hung the man that dy'd for me.] 7 But God beheld; and from his throne, Marks out the men that hate his son, The hand that rais'd him from the dead Shall pour the vengeance on their head. Scripture: Psalm 69:7-36 Languages: English
