O dearest Jesus, what law hast thou broken

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law hast thou broken That such sharp sentence should on thee be spoken? Of what great crime hast thou to make confession, What dark transgression? 2 They crown thy head with thorns, they smite, they scourge thee; With cruel mockings to the cross they urge thee; They give thee gall to drink, they still decry thee; They crucify thee. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which thou, Lord, must languish; Yea, all the wrath, the woe, thou dost inherit, This I do merit. 4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder! The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; The Master pays the debt his servants owe him, Who would not know him. 5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness; The sinful child of man may live in gladness; Man forfeited his life and is acquitted,- God is committed.
