The Sinner's Substitute

Author: Mrs. Cousin; James M. Gray, D. D. Hymnal: Melodies of Salvation #124 (1901) First Line: O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head Lyrics: 1 O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head! Our load was laid on Thee; Thou stoodest in the sinner’s stead, Didst bear all ill for me; A Victim led, Thy blood was shed, Now there’s no load for me. A Victim led, Thy blood was shed, Now there’s no load for me. 2 The curse of death was in our cup: The cup was full for Thee; But Thou hast drained the last dark drop, And emptied it for me. That bitter cup, love drank it up; There is no curse for me. That bitter cup, love drank it up; There is no curse for me. 3 Jehovah raised the rod to smite; The blow returned on Thee; Upon Thy form did it alight, And passed away from me; Thy soul so white did wrath affright, There is no wrath for me. Thy soul so white did wrath affright, There is no wrath for me. 4 The tempest’s awful voice was heard, Its thunders broke on Thee! Thy open bosom was my ward, And it protected me; Thy body scarred, Thy visage marred, There is no storm for me. Thy body scarred, Thy visage marred, There is no storm for me. 5 For us, Lord Jesus, hast Thou died, That we might die in Thee; But Thou art raised and glorified, And livest now in me; Hell’s host defied! heav’n open wide! There is no death for me. Hell’s host defied! heav’n open wide! There is no death for me. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Languages: English Tune Title: [O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head]

A. R. Cousin

1824 - 1906 Person Name: Mrs. Cousin Author of "The Sinner's Substitute" in Melodies of Salvation Cousin, Anne Ross, née Cundell, is the only daughter of David Ross Cundell, M.D., Leith, and is the widow of the Rev. William Cousin, late Minister of the Free Church of Melrose. She has contributed many poems to various periodicals; 7 hymns to The Service of Praise, 1865, edited by the Rev. J. H. Wilson, of Edinburgh; and 1 to the Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship, 1866, the Hymnal of the English Presbyterian Church. Four of her hymns are included in the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal, 1876. Her most popular hymn, "The sands of time are sinking," was first published in The Christian Treasury for 1857, and gives its title to the collected edition of her poems published in 1876, as Immanuel’s Land and other Pieces by A. R. C. This is a collection of 107 hymns and poems, many of which are very beautiful. In general they are, however, rather meditations than hymns suited for public worship. Of these the following, in addition to those annotated under their first lines, are in common use:— 1. King Eternal, King Immortal. Christmas. 2. O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head. Good Friday. 3. To Thee, and to Thy Christ, O God. Praise. 4. To thy father and thy mother. Filial Duty. [Rev. J. Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ===================== Cousin, Anne K., p. 264, ii. Other hymns are:— 1. None but Christ; His merit hides me. None but Christ. From her Immanuel's Land, &c, 1876, into Laudes Domini, 1884, &c. 2. O! Christ, He is the Fountain. This begins with stanza iii. of "The sands of time are sinking," p. 264, ii. 3. Saviour, shed Thy sweetest [richest] blessing. On behalf of Missioriaries. Published in Wilson's Service of Praise, 1865. 4. When we reach our peaceful dwelling. Heaven Anticipated. In her Immanuel's Land, &c. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907) ================= Cousin, A. R., p. 264, ii, Other hymns that have passed into use are:— 1. In the songless night, the daylight dreary. Jesus near. 2. Lord, mine must be a spotless dress. Christ our Righteousness. 3. O now is the time. Seek the Lord. 4. O Thou that on the billow. Jesus near. Of these No. 4 appeared in J. H. Wilson's Songs of Zion, 1862; Nos. 1 and 3 in J. H. Wilson's Service of Praise, 1865 ; and No. 2 in her own Immanuel’s Land, 1876. Mrs. Cousin died at Edinburgh Dec. 6, 1906, in her 83rd year. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.] --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
