5 Jesus, the friend of human kind,
With strong compassion mov'd,

To bind his soul in death;
He shook their kingdom when he fell,
With his expiring breath.

The hope of Judah's line;
Corruption never could take hold
On aught so much divine.

While broke, beneath his pow'rful cross,
Death's iron sceptre lies.
9 Exalted high at God's right hand,
And Lord of all below,
Thro' him is pard'ning love dispens'd,
And boundless blessings flow.
10 And still for erring, guilty man,
A brother's pity flows;
And still his bleeding heart is touch'd
With mem'ry of our woes.
11 To thee, my Saviour, and my King,
Glad homage let me give;
And stand prepar'd like thee to die,
With thee that I may live.
