Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted

With lyrics
Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted
Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted
See him dying on the tree
Tis’ the Christ by man rejected
Yes my soul tis heat is He
Tis the long Expected prophet
David’s Son yet David’s Lord
By His Son God has now spoken
Tis the true and faithful Word
Tell me he who hear him groaning
Was there ever grief like his
Friends through fear, his caused disowning
Foes insulting his distress
Many hands were raised to wound Him
None would enter posed to save
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
Was the stroke that justice gave
He who think of sin but lightly
Nor suppose the evil great
Here may view its nature rightly
Here its guilt may estimate
Mark the Sacrifice Appointed
See who bears the awful load
Tis the Word, the Lord’s Annointed
Son of Man and Son of God
Here we have a firm foundation
Here the refuge of the lost
Christ the Rock of our Salvation
Is the name on which we boast
Lamb of God for sinners wounded
Sacrificed to cancel guilt
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Him there hope have built
