ON THIS SHEET: Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, · See Him dying on the tree! · 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; · Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He! · 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, · David's Son, yet David's Lord; · Proofs I see sufficient of it: · 'Tis the true and faithful Word. — Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, · Was there ever grief like His? · Friends through fear His cause disowning, · Foes insulting His distress; · Many hands were raised to wound Him, · None would interpose to save; · But the deepest stroke that pierced Him · Was the stroke that Justice gave. — Ye 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 Anointed, · Son of Man and Son of God. — Here we have a firm foundation, · Here the refuge of the lost; · Christ's the Rock of our salvation, · His the name of which we boast. · Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, · Sacrifice to cancel guilt! · None shall ever be confounded · Who on Him their hope have built. — Thomas Kelly, 1804. LETTER SIZE: 1/4-inch. HANDWRITING: manuscript print. SHEETS: Copywork (Step 1), First Letter Hints (Step 2), Memory Lines (Step 3), Source Text, First Letters Only.
