View Him yonder, sinner, sweating in the garden. See the ruby
drops of blood as they fall from that dear visage!
Oh, see Him sinner, see Him in Pilate's hall. View the streams of gore as they gush from those lacerated shoulders!
See Him, sinner, see Him on His cross!
View that holy head still marked with the wounds with which the thorns pierced His sacred temples!
Oh, view that pure face, emaciated and marred!
See the vile spittle still hanging there, the spittle of cruel mockers!
View those loving eyes floating in tears with languid pity!
Look, too, at those kind hands, and view them as they stream like fountains of blood!
Oh, see Him sinner, see Him in Pilate's hall. View the streams of gore as they gush from those lacerated shoulders!
See Him, sinner, see Him on His cross!
View that holy head still marked with the wounds with which the thorns pierced His sacred temples!
Oh, view that pure face, emaciated and marred!
See the vile spittle still hanging there, the spittle of cruel mockers!
View those loving eyes floating in tears with languid pity!
Look, too, at those kind hands, and view them as they stream like fountains of blood!

Zechariah 12:10 ... And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
John 19:37 ... And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
Revelation 1:7 ... Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.❤
