Rh Look! look!—if you can bear it—
 * Look at your dying Lord!

Stand near the Cross and watch Him:
 * "Behold the Lamb of !"

His Hands and Feet are piercèd,
 * He cannot hide His Face;

And cruel men "stand staring,"
 * In crowds, about the place.

They laugh at Him and mock Him
 * They tell Him to "come down,"

And leave that Cross of suffering,
 * And change it for a Crown.

Why did He bear their mockings?
 * Was He "the Mighty ?"

And could He have destroyed them
 * With one almighty word?
