Hymn/Song Information

My sins laid open to the rod The back




My sins laid open to the rod,
The back which from the law was free;
And the eternal Son of God
Received the stripes once due to me.


No beam was in His eye, nor mote,
Nor laid to Him was any blame;
And yet His cheeks
for me were smote—
The cheeks that
never blushed for shame.


I pierced those sacred hands and feet
That never touched or walked in sin;
I broke the heart that only beat
The souls of sinful men to win.


That sponge of vinegar and gall
Was placed by me upon His tongue;
And when derision mocked His call,
I stood that mocking crowd among.


And yet His blood was shed for me,
To be of sin the double cure;
And balm there flows
from Calvary’s tree
That heals my guilt
and makes me pure.
