Behold! the mighty Saviour comes
From Edom's hostile plains!
A crimson vesture he assumes;
And blood his raiment stains.
From Bozrah, glorious he appears;
His robes with vict'ry shine;
Complete salvation, lo! he wears,
With Majesty divine!
Why thus arrayed, almighty God,
In vests of purple glow;
With garments dyed in streams of blood,
That from the wine-press flow?
“The wine-press I myself have trod;
And with me there was none;
Your strength and your salvation stood
Complete in me alone.”
When not an angel's strength could bear
The vengeance of a God;
Then did the Son of man appear
In garments rolled in blood.
Alone he stood, alone he fell,
Alone the conqueror rose;
Alone he burst the bars of hell,
And trampled on his foes.
