"Others He saved,
Himself He could not save,"
So scoffed the priests,
and upward rolled the wave
Of blasphemy against
the dying Lord,
Until it broke upon
the throne of God.
"Others He saved,
Himself He did not save,"
So sighed the mourners
round the Savior’s grave;
Their grief embittered
by the mystery
Why He, who Lazarus raised,
Himself need die.
"Others He saved,
Himself He would not save,"
There rests the truth,
His life for us He gave:
O ruined heart!
thy Savior had to choose,
If He should die,
or thou salvation lose.
