A servant's form He wore,
And In His body bore
Our dreadful curse on Calvary :
He like a victim stood,
And poured His sacred blood,
To set the guilty captives free.
But soon the Victor rose
Triumphant o'er His foes,
And led the vanquished host in chains :
He threw their empire down,
His foes compelled to own
O'er all the great Messiah reigns.
