The hymn, "Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow" #299 from Hymns of Grace.
Cross of Jesus Cross of Sorrow
Words: William J. S. Simpson, 1886
Music: John Stainer, 1887
1. Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled!
2. Here the King of all the ages,
Throned in light ere worlds could be,
Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.
3. Oh, mysterious condescending!
Oh, abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!
4. Evermore for human failure
By His passion we can plead;
God has borne all mortal anguish,
Surely He will know our need.
Vocalists: Jaz Hoffman, Philip Webb
Instrumentalists: Logan Hodgson, Eric Lan, Mark Rice

Beautifully sung and accompanied. I loved the a capella verse - very appropriate.
I do think, tho' that it is a good idea to always sing the 1st verse of a hymn without harmony so the listener can get on board. Best regards. G Ire

Great suggestion!
