Learn more at http://GloryToTheHolyOne.com Lyrics: Refrain Heavy is our Savior's cross Weighed down by human sin His blood so pure, no earthly dross Is borne by only Him Mocked, scourged, with thorns for a crown The Lamb is led away A cross to bear for sinners bound On this, His final day Refrain Rough, hewn, unpolished the wood A cross for all our sin Will hold the pain no mortal could A death reserved for Him A death reserved for Him Life torn from flesh and from bone Yet still a pain far worse For all of sin He must atone The weight of heaven's curse Refrain Death, loss, the dark shadows day His work now almost done Naught else will do, no other way Salvation must be won Refrain His blood so pure, no earthly dross Is borne by only Him Note: For theological clarity, Dr. Sproul has changed the word “man” used in the second verse of this hymn to “our.” Blog Series: Randall Van Meggelen, a church musician, comments on this hymn: http://www.ligonier.org/blog/church-singing-heavy-our-saviors-cross/ Featuring lyrics drawn from Scripture and a lifetime of theological reflection, Glory to the Holy One is a collection of beautiful new hymns written by Dr. R.C.
