Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted — Classic Hymn of Atonement

🎤 Vocals: Mira Ko 🎵 Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted - A profound hymn meditating on Christ's suffering on the cross, the severity of sin, and the wonder of His sacrifice as the Lamb of God wounded for sinners. This powerful Good Friday hymn calls us to behold Christ dying on the tree, rejected by man yet bearing the stroke of divine justice, providing a firm foundation and refuge for all who trust in Him. This deeply theological hymn reveals: • Christ crucified - the long-expected prophet, David's son yet David's Lord • The loneliness of His suffering - friends fleeing, foes insulting • The justice of God poured out on the innocent Substitute • The true nature and guilt of sin displayed at the cross • Christ as the appointed sacrifice, the Word made flesh, Son of man and Son of God • The firm foundation and refuge found only in Christ • The Lamb of God whose sacrifice cancels guilt and saves all who trust in Him ✝️ KEY MESSAGE: • See Christ dying on the tree - stricken, smitten, and afflicted • He bore the awful stroke of justice that we deserved • At the cross we see the true nature and guilt of sin • Christ is the appointed sacrifice - Son of man and Son of God • He is our firm foundation, the Rock of our salvation • The Lamb of God wounded for sinners, canceling our guilt • None shall be confounded who build their hope on Him 🎶 FULL LYRICS: [Verse 1] Stricken, smitten and afflicted, See him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected! Yes, my soul, 'tis he! 'tis he! 'Tis the long-expected prophet, David's son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis a true and faithful word. [Verse 2] Tell me, ye who hear him groaning, Was there ever grief like his? Friends thru' fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting his distress: Many hands were raised to wound him, None would interpose to save; But the awful stroke that pierced him Was the stroke that justice gave. [Verse 3] Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great; Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed! See who bears the awful load! 'Tis the Word, the Lord's anointed, Son of man, and Son of God. [Verse 4] Here we have a firm foundation; Here's the refuge of the lost: Christ, the Rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on him their hope have built. 📖 SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: • Isaiah 53:4-5 - ""Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering... he was pierced for our transgressions"" • Lamentations 1:12 - ""Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?
