We'll never know what suffering
Our Saviour had to bear
When He, upon that cruel cross
In shame did die up there;
But this we know, our debt was paid
Upon that cross of woe,
When God upon His Son outpoured
His wrath, so long ago.

We'll never know the price He paid
To take away our sin,
When He went down into the depths
Where none had entered in;
But this we know, God punished Him
To pardon you and me;
And now God's claims are met,
We can from guilt be free.

We'll never know how great God's love
Drew from His heart this plan,
That brought the Saviour from above
To die for sinful man;
But this we know, He loves us still
And seeks us in His grace,
That with the Son of His dear love,
In heav'n we have a place
