“Hark? what mean those piercing cries?
Say? what means that dreadful groan?-
‘Tis the GOD of Nature dies?
To make a fall’n world his own.
See the great Almighty LORD
Suff’ring on the tree-expire?
JESU, GOD?-incarnate WORD?
Dies to free our souls from ire.
Finish’d ’tis, our JESU said,
Bow’d, and yielded up the ghost;
Alone, for fall’n man he bled,
Shout it loud angelic host.
Devils heard the mighty sound,
When the earth convulsive crash’d,
Griev’d mankind a CHRIST had found,-
Fled and hid their heads abash’d.
(Elizabeth Beverley)”
