Oh, Who Is This That Cometh Hymn Lyrics

1 Oh, who is this that cometh

From Edom’s crimson plain,

With wounded side, with garments dyed ?

Oh, tell me now Thy name,

“I that saw thy soul’s distress,

A ransom gave;

I that speak in righteousness,

Mighty to save !

“Mighty to save ! ..

Mighty to save ! . .

Lord, I’ll trust Thy wondrous love,

Mighty to save !

2 Oh, why is Thine apparel

So very deeply dyed ?—

Like them that tread the wine-press red ?

Oh, why this crimson tide ?

“I the wine-press trod alone,

‘Neath darkening skies;

Of the people there was none

Mighty to save!”

3 O bleeding Lamb, my Saviour,

How couldst Thou bear this shame?

With mercy fraught, Thine arm hath brought

Salvation in Thy name !

“I the victory have won,

Conquered the grave:

Now the year of joy has come—

Mighty to save!”
