Holy Week — The Seven Words From the Cross — The Sixth Word (John 19:30) (1)
Basil NaylorThanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
We praise thee, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, because thou didst submit to the discipline of a son’s obedience, and perfectly revealed in thy death the Father’s nature as love.
We praise thee, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of Man, because as champion of men thou didst enter the battle against evil for their sakes, and won the perfect victory over its power.
We praise thee, Lord Jesus Christ, Servant of God, because thou didst accept the suffering of those who seek to be at one with those they serve, and by thy perfect sacrifice made us one with God.
Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
