“Before you” He trod all the path of woe,
He endured sharp strikes with His head bend low.
He knew the deepest sorrow, pain, and grief,
He faced fraught endurance without relief,
He cured all the bitter from death’s deep cup,
He withheld no blood drops but gave them all up.
“Before you” and for you, He won the fight,
To bring you to glory and realms of light.
