For The Joy Set Before Him
By George Thurlow
For the joy set before Him
Christ endured the cross.
Though His soul was exceeding sorrowful,
He willingly paid the cost.
To lead many sons to glory
From the foundation was ordained.
Through death destroyed the power
Of the devil and his domain.
He tasted death for every man,
Taking away the sting.
Spoiling principalities and powers,
Christ the King of Kings.
Delivering all the captives
As He ascended up on high.
Fulfilling the blessed promise
That we too shall never die.

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher
of our faith; who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and is set down at the
right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:2
