Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted Chords
from "Hymns of the Son"
(Capo 3)
​
​
Intro/Interludes:
Em D C
Em D C Em
​
Em D
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
C 

See Him dying on the tree.

Em D

'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
C (C/B) Em
yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He.

G D

'Tis the long expected Prophet,
Em D
David's Son, yet David's Lord;

Em D
By his Son God now has spoken:
C D Em

'tis the true and faithful Word.



​
Em D
Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
C
was there ever grief like His.

Em D
Friends through fear His cause disowning,
C (C/B) Em

foes insulting his distress;

(D/F#) G D
Many hands were raised to wound Him,
Em D

none would interpose to save;

Em D
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
C D Em

was the stroke that justice gave.



​
​
Em D 

Ye who think of sin but lightly
C
nor suppose the evil great;

Em D
Here may view its nature rightly,
C (C/B) Em

here its guilt may estimate.

(D/F#) G D

Mark the sacrifice appointed,
Em D
see who bears the awful load;

Em D

'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed,
C D Em
Son of Man and Son of God.



​
​
Em D 

Here we have a firm foundation,
C 

here the refuge of the lost;

Em D
Christ the rock of our salvation,
C (C/B) Em

His the name of which we boast.

(D/F#) G D
Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
Em D

sacrifice to cancel guilt.

Em D
None shall ever be confounded
C D Em

who on Him their hope have built.
