Howard; the Great Songs Revised edited by F. A "Nazarene" was an inhabitant of Nazareth, so this immediately implies His leaving heaven and coming to earth as a human being: Jn.
That Jesus was a Nazarene is identified as the subject of prophecy: Matt. Some suggest that the root of the name "Nazareth" is branch and that this has reference to the prophecies which call the Messiah "the branch": Isa.
Others suggest that it may have reference to the fact that the Messiah was to be despised and rejected in that people would say, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?
In any event, this Nazarene certainly did love us: 1 Jn. And it is amazing love because He loved us even while we were yet sinners, condemned and unclean: Rom. Sacred Selections omits this stanza completely and Hymns for Worship changes it to, "He cried with tears in His sorrow. However, through the years that I sang the song in its original version, I always thought that this meant simply that His suffering, which included the agonizing in the garden, was not for any griefs brought about by sin on His part but that all His tears and crying were the result of our sins, the just suffering for the unjust: 1 Pet.
The last line of this stanza might be changed to "But sweat-drops AS blood for mine" sweat here is not a verb but an adjective describing drops which is a second object of the verb had. While I am not sure that the change of the previous line by Shepard and Stevens was necessary, I do believe that this change is warranted based on what the scriptures actually say, "And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground" Lk.
Some people teach that Jesus actually sweat blood in the garden, thus making atonement for our sins there. But the scriptures do not say that. Sometimes this passage is explained by pointing to a phenomenon known as "bloody sweat," that under extreme pressures, sometimes little blood vessels break so that some blood gets into the sweat and tinges it red or pink.
That may be true, but the text does not even demand that. It is not talking about color but size and manner, saying simply that Jesus was sweating so profusely that it was pouring off Him in the same way that blood would pour off a person who was cut severely.
In any event, I understand the statement to mean that all of His suffering was for us, on account of our sin: 1 Pet. Stanza 3 says that He had sorrows for us "In pity angels beheld Him, And came from the world of light To comfort Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night.
The agony of Jesus in the garden was not the end, but in fact the beginning of His sorrows, so an angel appeared from heaven, strengthening Him not only during the agony of the garden but undoubtedly for the rest of His tribulations as well: Lk.
