Text:
When
on the cross Jesus hung with two malefactors,
One mocking
Jesus said: “save thyself”.
He was rebuked by the other
and Christ said:
“Today shalt thou be with me in
paradise”.
Christ, our Redeemer, oh, how He loves us!
If
we will follow Him, He’ll surely save us.
When on the
cross Jesus saw His mother,
And the disciple whom He loved,
He
saith “Woman, behold thy Son!”
Then to His disciple
“Behold thy mother!”
Christ, our Redeemer, oh, how He
loves us!
Compassion, tenderness for us, His children.
When
on the cross under words meant to accuse Him:
“This is Jesus
the King of the Jews”.
On Golgatha, bruised, pierced and
bleeding, our Savior said:
“Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do”.
Christ, our Redeemer, oh, how He
loves us!
Let us be forgiving, for He forgives us.
When
the earth darkened, with loud voice our Savior cried
“Father,
into Thy hands I commend my spirit”.
“Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani”, cried our Savior,
“It is finished.” Amen.
