Crucified Upon a Tree
"And they crucified Him". Mark 15:24
Crucified upon a tree,
With the throes of pain and death;
Who is He, whose blood is shed?
Who has suffered painful death?
With the reed they struck Him on,
And crown Him. with crown of thorn
Hanged upon the shameful cross
Jesus Christ, thou art the one
Crucified upon a tree,
With great distress brought on Him;
Who is He, His father pled?
'Forgive them, O my father.
'Of the wonders that took place,
Darkness veils thine anguished face,
Hail, the eclipse of the sun;
Jesus Christ, thou art the one.
Crucified upon the tree,
Hanged upon the shameful cross.
Who is He His corpse is laid?
In the tomb of wealthy man.
Wrestling with the evil powers,
Till th' appointed time is nigh,
O'er cometh the power of death
Jesus Christ, thou art the one.

Let Us Ward Our Way to Calvary
"On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David. to cleanse them of sin and impurity" Zech. 13:1
Let us ward our way to Calvary
We, the sinners saved by grace;
There the fount of life o'er floweth;
Running for us all to drink
From the time our saviour had died
On the tree of Calvary.
Let us make our way, though in sin
We all have sinned against Him;
That we may receive salvation;
And the overflowing Joy,
See the fount of life o'er floweth
Shall bless us for ever-more.
Let us with abject poorness go
Let us with faith in Him go
Let us wash and make ourselves pure;
From our sins and from impure,
That our souls as thine be Holy,
To appear before the Lord.
Everyone who drink from this well
Shall never thirst nor shall faint;
But shall ever see God's new life,
Which shall never fade away;
They shall sit with Christ in glory,
With His angels up on high.
