Lyrics: "Crucify, crucify! Be thou the Christ, the Son of God?"
"I am thus souls be saved."
"It's blasphemy," was heard the cray, "he's guilty now of death!"
The Savior then was spit upon and struck with open palm.
Tho' bound and bruised in innocence, he stayed serene and calm.

With mocking words they watched the crown of thorns placed on His head.
A passerby did bear His cross as to Calvary Christ was led,
And there His guiltless blood was shed, His hands and feet were torn
When on the cross they nailed our Lord, forsaken and forlorn.

Enduring all the agony He hung between two thieves.
His sorrowed soul cried out, "My God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
The body yielded up the ghost to be buried in a grave.
His blood was spilt for sins of men, each mortal soul to save.
