Signs And Sufferings Shown

Tune: Kingsfold

(\'I heard the voice of Jesus say\')

Matthew 27 v.51-56

*******

When Jesus on the cross did die

These signs came by and by

Veil of Temple was rent in two

Like no human could do

Was torn from the top to bottom

And an earthquake awesome

The rocks did split, cleaved asunder

Sights of fear and wonder

 

And graves were opened, and many

They did arise too, see

After His resurrection they

Arose and went their way

To the holy city (Jerusalem), did show

Themselves, so others know

That faithful saints did live again

For they did appear then

 

Now at the cross, centurion

Said, Jesus was the Son

Of God truly, for he did see

All that did come to be

The earthquake and all things there done

They feared greatly, the One

Crucified there, our Saviour for

Men, women, children sure
