Suffering Scenes

Tune: Horsley

(\'There is a green hill\')

Luke 23 v.26-43 parts

*******

On way to crucifixion site

Jesus the world\'s true Light

One Simon, he does bear His cross

Who dies to heal our loss

 

Midst company, much lamenting

And too of bewailing

Jesus said, Daughters, not for me

Weep, but for yourselves, see

 

For if they do these things these days

Follow on in such ways

In these days, which are as green tree

What deeds [shall] in dry tree be?

 

When crucified, it Jesus\' plea

Father, forgive them free

For they know not what they do, how

They put me to death now

 

Two criminals too crucified

There with Him, ere they died

One repentant said, Jesus, Lord

Look on me, hear my word

 

And remember me when you come

Into your kingdom, home

Jesus said, Truly, with me you

Shall join paradise new
