(\'My God, and is thy table spread\')
Based on Luke Chapter 23 part
********
When Christ on road to Calvary
Simon was made to carry tree
Cyrenian he, journey did make
Jesus on cross our sins did take
On way to cross there women wept
They had a faithful vigil kept
But Christ said, \'Weep not daughters for me\'
Though consider this times green tree
Fro green the day, yet what shall be
When troubles more, and dry the tree?
Mourn, sorrow, repent, turn from sin
Be filled with His Spirit within
And there on cross, His words were said
\'Forgive them Father\', when He bled
\'For they do know not what they do\'
With e\'en them [He] shared His covenant new
The dying thief rejoiced that he
Same day he would in paradise be
Granted request then by Christ sure
He would remember him e\'ermore
With your grace, help, we journey on
Follow your footsteps, you have gone
Before us, lived, died, rose again
To save all children, women, men
Dark, dark, the day, you crucified
No other could pay price beside
For our sins, yet from tomb you rose
Your glorious kingdom ever grows
