Tune: Love Unknown

('My song is love unknown')

Luke 23 v.26-31

*********

They led away Jesus

He gave His life for us

Simon of Cyrene

They laid upon him, see

The cross of Jesus, he did bear

It, and carried it for Him there

 

And a great company

Along the journey be

They wept and wailed, but He

Said, Women, not for me

Weep, but for yourselves and children

For the days that shall follow then

 

Days in which barren blesses

Shall be, and so confesses

Happy they that ne'er bore

Children, descendants sure

For they shall be saved misery

Of troubles and calamity

 

In those days they shall say

Mounts, fall on us, we pray

And hills cover us, hide

Us, we 'neath you reside

For now as green tree with turmoil

What shall be done when dry tree all*?

------

* The metaphor thought here is that it is a 'green tree' time.

Bad enough things happen now, but in the 'dry tree' time

they will be worse.
