Where the dear Lord was cruci-fied, Who died to save us all. A-men.

Copyright by John H. Gower

2 We may not know, we cannot tell

What pains He had to bear,

But we believe it was for us

He hung and suffered there.

3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by His precious blood.

4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin,
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.

5 Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved,

And we must love Him too,

And trust in His redeeming blood,

And try His works to do

Amen.

Where the dear Lord was cru- ci-fied, Who died to save us

(J=90) Lord Jesus! when we stand a-far, And gaze up on Thy holy Cross,

In love of Thee, and scorn of self, Oh, may we count the world as loss. Amen.

Craving par - don for Thy foes: Hear us, Ho - ly Je

"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they "Woman, behold thy son!"
do."-ST. LUKE, Xxiii.34

1 Jesus, in Thy dying woes,
Even while Thy life-blood flows,
Craving pardon for Thy foes:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 Saviour, for our pardon sue,
When our sins Thy pangs renew,
For we know not what we do:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

3 Oh, may we, who mercy need,

Be like Thee in heart and deed,
When with wrong our spirits bleed:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART II

"To-day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise."
ST. LUKE, Xxiii.43

1 Jesus, pitying the sighs
Of the thief, who near Thee dies,
Promising him Paradise:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 May we, in our guilt and shame,
Still Thy love and mercy claim,
Calling humbly on Thy Name:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

3 Oh, remember us who pine,
Looking from our cross to Thine;
Cheer our souls with hope divine:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

"Behold thy mother!" ST. JOHN, xix.26, 27

1 Jesus, loving to the end
Her whose heart Thy sorrows rend,
And Thy dearest human friend,
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 May we in Thy sorrows share,
And for Thee all peril dare,
And enjoy Thy tender care:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

3 May we all Thy loved ones be,
All one holy family,

Loving for the love of Thee:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

PART IV

"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"
ST. MATT. xxvii.46

1 Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown,
With our evil left alone,

While no light from heav'n is shown:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 When we vainly seem to pray,
And our hope seems far away,
In the darkness be our stay:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

3 Though no Father seem to hear,
Though no light our spirits cheer,
Tell our faith that God is near:

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

While Thy wounds Thy life-blood drain, 3 Brighten all our heav'nward way,

The seven Words to be chanted in deliberate time and in unison, thus:

Now scornfully sur round - ed With thorns, Thine only crown;
