1. Saw ye my savior! Saw ye my savior!
Saw ye my savior God!
O He died on Calvary, To atone for you and me,
And to purchase our pardon with blood.
2. He was extended, He was extended,
Painfully nailed to the cross,
There he bowed his head and died, There my Lord was crucified,
To atone for a world that was lost.
3. Jesus hung bleeding, Jesus hung bleeding,
Three dreadful hours of pain;
And the solid rocks were rent, Thro' creation's vast extent,
When the Jews crucified the Lord.
4. Darkness prevailed, Darkness prevailed,
Darkness prevailed o'er the land;
And the sun refused to shine, While his Majesty divine,
Was derided, insulted, and slain.
5. When it was finished, When it was finished,
And the atonement was made,
He was taken by the great, And embalmed in spices sweet,
And was in a new sepulchre laid.
6. Hail mighty Savior, Hail mighty Savior,
Author and Prince of peace,
O! He burst the bars of death, And triumphant from the earth,
He ascended to mansions of love. |
