Crucifixion.&#8221;</p>

<p>Behold the Savior of mankind<br>
Nailed to the shameful tree!<br>
How vast the love that Him inclined<br>
To bleed and die for thee!</p>
<p>Hark, how He groans, while nature shakes,<br>
And earth&#8217;s strong pillars bend;<br>
The temple&#8217;s veil in sunder breaks,<br>
The solid marbles rend.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8217;Tis done!&#8221; The precious ransom&#8217;s paid,<br>
&#8220;Receive My soul,&#8221; He cries!<br>
See where He bows His sacred head!<br>
He bows His head, and dies!</p>
<p>But soon He&#8217;ll break death&#8217;s envious chain,<br>
And in full glory shine:<br>
O Lamb of God! was ever pain,<br>
Was ever love, like Thine?</p>
