<div class="lyrics">
|
|
<p>Throned upon the awful tree,<br>
|
|
Lamb of God, Your grief I see.<br>
|
|
Darkness veils Your anguished face;<br>
|
|
None its lines of woe can trace.<br>
|
|
None can tell what pangs unknown<br>
|
|
Hold You silent and alone.</p>
|
|
<p>Silent through those three dread hours,<br>
|
|
Wrestling with the evil powers,<br>
|
|
Left alone with human sin,<br>
|
|
Gloom around You and within,<br>
|
|
Till the appointed time is nigh,<br>
|
|
Til the Lamb of God may die.</p>
|
|
<p>Hark, that cry that peals aloud<br>
|
|
Upward through the whelming cloud!<br>
|
|
You, the Father’s only Son,<br>
|
|
You, His own anointed One,<br>
|
|
You are asking—can it be—<br>
|
|
“Why have You forsaken Me?”
|
|
<p>Lord, should fear and anguish roll,<br>
|
|
Darkly o’er my sinful soul,<br>
|
|
You, Who once were thus bereft<br>
|
|
That Your own might ne’er be left,<br>
|
|
Teach me by that bitter cry<br>
|
|
In the gloom to know You nigh.</p>
