31. They Led Him Away

1 They led Him away to be crucified,
The meek and lowly Jesus!
And there on the cross, between thieves He died,
My wonderful, wonderful Jesus.

Refrain:
They led Him away, they led Him away,
To Calvary’s rugged cross!
He followed, alone,
Our sins to atone,
This wonderful, wonderful Jesus.

2 They led Him away—nor did He rebel,
The great, redeeming Jesus!
The anguish He suffered no tongue can tell
This wonderful, wonderful Jesus. [Refrain]

3 They led Him away—and He died for me,
The loving, living Jesus!
I’ll follow His steps till His face I see,
This wonderful, wonderful Jesus. [Refrain]
