The Cross of Calvary

Hymnal: The Psalter #47 (1912) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: My God, My God, I cry to Thee Lyrics: 1 My God, My God, I cry to Thee; O why hast Thou forsaken Me? Afar from Me, Thou dost not heed, Though day and night for help I plead. 2 But Thou art holy in Thy ways, Enthroned upon Thy people's praise; Our fathers put their trust in Thee, Believed, and Thou didst set them free. 3 They cried, and, trusting in Thy Name, Were saved, and were not put to shame; But in the dust My honor lies, While all reproach and all despise. 4 My words a cause for scorn they make, The lip they curl, the head they shake, And, mocking, bid Me trust the Lord Till He salvation shall afford. 5 My trust on Thee I learned to rest When i was on My mother's breast; From birth Thou art My God alone, Thy care My life has ever known. 6 O let Thy strength and presence cheer, For trouble and distress are near; Be Thou not far away from Me, I have no source of help but Thee. 7 Unnumbered foes would do Me wrong, They press about Me, fierce and strong, Like beasts of prey their rage they vent, My courage fails, My strength is spent. 8 Down unto death Thou leadest Me, Consumed by thirst and agony; With cruel hate and anger fierce My helpless hands and feet they pierce. 9 While on My wasted form they stare, The garments torn from Me they share, My shame and sorrow heeding not, And for My robe they cast the lot. 10 O Lord, afar no longer stay; O Thou My helper, haste, I pray; From death and evil set Me free; I live, for Thou didst answer Me. 11 I live and will declare Thy fame Where brethren gather in Thy Name; Where all Thy faithful people meet, I will Thy worthy praise repeat.
