The Crucifixion

Author: C. W. N. Meter: 12.12.12.12.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hushed is the wood-bird's note, silent her song of glee Refrain First Line: Behold, He dies, the Savior dies Lyrics: 1 Hushed is the wood-bird’s note, silent her song of glee, Shrouded in gloom the sun, shaking is Calvary; Mute are the angel hosts, awed by the sight they see, The mighty Son of God dies for humanity. Refrain: Behold, He dies, the Savior dies Upon the cross for thee. 2 Pierced are those loving hands which have so often lain Tenderly on the sick, making them whole again; Bleeding His wounded feet, thorns are the crown He wears, Thus on the cruel cross man’s load of sin He bears. [Refrain] 3 Nature in sympathy trembles and hides her face, The very hosts of ill fear and forsake the place; Of all existing things man looks in scorn alone, Feels no remorseful pang, hard is his heart of stone. [Refrain] 4 Gaze on Him hanging there, know it was all for thee, And that thy sinful deeds brought Him to Calvary; Love for thy precious soul caused Him to gladly die, That He might ransom thee for that bright home on high.
