Representative Text

1 In the hall of judgment see the Saviour stand,
Deadly pow’rs of darkness wait on every hand,
See the guarding sentry; hear the cruel word—
Crucify Him! Crucify your King and Lord.

Refrain:
Hail Him, crown Him King of kings, ye nations rise,
Join the angels’ songs of praise that fill the skies.

2 Oh, on calv’ry’s brow behold the Crucified,
See the cruel cross, the bleeding hands and side;
Oh, the grief and pain that paid the price of sin!
Oh, the wondrous love that sought the world to win. [Refrain]

3 See within the shadows gleam of angels’ wings,
Hear the heav’nly word that through the silence rings;
Look within the tomb; behold the Saviour rise,
Hail the risen One, the King of earth and skies. [Refrain]
