They Crucified Him

Come

sin­ner

be­hold what Je­sus hath done

Behold how He suf­fered for thee:

They cru­ci­fied Him

God’s in­no­cent Son

Forsaken

He died on the tree.

They cru­ci­fied Him

they cru­ci­fied Him

They nailed Him to the tree.

And so there He died

a king cru­ci­fied

To save a poor sin­ner like me.

From Heav­en He came

He loved you—He died:

Such love as His nev­er was known;

Behold

on the cross your king cru­ci­fied

To make you an heir to His throne.

No pi­ty­ing eye

a sav­ing arm

none.

He saw us and pi­tied us then;

Alone in the fight

the vic­to­ry He won;

O praise Him

ye child­ren of men!

They cru­ci­fied Him

and yet He for­gave

My Fa­ther

for­give them! He cried;

What must He have borne

the sin­ner to save

When un­der the bur­den He died.

So what will you do with Je­sus your king?

Say

how will you meet Him at last?

What plea in the day of wrath will you bring

When of­fers of mer­cy are past?
