As On The Cross The Saviour Hung,
And Groaned, And Bled, And Died,
He Looked With Pity On A Wretch
That Languished By His Side.
The Dying Thief In Jesus Saw
A Majesty Divine;
While Scoffing Jews Around Him Stood,
And Asked Him For A Sign!
The Kingdom, Lord, Is Thine, He Said;
’Tis Thine O’er Men To Reign:
Thy Wondrous Works Thy Lordship Prove,
These Pains Thy Love Proclaim:
Honors Divine Await Thee Soon,
A Scepter And A Crown:
With Shame Thy Foes Shall Yet Behold
Thee Seated On A Throne.
Then, Gracious Lord, Remember Me!
Is Not Forgiveness Thine?
My Crimes Have Brought Me To Thy Side—
Thy Love Brought Thee To Mine!
His Prayer The Dying Jesus Hears,
And Instantly Replies,
To-Day Your Parting Soul Shall Be
With Me In Paradise.
