The Death of Jesus. 26 • Shepherd greth His life for the sheep." HERE is a green hill far away Where the dear Lord was crucified, We may not know, we cannot tell, But we believe it was for us He died that we might be forgiven ; There was none other good enough of huren, and let us in. O early, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeo And try His work C. M. 27 "These things were written of Him." HAT a strange and wondrous story How the Lord of life and glory Had not where to lay His head; Father, let Thy Holy Spirit Glory, where He reigns above. All the wonders of His Name. D. 8-7. B 28 "There they crucified Him." EYOND the wicked city wall They set the cruel cross on high, Where the dear Lord, who saved us all, Did hang in pain, and bleed, and die. L.M. The hands that touched the blind to sight, Were pierced and wounded through and through. The feet that walked the stormy sea, Hung torn and hurt and bleeding there. Since God's own Son must suffer thus, O what a fearful thing is sin! O by Thy griefs that dreadful day, And make Thy sinful children good. 29 "Thou hast redeemed us by Thy blood." ROUND the throne of God in Heaven Thousands of children stand: Children, whose sins are all forgiven, A holy, happy band; Singing, glory, glory, glory! P.M. What brought them to that world above, Where all is peace and joy and love,- Because the Saviour shed His blood To wash away their sin; Bathed in that pure and precious flood, On earth they sought their Saviour's grace, Easter. 30 "Now is Christ risen from the dead." ESUS Christ is risen to-day, Our triumphant holy-day, Who did once upon the cross, 7's. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah ! Hallelujah! "The Lord is risen indeed." UR Saviour Christ is risen indeed, And Satan's captives have been freed From sin and misery; Our chains are burst, and we released, The rulers tried to guard His grave; They feared that He whom they had slain, Would on the third day rise again.
