GOOD FRIDAY
the crucifixion
was certainly cruel
a high price paid
for our salvation
this momentous event
of sadness and tears of grief
is observed in spring time
by the christians
in the northern hemisphere
not down under
where the leaves are turning brown
in the sad season of our autumn
In tears of grief, dear Lord, we leave Thee,
Hearts cry to Thee, O Saviour dear,
Lie Thou softly, softly here.
Rest Thy worn and bruised Body,
At Thy grave, O Jesu blest.
May the sinner, worn with weeping,
Comfort find in Thy dear keeping,
And the weary soul find rest.
Sleep in peace,
Sleep Thou in the Father's
breast
