About this Song

Text: Karen Lynn Davidson, b. 1943.
Music: English Melody
Arranged by: Timothy Max, b. 1979

Lyrics

1. O Savior, thou who wearest
   A crown of piercing thorn,
   The pain thou meekly bearest,
   Weigh'd down by grief and scorn.
   The soldiers mock and flail thee;
   For drink they give thee gall;
   Upon the cross they nail thee
   To die, O King of all.
   
   
2. Thy sacrifice transcended
   The mortal law's demand;
   Thy mercy is extended
   To ev'ry time and land.
   No more can Satan harm us,
   Tho long the fight may be,
   Nor fear of death alarm us;
   We live, O Lord, thru thee.
   
   
3. What praises can we offer
   To thank thee, Lord most high?
   In our place thou didst suffer;
   In our place thou didst die,
   By heaven's plan appointed,
   To ransom us, our King.
   O Jesus, the anointed,
   To thee our love we bring!
