On the cross and they hung Him shame was forsaken As they drove the nails in His hands and His feet As death closed his eyes His cries went to Heaven Oh Father forgive them I hear Him redeem One morning past day-break as the crowd slowly gathered Like a sheep He was humble to His Father's own will So sad was His face there the birds hushed their singing They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill In the tomb he was laid but death could not hurt Him He was God's only son in this world below On the cross He fulfilled the plan of salvation I want to thank Jesus for His coming again One morning past day-break as the crowd slowly gathered Like a sheep He was humble to His Father's own will So sad was His face there the birds hushed their singing They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill One morning past day-break as the crowd slowly gathered Like a sheep He was humble to His Father's own will So sad was His face there the birds hushed their singing They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill They were walking my Lord up Calvary's hill
