    THAT TORTURE OF THE LORD UPON THE TREE

    VERSE 1
    That torture of the Lord Upon the tree
    That aweful death of the Lord and suffering,
    All show His love for sinful man.

    VERSE 2
    Behold they mocked, see how they jeered at Him,
    See how they slapped, disgraced Him for mankind
    He uttered not even a word.

    VERSE 3
    Tribulation and anguish who would bear?
    'Cause of His love for all men, He pleaded,
    "Dear Father, please forgive them all";

    VERSE 4
    The words of love He uttered were seven,
    Upon the cross to show love and mercy,
    Releasing life and peace to man.

    VERSE 5
    Lord who would e'er be likened unto thee?
    Who else in love and mercy, is like Thee?
    Who else has giv’n his life for man?

    VERSE 6
    Make us like Thee possess love and mercy,
    That we may, one another's burden bear,
    And with our neighbours, dwell in peace.

    Amen
