Author: Louis F. Benson; Fred Pratt Green; Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal Music Supplement II #100 (1993) Lyrics: A.
4 O sing a song of Calvary,
its glory and dismay,
of him who hung upon the tree,
and took our sins away
For he who died on Calvary
is risen from the grave,
and Christ, our Lord,
is mighty now to save.
B.
3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They could not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your kingdom grow
till love embraces all.
C.
3 Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
let all our hearts receive,
present with thy celestial host
the peaceful answer give;
to each covenant the blood apply
which takes our sins away,
and write our names
and keep us to that day. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
[O sing a song of Bethlehem]
