Teach us how to spend Good Friday With Thee Cru-ci - fied.

A-men.

ALL last night while men were sleeping

Thou didst know no moment's rest,

Kneeling lonely in the garden
Sorrowful and sore distrest.
Judas with a band of soldiers

Seeking to betray Thee, came,
With a traitor's kiss he hailed Thee,
Calling on Thy Holy Name.
JESUS, JESUS, call Thy loving children
Closer to Thy Side;

Teach us how to spend Good Friday
With Thee Crucified.

Up and down about the city

Thou wert dragged throughout the night; Pilate scourged Thee, Herod mocked Thee,

Clad Thee in a robe of white.
Sacred Head with thorns surrounded,
Sacred flesh with scourging torn,
How could we, Thy loving children,
Leave Thee this Good Friday morn?
JESUS, JESUS, etc.

Now a heavy cross they give Thee,

Make Thee bear it on the way;

Ah, dear LORD, that Thou would'st let us Help Thee carry it to-day.

Hark, He speaketh-"Yes, My children,
You can help Me, if you try

Lovingly My steps to follow
On the road to Calvary."

JESUS, JESUS, etc.

See, the Saviour fainteth, falleth :

His dread Cross must Simon bear

Calvary's Hill at length He reacheth

On the Cross is nailèd there. Yes, the cruel nails are driven

Through the sacred Hands and Feet,
Now the Cross is raised, and JESUS
Hangs beneath the sun's fierce heat.
JESUS, JESUS, etc.

“Father,”—hark, He cries—“forgive them,
For they know not what they do."
Ah, dear LORD, when we were sinful
What we did we never knew.
Make us hate the sins which nailed Thee,
Bleeding, dying, to the Tree,

And when Satan tempts, oh, let us
Think what sin has cost to Thee.
JESUS, JESUS, call Thy loving children
Closer to Thy Side;

Teach us how to spend Good Friday
With Thee Crucified.

SHALL

HALL JESUS tread the path alone, The Cross to Calvary bearing, While I my LORD and GOD disown, The world's vain pleasures sharing? Oh no, my only thought to-day Shall be of JESUS dying, While close beside the Cross I stay, To Him for mercy crying.

Upon the Cross shall JESUS thirst,

His lips all parched and burning,
While I refuse to fast and pray,
To mirth and feasting turning?

Oh no, my only thought, etc.

Shall Mary stand beside the Cross,
Her heart with anguish breaking,
