It was in an old red paperback hymnal that belonged to my godfather. If memory serves me correctly the hymnal was from around the nineteen twenties. I don’t remember the title.
VERSE 1
One day Jesus came from heaven
that our sins might be forgiven
and to redeem us from the curse of broken law.
How his enemies did hate him,
day by day they sought to slay him,
yet he humbly stood before them like a dove.
CHORUS
Don’t you hear the hammer ringing?
Can’t you feel old death a stinging?
But when Christ arose the sting of death was gone.
He ascended up to Glory,
Left us here to tell the story
And he’s by his father pleading for you and me.
VERSE 2
When he died the sun stopped shining,
loved ones stood before him pining,
as they watched them nail their master to the tree (?)
Can’t you hear the savior groaning
as the world was all in mourning
when he cried out, “It is finished!” then he died.
—Chorus—
—End—
