All the words sung from that time-split day

Hinge on this one man this lamb of God

Held fast by His solid will

The will of the Father made

Mountain strong in the love of His

Son

Oh dare see our dark world

Without this bold act of humble love

No melody would fill the air 

Yet now a true sound carries forward

Generations of men and women loud lunged 

With skill and sound sing out

The fire of God’s Spirit burning in their chest as His violent act is remembered 

Love suffered long became our sin

And inspires our song

Do you hear the people long forgotten from the earth in today’s graceful hymn?

Will you join their song?
