A stunning meditation of Christ's suffering on the Cross
and the power He gives us to carry on through the darkest of times.
Throned Upon the Awful Tree
Throned upon the awful tree
Lamb of God, your grief I see
Darkness veils Your anguished face
None its lines of woe can trace
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold You silent and alone
Silent through those three dread hours
Wrestling with the evil powers
Left alone with human sin
Gloom around You and within
Till the appointed time is nigh
Till the Lamb of God may die
Hark the cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
You, the Father's only Son
You, the Father's only Son
You, His own anointed One
You are asking "can it be"
"Why have You forsaken Me?"
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Darkly o'er my sinful soul
You, who once were thus bereft
That Your own might ne'er be left
Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know You nigh
Words, John Ellerton (1875)
