Throned Upon
Throned upon the awful tree,                                                  the Awful Tree"
Lamb of God, Your grief I see.                                                                          mp3
Darkness veils Your anguished face;                                                           lyrics
None its lines of woe can trace.                                                       chord chart
None can tell what pangs unknown                                                soundtrack
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, that cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
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)
