Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the
land unto the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus

into Thy hands I commend My Spirit", and having said thus, He gave up the

Oh, My Dear Savior, You died in my place,
You were mangled and disgraced,
As I should have been.

Oh, My Dear Savior, You went into Hell,
You were a Warrior Oh, so well,
I should have been in Your place.

Oh, My Dear Savior, You arose the Third Day,
Surprised all of the disciples with dismay,
All but the women who loved You.

Oh, My Dear Savior, You are now at God's right hand
We are at Your total command,
All because of Your great, magnificent Work of Love.

Oh, Jesus, How we love You, How we praise You, How we Thank You.
You are Risen, Risen, Risen, Hallelujah.
Amen and Amen
