Throned Upon the Awful Tree
Throned upon the awful tree
King of grief, your form we see
Shadows veil your anguished face
None its lines of woe can trace
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold you silent and alone
Silent through those dreadful hours
Wrestling with the evil powers
Left alone with human sin
Darkness round you and within
Till between the earth and sky
You the Lamb of God must die
Hark, the cry that rings aloud
Upwards through the covering cloud!
Christ, the Father's only Son
Jesus, his Anointed One
You are asking, can it be?
'Why have you forsaken me?'
You are asking, can it be?
'Why have you forsaken me?'
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Over my poor darkened soul
Since you once alone were left
That we might not be bereft
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Over my poor darkened soul
Since you once alone were left
That we might not be bereft
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Over my poor darkened soul
Since you once alone were left
That we might not be bereft
Teach me by that bitter cry
You are near me though I die
Teach me by that bitter cry
You are near me though I die
King of grief, your form we see
Shadows veil your anguished face
None its lines of woe can trace
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold you silent and alone
Silent through those dreadful hours
Wrestling with the evil powers
Left alone with human sin
Darkness round you and within
Till between the earth and sky
You the Lamb of God must die
Hark, the cry that rings aloud
Upwards through the covering cloud!
Christ, the Father's only Son
Jesus, his Anointed One
You are asking, can it be?
'Why have you forsaken me?'
You are asking, can it be?
'Why have you forsaken me?'
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Over my poor darkened soul
Since you once alone were left
That we might not be bereft
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Over my poor darkened soul
Since you once alone were left
That we might not be bereft
Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Over my poor darkened soul
Since you once alone were left
That we might not be bereft
Teach me by that bitter cry
You are near me though I die
Teach me by that bitter cry
You are near me though I die
