The London Fox Singers - Extended on a Cursed Tree

Extended on a cursed tree
Be-smeared with dust, and sweat, and blood
See there, the King of Glory see
Sinks and expires the Son of God

Who, who, my Saviour, this hath done?
Who could Thy sacred body wound?
No guilt Thy spotless heart hath known
No guile hath in Thy lips been found

I, I alone have done the deed
'Tis I Thy sacred flesh have torn
My sins have caused Thee, Lord, to bleed
Pointed the nail and fixed the thorn

The burden, for me to sustain
Too great, on Thee, my Lord, was laid
To heal me, Thou hast borne my pain
To bless me, Thou a curse wast made

My Saviour, how shall I proclaim
How pay the mighty debt I owe?
Let all I have, and all I am
Ceaseless to all Thy glory show

Too much to Thee I cannot give
Too much I cannot do for Thee
Let all Thy love, and all Thy grief
Grav'n on my heart for ever be
