Christian's Hymn of The Crucifixion-William Eleazar Barton (1898)
O, repent sinner! (Ham-mer ring)
O, repent sinner! (Ham-mer ring)
What did the hammer say? (Ham-mer ring)
I nailed him down, (Ham-mer ring)
With ten-penny nails (Ham-mer ring)
Send for the doctor (Ham-mer ring)
oh Jesus (Ham-mer ring)
King Jesus (Ham-mer ring)
They stabbed Him high (Ham-mer ring)
He bled and groaned (Ham-mer ring)
I heard *Him say, (Ham-mer ring)
You hang me high (Ham-mer ring)
For all to see (Ham-mer ring)
Don't weep for me (Ham-mer ring)
You hang me wide (Ham-mer ring)
How free I died (Ham-mer ring)
I go away (Ham-mer ring)
I'll come again (Ham-mer ring)
With a band of angels (Ham-mer ring)
2—Mary wept (Ham-mer-ring)
And Martha mourned. (Ham-mer ring)
If thou'd been here. (Ham-mer-ring)
My brother hadn't died. (Ham-mer- ring)
They buried him, (Ham-mer-ring)
And on the third day (Ham-mer-ring)
He ascended high, (Ham-mer-ring)
To his Father's house. (Ham-mer- ring)
Jesus came, (Ham-mer-ring)
His friend he rise, (Ham-mer-ring)
And found a home (Ham-mer-ring)
Above the skies. (Ham-mer-ring)
O, Lazarus, (Ham-mer-ring)
I know Lazarus! (Ham-mer-ring)
Come forth, Lazarus! (Ham-mer-ring)
Want you to loose him (Ham-mer- ring)
And let him go? (Ham-mer-ring.)
