Music by Simeon B. Marsh, words by st. 1-3, Unknown; st. 4, Alfred P. Gibbs
Nailed upon Golgotha's tree,
Faint and bleeding: who is He?
Hands and feet so rudely torn,
Wreathed with crown of twisted thorn.
Once He lived in heaven above,
Happy in His Father's love,
Son of God, 'tis He, 'tis He,
On the cross at Calvary.
Nailed upon Golgotha's tree,
Mocked and taunted: who is He?
Scorners tell Him to come down,
Claim His kingdom and His crown.
He it was who came to bless,
Full of love and tenderness.
Son of Man, 'tis He, 'tis He,
On the cross at Calvary.
Nailed upon Golgotha's tree,
As a victim: who is He?
Bearing sin, but not His own,
Suffering agony unknown.
He, the promised sacrifice,
For our sins has paid the price.
Lamb of God, 'tis He, 'tis He,
On the cross at Calvary.
Throned in glorious majesty,
Lord triumphant: who is He?
He's the same who came to die,
Now in heaven, exalted high;
With adoring hearts we now
At His blessed feet would bow.
Lord of all, 'tis He, 'tis He,
Throned in glorious majesty!
