Author: Carrie E. Breck, 1855-1934 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #558 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Refrain First Line: Shall I crucify my Saviour? Lyrics: 1 Shall I crucify my Saviour,
When for me He bore such loss?
Shall I put to shame my Savior?
Can I nail Him to the cross?
Chorus:
Shall I crucify my Savior?
Crucify my Lord again?
Once! oh, once! I crucified Him!
Shall I crucify again?
2 Are temptations so alluring?
Do earth pleasures so enthrall?
That I cannot love my Savior
Well enough to leave them all? [Chorus]
3 'T was my sins that crucified Him,
Shall they crucify Him yet?
Blackest day of nameless anguish,
Can my thankless soul forget? [Chorus]
4 Oh, the kindly hands of Jesus,
Pouring blessings on all men!
Bleeding nail-scarred hands of Jesus!
Can I nail them once again? [Chorus] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Warning Message Backsliding, Apostasy Scripture: Hebrews 6:6 Languages: English Tune Title: SHALL I CRUCIFY HIM
