"I'll pour it all over the feet of the Lord and I'll wipe it away with my hair," she said, "wipe it away with my hair." 2 "Oh Mary, Oh Mary, oh think of the poor -- this ointment, it could have been sold, and think of the blankets and think of the bread you could buy with the silver and gold," he said, "buy with the silver and gold." 3 "Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll think of the poor Tomorrow," she said, "not today; for dearer than all of the poor in the world is my love who is going away," she said, "my love who is going away." 4 Said Jesus to Mary, "Your love is so deep today you may do as you will. Tomorrow you say I am going away, but my body I leave with you still," he said, "my body I leave with you still." 5 "The poor of the world are my body,' he said, "to the end of the world they shall be, the bread and the blankets you give to the poor you'll know you have given to me," he said, "you'll know you have given to me." 6 "My body will hang on the cross of the world tomorrow," he said, "not today, and Martha and Mary will find me again and wash all the sorrow away," he said, "wash all the sorrow away."

Bitter Was the Night

Author: Sydney Carter Meter: 5.8.5.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bitter was the night, thought the cock would crow for ever. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 2 Saw you passing by, told them all I didn't know you. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 3 Told them all a lie, and I told it three times over. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 4 What did Judas do? Sold him for a bag of silver. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 5 What did Judas do? Hanged himself upon an alder. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 6 Bitter was the night, thought there'd never be a morning. Bitter was the night before the break of day. 7 Bitter was the night, thought the cock would crow for ever. Bitter was the night before the break of day.
