Author: J. W. F. Hymnal: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship #134 (1938) First Line: Look back dear friends to Calvary Refrain First Line: Could you have stood serenely by Lyrics: 1 Look back dear friends to Calvary, And Jesus there in anguish see Tho' tears, your vision may becloud, Behold the dying Son of God. Refrain: Could ye have stood serenely by, And heard His agonizing cry: My God, my God, they heard Him say Oh, "Why hast Thou forsaken me." 2 Suspended on the cruel tree, To suffer untold misery, While in distress He loudly cried, It seemed that God had turned aside. [Refrain] 3 The noon-day sun refused to shine, And darkness hovered o'er the land; Still Jesus moaned in deep dispair, His pain was more than He could bear. [Refrain] 4 At last His Spirit took it's flight, The darkness faded into light; The Savior slowly dropped His head, Alas the Son of God was dead.
