1 When Christ the Son of God was slain,
Upon that awful day,
The temple’s veil was rent in twain,
The sunlight fled away.

Refrain:
The debt He paid for you and me
The cross He meekly bore;
But now from pain and sorrow free,
He reigns forevermore.

2 With thorns upon His bleeding brow,
He goes to Calvary,
To death His humble soul did bow
To set the captives free. [Refrain]

3 The earth did quake, the saints arose
Who slept beneath the sod;
The Roman captain cried aloud,
"This was the Son of God. [Refrain]
