Song Book

SILENT and still I stand
Before that weeping tree
Whereon the Son of Man
Pours out his life for me.
O sin of man! O love of God!
O cleansing, efficacious flood!

2 The Saviour asks no tears,
Weep not for me, he cries;
Yet all our broken years
Are mirrored in his eyes.
And all our griefs, including mine,
Go surging through that heart divine.

3 Fain would I hide mine eyes
From love so torn with pain;
Yet all within me cries
To look, and look again;
I cannot pierce the mystery,
But this I know: he dies for me.

4 For me, and once for all,
Our Saviour willing dies,
As mercy?s tender call
Rings out upon the skies;
O man upon that weeping tree,
In penitence we come to thee!
