Hail, King of the Jews, and crucify Him;<br>But Pilate saith unto them, I find in Him no sin;<br>Then Jesus came forth, looking dejected and wan,<br>And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the Man. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then the Jews cried out, By our laws He ought to die,<br>Because He made Himself the Son of God the Most High;<br>And when Pilate heard that saying the Jews had made,<br>He saw they were dissatisfied, and he was the more afraid. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And to release Jesus Pilate did really intend,<br>But the Jews cried angrily, Pilate, thou art not Caesar's friend,<br>Remember, if thou let this vile impostor go,<br>It only goes to prove thou art Caesar's foe. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">When Pilate heard that he felt very irate,<br>Then he brought Josus forth, and sat down in the judgment-seat,<br>In a place that is called the Pavement,<br>While the Blessed Saviour stood calm and content. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">The presence of His enemies did not Him appal,<br>When Pilate asked of Him, before them all,<br>Whence art Thou, dost say from on High?<br>But Jesus, the Lamb of God, made no reply. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then saith Pilate unto Him, Speakest Thou not unto me,<br>Remember, I have the power to crucify Thee;<br>But Jesus answered, Thou hast no power at all against me,<br>Except from above it were given to thee. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Pilate to the Jews loudly cried,<br>Take Him away to be crucified;<br>Then the soldiers took Jesus and led Him away,<br>And He, bearing His Cross, without dismay. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And they led Him to a place called Golgotha,<br>But the Saviour met His fate without any awe,<br>And there crucified Him with two others, one on either side,<br>And Jesus in the midst, whilst the Jews did Him deride. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Pilate tried to pacify the Jews, they felt so morose,<br>And he wrote a title, and put it on the Cross;<br>And the title he wrote did the Jews amuse,<br>The writing was, Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">This title read many of the Jews without any pity;<br>And the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city;<br>And the title was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin,<br>And while reading the title the Jews did laugh and grin. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">While on the Cross the sun refused to shine,<br>And there was total darkness for a long time;<br>The reason was God wanted to hide His wounds from view,<br>And He kept the blessed sun from breaking through. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And to quench His thirst they gave Him vinegar and hyssop,<br>While the blood from His wounded brow copiously did drop,<br>Then He drank of it willingly, and bowed His head,<br>And in a few minutes the dear Saviour was dead. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Joseph of Arimathea sadly did grieve,<br>And he asked if Pilate would give him leave<br>To take the body of Jesus away,<br>And Pilate told him to remove it without delay. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then Joseph took the body of Jesus away,<br>And wound it in linen, which was the Jewish custom of that day,<br>And embalmed his body with spices sweet,<br>Then laid it in a new sepulchre, as Joseph thought meet. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">But death could not hold Him in the grave,<br>Because He died poor sinners' souls to save;<br>And God His Father took Him to Heaven on high;<br>And those that believe in Jesus shall never die. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Oh! think of the precious Blood our Saviour did loss,<br>That flowed from His wounds while on the Cross,<br>Especially the wound in His side, made with a spear,<br>And if you are a believer, you will drop a silent tear. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And if you are not a believer, try and believe,<br>And don't let the devil any longer you deceive,<br>Because the precious Blood that Jesus shed will free you from all sin,<br>Therefore, believe in the Saviour, and Heaven you shall enter in!</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=William+Topaz+McGonagall">William Topaz McGonagall</a><div class=q>
