My God, My God, Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me

Verse 1

Forsaken of God on Calvary The Saviour Christ hung dying, That I might ne'er forsaken be, While on His death relying: Yea, for the sake of His lone cry, With ready ear the Lord Most High Will aye regard my crying.

Verse 2

When from earth's light I pass away, Sight, hearing, sense declining, Father, recall Thy Son's dismay, For Thy felt presence pining; And by that cry from Calvary's tree Thy countenance uplift on me, With gracious welcome shining.
