LyicsAs on the cross the Saviour hung,
And groan'd, and bled and died,
He look'd with pity on a wretch
That languish'd by his side.
The dying thief in Jesus saw
A majesty divine,
While scoffing Jews around him stood,
And ask'd him for a sign.
"The kingdom Lord, is thine," he said:
" Tis thine o'er men to reign:
Thy wondrous works thy Lordship prove:
These pains thy love proclaim."
