| The whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. (Ex. 12:6) |
| Likewise also the chief priests mocking said among themselves with the scribes, He saved others; Himself He cannot save. Let Christ the King of Israel descend now from the cross, that we may see and believe. And they that were crucified with Him reviled Him. (Mark 15:31‑32) |
The cross! The cross! Oh, that’s our gain,
Because on that the Lamb was slain:
’Twas there the Lord was crucified;
’Twas there for us the Savior died. |
The cause was love — we sink with shame
Before our blessed Jesus’ name,
That He should bleed and suffer thus,
Because He loved and pitied us. |
