With Him they crucify two thieves; the one on His right hand, and the other on His left. (Mark 15:27) |
One of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him. But the other answering rebuked him. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom. (Luke 23:39‑40,42) |
The dying thief beheld that Lamb Expiring by His side, And proved the value of the name Of Jesus crucified. |
His soul, by virtue of the blood, To paradise received, Redemption’s earliest trophy stood, From sin and death retrieved. |
