The Crucifixion.

By L. D. A. S.

Behold upon the shameful cross, The spotless victim dies. Mid cruel foes he yields his breath! A priceless sacrifice.
The pitying sun, withdraws his face, And shades of darkest night, Their black and dismal mantles throw, Upon Mount Calvary's hight.
The flinty rocks are rent in twain! The graves give up their trust; And sleeping saints immortal rise, From out the silent dust.
Inanimate Creation groans, And pitying angels weep! And o'er the Master's lonely tomb, Their sacred vigils keep.
But He will come again to earth, Who once for us was slain, In glorious majesty and power, Forever more to reign.
L. D. A. S.
