Crimson Flow

Crimson flow of Calvary
a fountain opened wide
judgment meets with Charity
and spans the great divide

What means this awful rugged cross
and who is he who’s there
Our answer will be gain or loss
defense or our despair

Spotless Holy sacrifice
the Lamb of God foretold
hanging on the cruel device
for thirty pieces sold

From the depth of woe the cry
a lamentation made
Eli, lama  sabachthani
with His blood my debt was paid
