Using a well-known folk tune, Craig Curry’s Lenten anthem is heart-rending and beautiful. The blending of the lyrical melody with a new compelling text and arrangement results in an anthem which will be a forceful addition to any Lenten service. Includes part for optional Flute.
An accompaniment CD is available here.
On the night which He was betrayed
In the night our Savior prayed
"My Father, I will drink this cup
So Your name be lifted up."
On the night which He was betrayed
Judas came with soldiers afraid
He kissed his Lord and called Him friend.
Thus began such wounds without end.
On the night which He was betrayed
No reply, no sound He made
He suffered much abuse and scorn
He was forced to wear a crown of thorns.
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia to the King!
On the day our Savior died
Temple's veil was opened wide
My ev'ry sin on Him was laid
On the night which He was betrayed.
