When Jesus Christ had lived Full thirty years or more, He work-ed many wondrous works With His twelve apostles pure. 2. He delivered up the twelve A sacrament to take He shewed Simon an Hebrew house A Testament to make. 3. Then Judas with the Jews Our Saviour did betray And unto him for thirty pence Jesus was sold away. 4. Then Judas he came, in With a troop of arm-ed men, And bound his Master fast in bonds, In whom there was no sin. 5. And for His garments brave The soldiers did cast dice, Which was a garment without seam And a jewel of great price. 6. They led Him on straightway Unto His judgment place; Without God's leave He was condemned To die in vile disgrace. 7. Between two ruffian rogues They nailed our Saviour up They left His body there to bleed In torment's bitter cup. 8. They nailed His hands and feet, And crowned His head with thorns, And gave Him vinegar to drink With many reproachful scorns. 9. Now all things seemed to mourn When our blessed Saviour died The hills and rocks did rend, The mountains did divide. 10. The heavens themselves grew very dark, The moon forsook her light And for three hours in the day It was a dismal sight. 11. The earth did tremble and quake, And graves did open wide Dead men's ghosts walked up and down In a frightful manner beside. 12. At any Christmas time, Amongst good Christians all, This Christmas carol may be sung In any house or hail. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
