On the road to JerichoA
Mark the stricken oneB
Moaning in his agonyC
Prone beneath the sunB
Prone beneath the blazing sunB
Naked and aloneD
Bleeding from a score of woundsE
Stricken to the boneD
Now his tossing arms lie stillF
Now his moans grow faintG
Is there none to succor himH
Publican or saintG
Publican or PhariseeE
Are none passing byI
On the road to JerichoA
Is he left to dieI
-
On the road to JerichoA
Hurry hurry priestJ
'Twere a sin wert thou awayK
From the saintly feastJ
Haste thee Levite tarry notL
At the Temple waitsE
Holy work for thee to doM
Haste thee to the gatesE
God will guard the stricken oneB
Leave it all to HimH
Now the blood dries on his woudsE
Now his eyes grow dimH
Yet ah tell it Save the shameN
Save the name of ManO
On the road to JerichoA
One SamaritanB
-
On the road to JerichoA
'Voices call 'Make wayK
See the Bishop's carriage comesE
He's in haste to dayK
He's in haste to tend a PrinceE
Let the good man throughM
He is lordly he is richP
Not like me or youM
He'll 'consider' your appealQ
He's no time to waste '-
O despised SamaritanB
Haste thee hither hasteR
Priest and Levite pass alongS
Bishops go their waysE
On the road to JerichoA
As in olden daysE
