| Lest they miss the sight to come | D |
| - | |
| Oh the poor malefactor heavy is His load | E |
| Now He falls beneath it and they goad Him on | F |
| Sure the road to Calvary's a steep up hill road | E |
| Is there none to help Him with His Cross not one | G |
| Must He bear it all alone | H |
| - | |
| Here is a country boy with business in the city | I |
| Smelling of the cattle's breath and the sweet hay | J |
| Now they bid him lift the Cross so they have some pity | I |

| Has He no friends then no father nor mother | K |
| None to wipe the sweat away nor pity His fate | L |

| Child it is well the seducer expiate | L |
| His crimes that are so great | L |
| - | |
| Mother did I dream He once bent above me | I |
| This poor seducer with the thorn crowned head | M |
| His hands on my hair and His eyes seemed to love me | I |
| Suffer little children to come to Me He said | M |
| His hair his brows drip red | M |
| - | |
| Hurrying through Jerusalem on business or pleasure | K |
| People hardly pause to see Him go to His death | N |
| Whom they held five days ago more than a King's treasure | K |
| Shouting Hosannas flinging many a wreath | O |
| For this Jesus of Nazareth | P |
