THE GOOD FRIDAY

       Into a sinful world came a Pius man
       For our sins to die
       Salvation to mankind he brought
       And our sins he washed away

       For the sins of the world
       Said he, here I am send me
       For the love of mankind
       The father sent down his only son

       In the form of man came he
       Amongst sinners he dwelled
       In the house of the unclean,he dinned
       To the dead, he gave life

       What is man that he should care?
       Yet man betrayed the son of God
       For thirty silver pieces was he sold
       His fate lay in the hands of men

       Crucify him! Crucify him!
       They screamed
       On his head was laid a crown of thorns
       On his shoulder, our burdens

       Chastized for our sins
       Mocked and humiliated for us
       Nailed to a cross for our sake
       He breathed his last and
       Paid the ultimate price
