Our Singing Country Good God, the dying thief on the cross Saw the moon going down in blood. Saw it go down and bleed away. I seen the little stars, great God, that was there 5 They remembered Jesus when he struck on the anvil of time 5 And the little stars recognized their Maker dying,on the cross j Each little star leafed out of its silver orbit To make the torches of a dark and unbenointed world. It got so dark until the men who was puttin' Jesus to death,
They said they could feel the darkness with their fingers.
Great Godamighty! they was close to one another,
And it was so dark they could feel one another,
And feel one another talk, but they couldn't see one another.
I heard one of the centurions say,
"Sholy} sholy} this must be the son of God."
'Bout that time we seen, my dear friends—
The prophet Isaiah said the dead in the graves would hear His voice and
come forward— We seen the dead getting up out ot their graves on the east side of
Jerusalem, Getting out of their graves, Walking about, Going down in town, Oh-h-h, way over on Nebo's mounting! I seen the great lawgiver
Get up out of his grave and begin to walk about, my dear friends, Walk about, because Jesus said it was finished.
I shouldn't wonder, my dear friends,
That the church will save you when you get in trouble.
I heard the church so many times singing when you get in trouble,
The church would sing, How can I die while Jesus lives? *
I seen the horse come steppin' on Calvary's bloody brow,
Pawing, my dear friends, with thunder in his train,
And the lightnin' was playing on the bridle reins which Death had in his
hands. He come ridin'! He come riditfl
Here the pastor sings a hymn beginning with these seven words, and the men join in.
