And the dyin' thief looked Death in the face.
Caught sight of the object side of the horse,
He saw a new name written there,
He read the name, and the name read like this—
"Death and Hell jolloweth him"
I heard the dying thief say,
"Lord, O Lord! Lord, O Lord!
When thou come to thy father's kingdom,
I fray remember me.
Oh, motherless child,
Hangin' on the cross,
Any I want you to remember me"
Jesus, my dear friends—
The dying thief had so much confidence in Him—
Jesus, hung just like He was,
Jesus, daggered in the side,
Blood dripping, great God! —
Jesus caught ahold of the bridle, my dear friends,
Caught it by the bridle,
And the old horse began to paw,
Oh-h-h, Elijah didn't catch ahold of him, when he was comin',
Oh4i-h, Job didn't catch ahold of him when he was comin',
Oh-h-h, Great Godamighty!
Moses, the great lawgiver, didn't catch ahold of him,
But over yondery the incarnate Son of God
Caught the horse by the bridle and held him still.
Jesus begin to speak,
Yes! says to the dyin' thief,
"Pay no attention to death."
Says to the dyin' thief,
"This day your spirit will be with me in he&ven"
Says, "Oh, yes, this day it will be with me. . . ."

God met the Devil when He seen him comin'. We began to wonder where he was goin' (You needn't wonder, but just keep still, He'll let you know what He's comin' for) 5
