I thought on the Lamb of God
And thought on the Lamb of God.
Two stark crosses between.
The lambs were weary, and crying
Rest for the Lamb of God
Rest for the little feet.
Pass'd me by on the road;
I saw the sheep with their lambs,
Up in the blue, blue mountains
April airs were abroad;
The sheep with their little lambs
All in an April evening
April airs were abroad;
Rest for the little bodies,
I thought on the Lamb of God.
All in the April morning,
Dewy pastures are sweet:
The sheep with their little lambs
With a weak human cry;
Up on the hill-top green;
Pass'd me by on the road.
All in the April evening,
Only a cross of shame
Going meekly to die.
