Note that the book from which this song was taken is currently out of print.

Would Jesus have the sinner die?
Why hangs he on yonder tree?
What means that strange expiring cry?
Sinner, he prays for you and me.

Forgive them, Father, Oh, forgive
They know not that by me they live,
They know not that by me they live.
