Engrossed in death My Savior hung This wretched life betrayed ‘tis love in festive hearts some say Is by the hanging tree I swung
In skin the piercing nails did cling With the spear through and through To unknown reasons my gladness grew While up above the branches swing Then from the cross They lowered Him To lie at Satan’s throne And in my voice A dying groan As my life’s stretched Beneath the limb
To Hades' doom my Savior's free He rose to Satan’s loss And Jesus gave to me His cross As He lifts me from my hanging tree Selah
