A golden cross on cardinal red, This is the day of our holy dead, A crown of thorns upon his head, Our Saviour Christ has died.
A golden cross on cardinal red, Beneath his feet his mother shed, Tears of anguish, looks of dread, For her son was crucified.
A golden cross on cardinal red, What was the final words he said, ‘Forgive them all’ his arms outspread, ‘Forgive them all’ he cried.
A golden cross on cardinal red, Two thousand years in time has sped, Since He gave hope, now hope has fled, And his love is still denied
