Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crucifixion: A Narrative of Jesus Last Week on Earth
Cast thyself down in adoring love, Race bowed down by the curse of God! Peace and grace out of Zion above!
He is not wroth forever, Though his wrath be just - though uplifted his rod.
Thus saith he, who changeth never: I will not the death of a sinner - I will forgive Let him live! And he gave up his son the world from sin to free; Praise and thanks we give, Eternal, to thee!
Suddenly there was heard a noise Of singing. A great multitude came pouring down the nar row street that runs past Pilate's house, chant ing as they came, Hail to thee, 0 Son of Da vid! Little children, Old men and maidens ran forward, some raising palm branches, but all ever looking backward to one who should come. More and ever more streamed down the street into the open space in front of the temple, but still the Hosanna song went on.
