THE
LEGEND OF THE
|
|
ROBIN'S RED BREAST |
| |
|
Oh have you
heard the story, |
|
it happened long
ago |
|
When Christ our
blessed Savior, |
|
was here on
earth below |
| |
|
An echo
thru the ages, |
|
from
distant Calvary |
|
I'll tell
it to you simply, |
|
as it was
told to me. |
| |
|
Chorus: |
|
It
breathes the blessed teaching, |
|
of
God's own holy word |
|
A
lesson taught in meekness, |
|
by a
lowly little bird. |
|
|
|
When
Jesus hung in sorrow, |
|
|
|
our debt of
shame to pay |
|
No one was there
to comfort, |
|
or wipe
His tears away. |
|
|
|
A little
bird flew near Him, |
|
in sober
coat of brown |
|
And gazed
in tender pity, |
|
then
slowly fluttered down. |
|
|
|
With
gentle wings it fanned Him, |
|
to cool
His aching head |
|
And
hovered near His bosom, |
|
all
stained with deepest red. |
|
|
|
At last
when all was ended, |
|
as if to
mourn His loss |
|
It rose
with blood stained feathers, |
|
and
circled 'round the cross. |
|
|
|
It flew
away in sadness and, |
|
till this
day 'tis said |
|
It wears
upon it's bosom, |
|
that stain
of crimson red |
|
|
|
When
I shall cross the valley, |
|
and
go to seek my rest |
|
May
I wear like the robin, |
|
God's sign upon my breast. |
| |
|
It
breathes the blessed teaching, |
|
of
God's own holy word |
|
A
lesson taught in meekness, |
|
by a
lowly little bird. |
