The Viel of the Temple

When morning had come, the chief priests and elders,
took council against Jesus, to put him to death,
and when they had bound him, they led him away,
to stand before Pilate, for justice that day.

Then the soldiers of Pilate, took Jesus and led,
him into a hall, thorns placed on his head,
and after they mocked him, his raiment put on,
took him to Golgotha, a place of the skull.

Now from the sixth hour, there was darkness all over,
the ninth hour Christ cried God, why forsakest thou me,
then those who had stood there, said he calls Elias,
would Elias come save him, they wanted to see.

Then Jesus cried out once again, and yielded up the ghost

And behold the veil of the temple, was rent in twain that day,
from top to the bottom, and all the earth did quake,
the veil of the temple, was rent in twain that day,
then Jesus Christ our Saviour, in three days rose again!
