One man sings The Crucifixion - Processional to Calvary - John Stainer

One man sings 'Processional to Calvary' from Stainer's The Crucifixion.

Lyrics:

People
Fling wide the gates,
For the Saviour waits to tread in His royal way
He has come from above in His power and love, to die on this Passion day.

Fling wide the gates!
The Saviour waits!

Fling wide the gates!
The Saviour waits to tread in His royal way

His cross is the sign of the love divine
His crown is the thorn-wreath of woe
He lays is load on the sorrowful road
And bends 'neath the burden throne.

Fling wide the gates!
He waits! The Saviour waits!

Fling wide the gates, for the Saviour waits to tread in His royal way.
He has come from above in His power and love, to die on this Passion day –

To die on this Passion day.

Narrator
How sweet is the grace of his sacred face?
And lovely beyond compare?

Though weary and worn
With the merciless scorn
Of a world He has come to spare.

The burden of wrong
That earth bears along,
Past evil and evil to be.

All Sins of Man,
Since the world began,
They are laid –
Dear Lord –
On Thee.

People
Then on to the end,
My God and my Friend,
With Thy Banner lifted high!

Thou art come from above
In thy power and love,
To endure and suffer and die.

Fling wide the gates!
He waits! The Saviour waits!

Then on to the end,
My God and my Friend,
To suffer, endure, and die.

To suffer, endure, and die.
