Throned Upon The Awful Tree

[Verso 1] D G Em Gm D Gm Throned upon the awful tree, D Gm D Eb Gm D Gm King of grief, I watch with thee. Cm Gm D Darkness veils thine anguished face: Gm Cm Gm D none its lines of woe can trace: Gm D Am Gm D Gm none can tell what pangs unknown D Gm D Eb D Gm hold thee silent and alone. [Verso 2] D G Em Gm D Gm Silent through those three dread hours, D Gm D Eb Gm D Gm wrestling with the evil pow'rs, Cm Gm D left alone with hu-man sin, Gm Cm Gm D gloom around thee and with - in, Gm D Am Gm D Gm till th'appointed time is nigh, D Gm D Eb D Gm till the Lamb of God may die. [Verso 3] D G Em Gm D Gm Hark, that cry that peals aloud D Gm D Eb Gm D Gm upward through the whelming cloud! Cm Gm D Thou, the Father's on-ly Son, Gm Cm Gm D thou, his own Anointed On-e, Gm D Am Gm D Gm thou dost ask him - can it be? - D Gm D Eb D Gm "Why hast thou forsaken me?" [Verso 4] D G Em Gm D Gm Lord, should fear and anguish roll D Gm D Eb Gm D Gm darkly o'er my sinful soul, Cm Gm D thou, who once wast thus be-reft Gm Cm Gm D that thine own might neer be le-ft, Gm D Am Gm D Gm teach me by that bitter cry D Gm D Eb D Gm in the gloom to know thee nigh.
