Sheet music

  1. 1Shall I crucify my Savior,When for me He bore such loss?Shall I put to shame my Savior?Can I nail Him to the cross?Shall I crucify my Savior?Crucify my Lord again?Once, oh once, I crucified Him:Shall I crucify again?
  2. 2Are temptations so alluring?Do earth’s pleasures so enthrallThat I cannot love my SaviorWell enough to leave them all?Shall I crucify my Savior?Crucify my Lord again?Once, oh once, I crucified Him:Shall I crucify again?
  3. 3‘Twas my sins that crucified Him:Shall the crucify Him yet?Blackest day of nameless anguish,Can my thankless soul forget?Shall I crucify my Savior?Crucify my Lord again?Once, oh once, I crucified Him:Shall I crucify again?
  4. 4Oh, the kindly hands of Jesus,Pouring blessings on all men,Bleeding, nail-scarred hands of Jesus!Can I nail them once again?Shall I crucify my Savior?Crucify my Lord again?Once, oh once, I crucified Him:Shall I crucify again?
