Broken and poured out

Royston 1946 (Reading)



The flask had been broken, and the perfume poured
it was a great token, of love for her Lord.
Nothing had been spoken, but so much was said,
by her words unspoken, and the tears that she shed.

His body was broken, and His blood outpoured.
The greatest love token, from Jesus our Lord.
Merciful words spoken, ’Forgive them,’ He said.
as there so heartbroken, His life's blood He shed.
