Into The Woods My Master Went Into the woods my Master went, Clean for-spent, for-spent. Into the woods my Master came, For-spent with love and shame. But the olives, they were not blind to Him, The little gray leaves were kind to Him: The thorn-tree had a mind to Him When into the woods He came. 1-2 Words by Sidney Lanier / Music by H. M. Hansen
Into The Woods My Master Went Out of the woods my Master went, And was well content, Out of the woods my Master came, Content with death and shame. When Death and Shame would woo Him last, From under the trees they drew Him last: ‘Twas on a tree they slew Him– last When out of the woods He came. Amen. 2-2
