Now is the time for evil power,
Now is the dark hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tied to a stake, victim of king\u2019s spite,
But before God stands in right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He opens his mouth, and tells all
Of his accusers\u2019 coming fall,
And that he will rather die
Than confirm a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mary\u2019s church he faces;
She lifts him from these disgraces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She did like in ancient time,
As told in sacred rhyme,
When at Rood\u2019s stem, she in meek
Grief gave comfort to her Son when He was weak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
