Crucifixion by Ananias Davisson — Lyrics
1. Saw ye my Savior,
Saw ye my Savior,
Saw ye my Savior and God:
O! he died on Calvary,
To atone for you and me,
And to purchase our pardon with blood.

About Crucifixion
Ananias Davisson's Crucifixion is a sacred SATB anthem set to a profound English text exploring the sacrifice of Christ. The lyrics vividly depict the events of the crucifixion, emphasizing Jesus' death on Calvary as an atonement for humanity's sins and the purchase of our pardon with his blood. The music likely reflects the solemnity and emotional weight of the subject matter, offering a powerful musical meditation on redemption. This setting would be a moving addition to services or concerts focused on the Passion of Christ, allowing the choir to convey the deep theological and emotional significance of the crucifixion narrative.
