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.

Out of the woods my Master went,
And He 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.
