By Henrietta Atkin. Composed by African-American Spiritual. Arranged by Henrietta Atkin. Christian,Easter,Religious,Spiritual. Score. 3 pages. Henrietta Atkin #964026. Published by Henrietta Atkin (A0.1379344).Depicting the last moments of Jesus on the cross, this classic African-American spiritual is often sung on Good Friday.
The lyrics describe the agony of Jesus, and also bring to mind the scripture of the suffering servant: ""Like a sheep being led to the slaughter or a lamb that is silent before her shearers, he did not open his mouth" (Isaiah 53:7). His silence is praised because there was no "deceit in his mouth" (Isaiah 53:9).
The piano arrangement highlights the phrase "Not a word" in three iterations. This meditative, powerful, poignant setting is suitable for a Good Friday liturgy, such as services based on the Seven Last Words of Christ, or the mass for Good Friday.
