Now Satan to the carnel heart
Of Judas entered in-
He that was called Iscariot,
Who money loved to win.
And he went unto the chief priests,
And bargained to betray
His Master to their evil power
If they would give him pay.
And his base scheme these men were glad
To hear and understand,
And thirty shining silver coins
They weighed into his hand.
And from that time he sought a way
He could, by sign or word,
In absence of the multitude,
Deliver up his Lord.
