Hymn - What was the weather like that day

What was the weather like that day?
Cold, wet and overcast with rain,
or bright and warm with sun and clouds?
What formed the back cloth to this pain?
What motivated those who came,
to watch this scene, to play this game?
There is so much we do not know,
save tortured death within this frame.

Verses 2-3 follow
Tune: YE BANKS AND BRAES
DLM
