Author: Robert Grant, 1779 - 1838 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 445 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to thee Low we bend the adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies, Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; O by all thy pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany! 2 By thy helpless infant years, By thy life of want and tears, By thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's power; Turn, O turn a favoring eye, Hear our solemn litany! A-men. 3 By thine hour of dire despair, By thine agony of prayer; By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, the torturing scorn; By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice; Listen to our humble cry, Hear our solemn litany! 4 By thy deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God; O from earth to heaven restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Listen, listen to the cry Of our solemn litany! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: SPANISH HYMN

What Good News The Angels Bring

Author: William Hammond Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What good news the angels bring, What glad tidings of our king! Christ the Lord is born today, Christ, who takes our sins away! He who rules both Heav’n and earth, Hath in Bethlehem His birth; Him shall all the people see, And rejoice eternally. 2 Lift your hearts and voices high, With hosannas fill the sky; "Glory be to God above," Who is infinite in love! "Peace on earth, good will to men!" Now with us our God is seen; Angels, join with us in praise! Help to sing redeeming grace. 3 Now the wall is broken down, Now the Gospel is made known; Now the door is open wide, Christ for Jew and Gentile died; All who feel the weight of sin, All who languish to be clean; All who for redemption groan, May be saved by faith alone. 4 Jesus is the lovely name: This the angel doth proclaim; He shall all His people save, They in Him remission have; When they see themselves undone, They take refuge in the Son; They shall all be born again, And with Him in glory reign. 5 Shout, ye nations of the earth, Sing the triumphs of His birth; All the world by Him is blest, Sound His praise from east to west; Jews and Gentiles jointly sing, Christ our common Lord and king; Christ, our life, our joy, our song, To eternity prolong!

Come, ye children of the Lord, Let us sing with one accord, Let us raise a joyful strain To our Lord, who soon will reign On this earth, when it shall be Cleansed from all iniquity; When all men from sin will cease, And will live in love and peace. 2. O, how joyful it will be When our Savior we shall see! When in splendor He’ll descend, Then all wickedness shall end. O what songs we then will sing To our Savior, Lord and King! O what love will then bear sway, When our fears shall flee away! 3. All arrayed in spotless white, We will dwell ’mid truth and light. We will sing the songs of praise; We will shout in joyous lays. Earth shall then be cleansed from sin. Every living thing therein Shall in love and beauty dwell; Then with joy each heart will swell. Used With Tune: MADRID

Bound upon the Accursed Tree

Author: Henry Hart Milman, 1791-1868 Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 63 hymnals First Line: Bound upon th'accursed tree Lyrics: 1 Bound upon th'accursed tree, Faint and bleeding, who is He? By the eyes so pale and dim, Streaming blood and writhing limb, By the flesh with scourges torn, By the crown of twisted thorn, By the drooping, death-dewed brow, Son of Man, 'tis Thou! 'tis Thou! 2 Bound upon th'accursed tree, Faint and bleeding, who is He? By the prayer for them that slew, "Lord, they know not what they do!" By the promise, ere He died, To the felon at His side, Lord, our suppliant knees we bow, Son of God, 'tis Thou! 'tis Thou! 3 Bound upon th'accursed tree, Sad and dying, who is He? By the last and bitter cry In the final agony, By the baffled, burning thirst, By the side so deeply pierced, Crucified, we know Thee now, Son of Man, 'tis Thou! 'tis Thou! 4 Bound upon th'accursed tree, Dread and awful, who is He? By the spoiled and empty grave, By the souls He died to save, By the conquest He hath won, By the saints before His throne, By the rainbow round His brow, Son of God, 'tis Thou! 'tis Thou! Amen.
