Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing

Author: Walter Shirley, 1725-86 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #111 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend, Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner's dying friend. 2 Here we rest in wonder, viewing All our sins on Jesus laid; Here we see redemption flowing From the sacrifice he made. 3 Here we find the dawn of heaven While upon the cross we gaze, See our trespasses forgiven, And our songs of triumph raise. 4 Oh, that, near the cross abiding, We may to the Savior cleave, Naught with him our hearts dividing, All for him content to leave! 5 Lord, in loving contemplation Fix our hearts and eyes on you Till we taste your full salvation And your unveiled glory view.

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #112 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Immanuel was slain And sinners who are washed therein Lose ev'ry guilty stain, Lose ev'ry guilty stain. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, your precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved and sin no more, Be saved and sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Your flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die, And shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue Lies silent in the grave, Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing your pow'r to save, I'll sing your pow'r to save.

Upon the Cross Extended

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #113 (1993) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended, See, world, your Lord suspended; Your Savior yields his breath. The Prince of life from heaven Himself has freely given To shame and blows and bitter death. 2 How God at our transgression To anger gives expression, How loud his thunders roll, How fearfully he smites him, How sorely he requites him -- All this your suff'rings teach my soul. 3 'Tis I who should be smitten, My doom should here be written: Bound hand and foot in hell. The fetters and the scourging, The floods around you surging, 'Tis I who have deserved them well. 4 A crown of thorns you're wearing, My shame and scorn you're bearing That I might ransomed be. My bondsman, ever willing, My place with patience filling, From sin and guilt has made me free. 5 Your cords of love, my Savior, Bind me to you forever; I am no longer mine. To you I gladly tender All that my life can render And all I have to you resign. Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Christ, the Life of All the Living

Author: Ernst C. Homburg, 1605-81; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #114 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Life of all the living, Christ, the Death of death, our foe, Who, thyself for me once giving To the darkest depths of woe -- Through thy suff'rings, death, and merit I eternal life inherit. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 2 Thou, ah, thou hast taken on thee Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon thee, O thou sinless Son of God! Thus didst thou my soul deliver From the bonds of sin forever. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 3 Thou hast borne the smiting only That my wounds might all be whole; Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely, Rest to give my weary soul; Yea, the curse of God enduring, Blessing unto me securing. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 4 Heartless scoffers did surround thee, Treating thee with cruel scorn, And with piercing thorns they crowned thee. All disgrace thou, Lord, hast borne That as thine thou mightest own me And with heav'nly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise thee That from pain I might be free; Falsely did thy foes accuse thee -- Thence I gain security. Comfortless thy soul did languish Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 6 Thou has suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me. Thou didst choose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto thee. 7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For thy sorrows deep and sore, For thine anguish in the garden, I will thank thee evermore, Thank thee for thy groaning, sighing, For thy bleeding and thy dying, For that last triumphant cry And shall praise thee, Lord, on high.

He Stood before the Court

Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1838 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #115 (1993) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 He stood before the court On trial instead of us; He met its pow'r to hurt, Condemned to face the cross -- Our King, accused of treachery; Our God, abused for blasphemy! 2 These are the crimes that tell The tale of human guilt; Our sins, our death, our hell -- On these the case is built. To this world's pow'rs the Lord stays dumb. The guilt is ours, no answers come. 3 The sentence must be passed, The unknown pris'ner killed; The price is paid at last, The law of God fulfilled. He takes our blame, and from that day Th' accuser's claim is wiped away. 4 Shall we be judged and tried? In Christ our trial is done; We live, for he has died, Our condemnation gone. In Christ are we both dead and raised, Alive and free -- his name be praised! Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: MARLEE

In the Hour of Trial

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #116 (1993) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me Lest by base denial I unworthy be. When you see me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Ever let me fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Should this vain world charm Or its tempting treasures Spread to work me harm, Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 Should your mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe, Or should pain attend me On my path below, Grant that I may never Fail your cross to view; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on you. 4 When my life is ending, Though in grief or pain, When my body changes Back to dust again, On your truth relying, Through that mortal strife, Jesus, take me, dying, To eternal life.

O Dearest Jesus

Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #117 (1993) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: O dearest Jesus, what law have your broken Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken That such sharp sentence should on you be spoken? Of what great crime have you to make confession-- What dark transgression? 2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you; With cruel mockings to the cross they urge you; They give you gall to drink, they still decry you; They crucify you. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; Yes, all the wrath, the woe that you inherit, This I do merit. 4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder! The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; The Master pays the debt his servants owe him, Who would not know him. 5 [Copyrighted] 6 I'll think upon your mercy without ceasing, That earth's vain joys to me no more be pleasing; To do your will shall be my sole endeavor Henceforth forever. 7 And when, dear Lord, before your throne in heaven To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns your saints forever raise you, I too shall praise you.

What Wondrous Love Is This

What wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this That caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, To bear the dreadful curse for my soul! 2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down, sinking down, When I was sinking down Beneath God's righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown For my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul. 3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing; To God and to the Lamb I will sing; To God and to the Lamb, Who is the great I Am, While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, While millions join the theme, I will sing. 4 And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, I'll sing on; And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on. And when from death I'm free, I'll sing his love for me, And through eternity I'll sing on, I'll sing on, And through eternity I'll sing on.
