Jesus, Grant that Balm and Healing

Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #121 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, grant that balm and healing In your holy wounds I find, Ev'ry hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind. Should some evil thought within Tempt my treach'rous heart to sin, Show the peril, and from sinning Keep me from its first beginning. 2 Should some lust or sharp temptation Fascinate my sinful mind, Let me think about your passion, And new courage I shall find. Or should Satan press me hard, Let me then be on my guard, Saying, "Christ for me was wounded," That the tempter flee confounded. 3 If the world my heart entices With the broad and easy road, With seductive, sinful vices, Let me think about the load You were willing to endure; Then I'll flee all thoughts impure, Mastering each wild temptation, Calm in prayer and meditation. 4 Ev'ry wound that pains or grieves me By your wounds, Lord, is made whole; When I'm weak, your cross revives me, Granting new life to my soul. Yes, your comfort renders sweet Ev'ry bitter cup I meet; For your all-atoning passion Has procured my soul's salvation. 5 O my God, my Rock and Tower, Grant that in your death I trust, Knowing death has lost his power Since you crushed him in the dust. Savior, let your agony Ever help and comfort me; When I die be my protection, Light and life and resurrection. Topics: Lent; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: DER AM KREUZ

Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; John M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #122 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; Sing the ending of the fray. Now above the cross, the trophy, Sound the loud triumphant lay. Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, As a victim won the day. 2 Tell how, when at length the fullness Of th' appointed time was come, He, the Word, was born of woman, Left for us his Father's home, Blazed the path of true obedience, Shone as light amidst the gloom. 3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished, He went forth from Nazareth, Destined, dedicated, willing, Did his work and met his death; Like a lamb he humbly yielded On the cross his dying breath. 4 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph, Be for all the noblest tree; None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit your equal be, Symbol of the world's redemption, For your burden makes us free. 5 Unto God be praise and glory; To the Father and the Son, To th' eternal Spirit honor Now and evermore be done -- Praise and glory in the highest While the timeless ages run.

Savior, When in Dust to You

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #124 (1993) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to you Low we bow in homage due, When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; Oh, by all your pains and woe Suffered once for us below, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry! 2 By your helpless infant years, By your life of want and tears, By your days of deep distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread, mysterious hour Of th' insulting tempter's pow'r, Turn, oh, turn a fav'ring eye, Hear our penitential cry! 3 By your hour of dire despair, By your agony of prayer, By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn, By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice, Listen to our humble sigh, Hear our penitential cry! 4 By your deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God, Oh, from earth to heav'n restored, Mighty, reascended Lord, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry!

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #125 (1993) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ, my God. All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #127 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ, by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he. 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning, Was there ever grief like his? Friends through fear his cause disowning, Foes insulting his distress, Many hands were raised to wound him, None would intervene to save, But the deepest stroke that pierced him Was the stroke that justice gave. 3 If you think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great, Here you see its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed; See who bears the awful load -- 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the rock of our salvation, His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice to cancel guilt -- None shall ever be confounded Who on him their hope have built.

Not All the Blood of Beasts

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #128 (1993) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts On Israel's altars slain Could give the guilty conscience peace Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heav'nly Lamb, Takes all our sins away, A sacrifice of nobler name And richer blood than they. 3 In faith I place my hand On that dear head divine, As penitently here I stand And lay on him my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden you did bear When hanging on the cursed tree-- I know my guilt was there! 5 Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice And sing his bleeding love.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #129 (1993) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut its glories in When God, the mighty Maker, died For his own creatures' sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away -- 'Tis all that I can do.

Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

Author: Jeanette Threlfall, 1821-80 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #130 (1993) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna, The little children sang; Through pillared court and temple The lovely anthem rang. To Jesus, who had blessed them, Close folded to his breast, The children sang their praises, The simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed Mid an exultant crowd, The victor palm branch waving And chanting clear and loud. The Lord of saints and angels Rode on in lowly state Nor scorned that little children Should on his bidding wait. 3 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing, For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n, our King. Oh, may we ever praise him With heart and life and voice And in his royal presence Eternally rejoice.
