Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-; Johann Heermann Hymnal: LHTC1918 #100 (1917) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee. ’Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinnèd, and the Son hath suffered; For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thine Incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish and thy bitter Passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee, Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LHTC1918 #101 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred Head For such a worm 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 his glories in When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear Cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine 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. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

Behold the Lamb of God!

Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: LHTC1918 #102 (1917) Meter: 6.6.6.4.8.8.4 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Lamb of God! O Thou for sinners slain Let it not be in vain That Thou hast died. Thee for my Saviour let me take, My only refuge let me make Thy piercèd side. 2 Behold the Lamb of God! Into the sacred flood Of Thy most precious Blood My soul I cast; Wash me and make me clean within, And keep me pure from every sin, Till all be past. 3 Behold the Lamb of God! All hail, incarnate Word! Thou everlasting Lord, Saviour most blest! Fill us with love that never faints, Grant us, with all Thy blessèd saints, Eternal rest. 4 Behold the Lamb of God! Worthy is He alone To sit upon the throne Of God above, One with the Ancient of all days, One with the Comforter in praise, All Light, all Love! Amen.

O perfect life of love!

Author: Henry Williams Baker Hymnal: LHTC1918 #103 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love! All, all is finished now; All that He left His throne above To do for us below. 2 No work is left undone Of all the Father willed; His toils, His sorrows, one by one, The Scripture have fulfilled. 3 No pain that we can share But He has felt its smart: All forms of human grief and care Have pierced that tender heart. 4 In perfect love He dies; For me He dies, for me: O all-atoning Sacrifice, I cling by faith to Thee. 5 Work then, O Lord, in me, As Thou for me hast wrought; And let my love the answer be To grace Thy love has brought. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON

Throned upon the awful tree

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #104 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, King of grief, I watch with Thee; Darkness veils Thine anguished face, None its lines of woe can trace, None can tell what pangs unknown Hold Thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around Thee and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father’s Only Son, Thou, His own Anointed One. Thou dost ask Him--can it be? “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Darkly o’er my sinful soul, Thou, who once wast thus bereft That Thine own might ne’er be left-- Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know Thee nigh. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: LA TROBE

O come and mourn with me awhile

Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: LHTC1918 #105 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O come and mourn with me awhile; O come ye to the Saviour's side; O come, together let us mourn; Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. 2 Have we no tears to shed for Him, While soldiers scoff and foes deride? Ah! look how patiently He hangs; Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. 3 O love of God! O sin of man! In this dread act your strength is tried; And victory remains with love; For He, our Lord, is crucified! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS

Let us partake Thy death, that we May enter into Life with Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Eve Languages: English Tune Title: CONSTANCE

Rest of the weary! Thou

Author: Salomo Franck; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #107 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Rest of the weary! Thou Thyself art resting now, Where lowly in Thy sepulchre Thou liest; From out her deathly sleep My soul doth start, to weep So sad a wonder, that Thou, Saviour, diest! 2 Thy bitter anguish o'er, To this dark tomb they bore Thee, Life of life--Thee, Lord of all creation! The hollow rocky cave Must serve Thee for a grave, Who wast Thyself the Rock of our salvation. 3 O Prince of Life! I know That when I too lie low, Thou wilt at last my soul from death awaken; And thus I will not shrink From the grave's awful brink; The heart that trusts in Thee shall ne'er be shaken. 4 My Jesus, day by day, Help me to watch and pray, Beside the tomb where in my heart Thou'rt laid. Thy bitter death shall be My constant memory, My guide at last into Death's awful shade. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Eve Languages: English Tune Title: EASTER EVE

Come ye faithful, raise the strain

Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: LHTC1918 #108 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness; 'Tis the spring of souls today: Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death As a sun hath risen. 2 All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom we give Laud and praise undying. Neither might the gates of death, Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal, Hold Thee as a mortal. 3 But to-day amidst the Twelve Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace, which evermore Passeth human knowing. Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: ST. KEVIN
