Christ, the Life of All the Living
Author: Ernst Christoph Homburg, 1605-81; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:33-46 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,
0 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 shameful 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 hast 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.

O Jesus, We Adore You
Author: Arthur T. Russell Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:41-43 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, we adore you,
upon the cross, our King.
We bow our hearts before you;
your gracious name we sing.
That name has brought salvation,
that name in life our stay,
our peace, our consolation,
when life shall fade away.
2 The world does yet disdain you,
still passing by the cross;
Lord, may our hearts retain you;
all else we count but loss.
Ah, Lord, our sins arraigned you
and nailed you to the tree;
our pride, O Lord, disdained you,
yet you have set us free.
3 O glorious King, we praise you,
no longer pass you by;
O Jesus, we confess you
the Son enthroned on high.
Lord, grant to us forgiveness;
life through your death restore;
yes, grant to us the fullness
of life forevermore.

This Is the Night
Author: Peter Abélard; Richard Lyman Sturch Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:14-75; 27 First Line: This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping,
when powers of darkness overcome the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.
2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold,
betrays himself into his victim’s will,
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing:
sin brings about the cure for sin’s own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hand to treason’s,
and buys the ransom-price of humankind.
4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested,
he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,
that judgment on the righteous Judge begin.
5 O make us sharers, Savior, of your Passion,
that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter’s laughter and its liberty. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: MY NEIGHBOR
