O God, I love Thee; not that my poor love

Author: Francis Xavier (?), d. 1552; Edward Henry Bickersteth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #58 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O God, I love Thee; not that my poor love May win me entrance to Thy Heaven above, Nor yet that strangers to Thy love must know The bitterness of everlasting woe. 2 But, Jesus, Thou art mine, and I am Thine; Clasped to Thy bosom by Thy arms divine, Who on the cruel Cross for me hast borne The nails, the spear, and man’s unpitying scorn. 3 No thought can fathom and no tongue express Thy griefs, Thy toils, Thy anguish measureless, Thy death, O Lamb of God the undefiled,-- And all for me, Thy wayward sinful child. 4 How can I choose but love Thee, God’s dear Son, O Jesus, loveliest, and most loving One! Were there no heav'n to gain, no hell to flee, For what Thou art alone I must love Thee. 5 Not for the hope of glory or reward, But even as Thyself hast loved me, Lord, I love Thee, and will love Thee and adore, Who art my King, my God, for evermore. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: PAX DEI

O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord

Author: Gregory the Great, d. 604; Ray Palmer Hymnal: LHTC1918 #59 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our King, Creator, Lord, Saviour of all who trust Thy Word, To them who seek Thee ever near, Now to our praises bend Thine ear. 2 In Thy dear Cross a grace is found-- It flows from ev'ry streaming wound-- Whose power our inbred sin controls, Breaks the firm bond, and frees our souls. 3 Thou didst create the stars of night; Yet Thou hast veiled in flesh Thy light, Hast deigned a mortal form to wear, A mortal's painful lot to bear. 4 When Thou didst hang upon the Tree, The quaking earth acknowledge Thee; When Thou didst there yield up Thy breath, The world grew dark as shades of death. 5 Now in the Father's glory high, Great Conqueror, never more to die, Us by Thy mighty power defend, And reign through ages without end. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: GRACE CHURCH

All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy Blood; Opened is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail, enthroned in glory, There for ever to abide! All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side: There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive; Highest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, Bring your sweetest, noblest lays, Help to sing our Saviour's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Amen.

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Author: James Allen; Walter Shirley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #61 (1917) 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 O that near the Cross abiding, We may to the Saviour cleave, Naught with Him our hearts dividing, All for Him content to leave.

O love, how deep, how broad, how high

Author: Thomas à Kempis (?), d. 1471; Benjamin Webb Hymnal: LHTC1918 #63 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high, O great, O wondrous mystery, That God, the Son of God, should take Our mortal form for mortals' sake! 2 He sent no angel to our race, Of higher or of lower place, But He Himself to this world came And wore the robe of human frame. 3 For us baptized! then Spirit-led He fasted,--Who the thousands fed; For us temptation sharp He knew, For us the Tempter overthrew. 4 For us He prayed, for us He taught, For us His every work He wrought, By words, and signs, and actions, thus Still seeking not Himself, but us. 5 For us by wicked men betrayed, Scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed; For us He bore the Cross's death, For us at length gave up His breath. 6 For us He rose from death again, For us He went on high to reign, For us He sent His Spirit here To guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: RIVAULX

Lord Jesus, when we stand afar

Author: William Washam How Hymnal: LHTC1918 #64 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar, And gaze upon Thy holy Cross, In love of Thee, and scorn of self, O may we count the world as loss! 2 When we behold Thy bleeding wounds, The thorny path that Thou hast trod, Make us to hate the load of sin That lay so heavy on our God. 3 O Holy Lord, uplifted high, With outstretched arms in mortal woe, Embracing in Thy wondrous love The sinful world that lies below;-- 4 Give us an ever-living faith To gaze beyond the things we see: And in the mystery of Thy death Draw us and all men unto Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: LUDBOROUGH

Wide open are Thy hands

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux (?), d. 1153; Charles Porterfield Krauth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #65 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Wide open are Thy hands, Paying with more than gold The awful debt of guilty men, Forever and of old. Ah, let me grasp those hands, That we may never part, And let the power of their blood Sustain my fainting heart. 2 Wide open are Thine arms, A fallen world to embrace; To take to love and endless rest Our whole forsaken race. Lord, I am sad and poor, But boundless is Thy grace; Give me the soul-transforming joy For which I seek Thy face. 3 Draw all my mind and heart Up to Thy throne on high, And let Thy sacred Cross exalt My spirit to the sky. To these, Thy mighty hands, My spirit I resign; Living, I live alone to Thee, Dying, alone am Thine. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SALVE JESU

We sing the praise of Him Who died

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: LHTC1918 #66 (1917) Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the Cross; The sinner's hope let all deride, For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon that Cross we see, In shining letters, "God is Love." He bears our sins upon the Tree, He brings us mercy from above. 3 The Cross! it takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens every bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes all terror from the grave, And gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heaven above. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Languages: English Tune Title: WAREHAM
