At the cross her vigil keeping
See the Lord of glory dying!
Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Lord of glory dying!
See Him gasping! Hear Him crying!
See His burdened bosom heave!
Look ye sinners, ye that hung Him,
Look how deep your sins have stung Him!
Dying sinners, look and live.
2 Bear with patience, tribulation,
Overcoming all temptation,
Till the glorious jubilee;
Soon he’ll come with bursts of thunder,
Then we shall adore and wonder,
Singing on the highest key.
3 See the blissful scenes before us,
Join the universal chorus,
Bid the flowing numbers rise;
Songs immortal sweetly sounding,
Notes angelic loud rebounding,
Trembling ’round the vocal skies. Used With Tune: LENA Text Sources: Abner Jone's Melody Of The Heart, 1804
See the Lord of glory dying!
It Is Finished! Man of Sorrows

Strength to bear and conquer thus.

Mighty Suff’rer, draw us to Thee,
Sufferer victorious!

Man of Sorrows, wonder gifted
May that sacred emblem be.
4. Lifted high amid the ages:
Guide of heroes, saints, and sages,
May it guide us still to Thee.
5. Still to Thee, whose love unbounded
Sorrow’s depth’s for us has sounded,
Perfected by conflicts sore.
6. Honored be Thy cross forever:
Star, that points our high endeavor,
Whither Thou hast gone before! Used With Tune: CHRISTI MUTTER Text Sources: Hymns for the Church (Boston, Massachusetts: Crosby, Nichols & Co., 1853

All depends on our possessing
Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 ALL depends on our possessing
God's free love and grace and blessing,
Though all earthly wealth depart;
He who God for his hath taken,
'Mid the changing world unshaken
Keeps a free, heroic heart.
2 He who hitherto hath fed me,
And to many a joy hath led me,
Is and shall be ever mine;
He who did so gently school me,
He who still doth guide and rule me,
Will not leave me now to pine.
3 Shall I weary me with fretting
O'er vain trifles, and regretting
Things that never can remain?
I will strive but that to win me
Which can shed true rest within me,--
Rest the world must seek in vain.
4 When my heart with longing sickens,
Hope again my courage quickens,
For my wish shall be fulfilled,
If it please His will most tender,
Soul and body I surrender
Unto Him on whom I build.
5 Well he knows how best to grant me
All the longing hopes that haunt me;
All things have their proper day;
I would dictate to Him never,
As God wills, so be it ever,
When He wills I will obey.
6 If on earth He bids me linger,
He will guide me with His finger
Through the years that now look dim;
All that earth has fleets and changes,
As a river onward ranges,
But I rest in peace on Him.

The Brasen Serpent
Author: Hart Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: When the chosen tribes debated Lyrics: 1 When the chosen tribes debated
’Gainst their God, as hardly treated,
And complained their hopes were spilt,
God, for murmuring to requite them,
Fiery serpents sent to bite them;
Lively type of deadly guilt!
2 Stung by these, they soon repented;
And their God as soon relented;
Moses prayed; he answer gave:
“Serpents are the beasts that strike them;
Make of brass a serpent like them;
That’s the way I choose to save.”
3 Vain was bandage, oil, or plaster;
Rankling venom killed the faster;
Till the serpent Moses took,
Reared it high, that all might view it;
Bid the bitten look up to it;
Life attended every look.
4 Jesus, thus for sinners smitten,
Wounded, bruisèd, serpent-bitten,
To his cross directs their faith.
Why should I, then, poison cherish?
Why despair of cure, and perish?
Look, my soul, though stung to death.
5 Thine’s alas! a lost condition;
Works cannot work thee remission,
Nor thy goodness do thee good.
Death’s within thee, all about thee;
But the remedy’s without thee;
See it in thy Saviour’s blood.
6 See the Lord of glory dying!
See him gasping! Hear him crying!
See his burdened bosom heave!
Look, ye sinners, ye that hung him;
Look how deep your sins have stung him;
Dying sinners, look and live.

The Relative Duties
Author: Hart Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Christians, in your several stations Lyrics: 1 Christians, in your several stations,
Dutiful to all relations,
Give to each his proper due.
Let not their unkind behaviour
Make you disobey your Saviour;
His command’s the rule for you.
2 Parents, be to children tender:
Children, full obedience render
To your parents in the Lord.
Never slight nor disrespect them;
Nor, through pride, when old, reject them;
‘Tis the precept of the word.
3 Wives, to husbands yield subjection:
Husbands, with a kind affection,
Cherish as yourselves your wives.
Masters, rule with moderation,
Sway'd by justice, not by passion:
To the scriptures square your lives.
4 Servants, serve your masters truly,
Not unfaithful, nor unruly,
To the good or to the bad;
Not refusing what you’re bidden,
Or replying when you’re chidden;
‘Tis the ordinance of God.
5 This shall solve the important question,
Whether thou'rt a real Christian,
Better than each golden dream;
Better far than lip-expression,
Towering notions, great profession;
This shall shew your love to him.
