Christ, the Life of All the Living

Author: E. C. Homburg, 1605-81 ; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals 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 heavenly 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.

Thou becam’st a curse, dear Savior, To restore me to God’s favor; Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Dearest Lord, for ever be. 3 Lord, I’ll praise Thee now and ever, Who for me wast crucified; For Thy agony, dear Savior, For Thy wounds and pierced side, For Thy love, so tried, unending, For Thy death, all deaths transcending. For Thy death and love divine, Lord, I’ll be for ever Thine. Topics: The Church Year The Season of Lent Used With Tune: ZURICH

All Men Living Are But Mortal

Author: J. G. Albinus, 1624-1679; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal and will surely fade as grass; only through death's gloomy portal to eternal life we pass. When this body here has perished, then will heav'nly joys be cherished where the saints, in glorious dress, live and reign in righteousness. 2 Therefore, when my God shall choose it, willingly I'll yield my life, nor will grieve that I should lose it, with its sorrow, pain, and strife. In my dear Redeemer's merit peace has found my troubled spirit, and in death my comfort this: Jesus' death my source of bliss. 3 Jesus for my sake descended my salvation to obtain: death and hell for me are ended, peace and hope are now my gain. With great joy I leave earth's sadness for the home of heav'nly gladness, where I shall forever see God, the Holy Trinity. 4 There is joy beyond our telling, where so many saints have gone; thousands, thousands, there are dwelling, worshiping before the throne. There the angel hosts are shining, evermore in chorus joining: "Holy, holy, holy, Lord! Triune God, by all adored!" 5 Patriarchs of sacred story and the prophets there are found; twelve apostles, bright with glory, on twelve seats are there enthroned. All the saints are there ascended age on age, through time extended, there in blissful concert sing hallelujahs to their King. 6 O Jerusalem, how glorious are your heav'nly mansions fair! I can hear the tones victorious ever sweetly sounding there. Oh, the bliss that there surprises! Look, my soul, the sun now rises, and the breaking day I see that shall never end for me. 7 Now I see what here was told me, see that wondrous glory shine, feel the spotless robes enfold me, know a golden crown is mine. Thus before the throne so glorious now I stand, a soul victorious, filled with purest joy and peace that in Christ shall never cease.

Russell Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesu! life! the life of Heaven, Thou who death’s destruction art, Thou whose love for me hath given To unfathomed woes Thine heart, So to merit my salvation From eternal condemnation, Thousand thousand thanks to Thee, Gracious Jesu! ever be. 2 Lo! for me, O Lord, Thou bearest Mockery, spitting, scorn and shame: Stripes and bands and wounds Thou sharest, Son of God! most Holy Name! Thus from Satan to regain, That no more his chains detaine. Thousand thousand thanks to Thee, Gracious Jesu! ever be. 3 Lo! with grief Thy form is wasted, Suffering patiently for me! All death’s bitterness is tasted, From its doom my soul to free: Willingly Thou all endure; So redemption Thou procure! Thousand thousand thanks to Thee, Gracious Jesu! ever be. 4 Thy humility appeaseth Wrath the fruit of all my pride: In Thy death death’s terror ceaseth; All is well, for Thou hast died. From Thy deep humiliation Comes my glorious exaltation! Thousand thousand thanks to Thee, Gracious Jesu! ever be. 5 Lord, I bring Thee thanks unfeignèd For Thy life of grief below, For the wounds Thy love sustainèd, For Thy death of wondrous woe! For Thy soul did terrors shake, I my tongue to praise will wake. Thousand thousand thanks to Thee, Gracious Jesu! ever be.

Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal

Author: Johann Georg Albinus; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass, Only through a death-rent portal To a better world ye pass; Dust to dust must sink inglorious, Ere this body rise victorious To the realms of life and light, Won for saints thro' Jesus' might. 2 Therefore, when my Father chooses, Willingly my life I'll yield; He but gains, nay never loses, Who with Jesus quits the field. For in my Redeemer's merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort is Jesus' death--sweet comfort this! 3 Jesus died for me, O hear it! And His death is all my gain; Shall I then, yet wav'ring, fear it, Since with Christ I rise again? Joyfully I'll quit earth's sadness For the beauteous heaven of gladness; Where I shall forevermore See the Triune, and adore! 4 There is life, life never ending, Where so many saints are gone, Where in light the thousands blending Worship God before the throne. Seraphim there flit before us, Swelling heaven with august chorus: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord! God Triune, for aye adored!" 5 Worthies, there, of sacred story, Prophets, patriarchs, are met; There apostles too in glory Fill twelve thrones by Jesus set; All the saints that have ascended Age on age, through time extended, There, in blissful concert, sing Hallelujahs to their King. 6 O Jerusalem, how golden Dost thou shine, thou city blest! Sweetly thy near tones embolden My winged soul to seek my rest. O the bliss that there surprises! Lo, the sun of morn now rises, And the breaking day I see, That shall never end for me! 7 Yea, I see what here was told me, See that wondrous glory shine, Feel the spotless robes enfold me, Know a golden crown is mine; Thus I stand and look before me To the throne that rises o'er me, Gazing on that joy for aye, That shall never pass away!
