Lord Jesus, You Are Going Forth
Thy Cross, O Jesus, Thou Didst Bear
Author: Erik Gustaf Geijer, 1783-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy cross, O Jesus, Thou didst bear,
Thy path to death extended,
To save the world, which everywhere
With hate and scorn offended.
Oh, love how deep
To bleed and weep
For thine own persecutors!
2 Thy cross, Redeemer, Thou didst bear;
Our sins away Thou'st taken;
Thine own Thou wilt us still declare,
Though we have Thee forsaken,
And gone astray:
Yea, day by day
Thy love is present with us.
3 Thy cross, O Saviour, Thou didst bear;
Thy boundless might and glory,
Forever praised by angels fair,
And told in sacred story.
Thou laidst aside,
Naught shall abide,
Save by the love that bleedeth.
4 Thy cross to victory Thou didst bear.
Oh, grant that I, dear Saviour,
May glory in the cross and share
The heavenly joy and favor!
Then shall my soul
Have reached its goal
Safe in Thy loving bosom. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: SO GEHST DU NUN, MEIN JESU, HIN
Thy Cross, O Jesus, Thou Didst Bear
So, Lord, Thou Goest Forth To Die
Author: Caspar F. Nachtenhöfer; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 So, Lord, Thou goest forth to die,
For me the cross enduring;
For me a sinner willingly
A blest release procuring.
Go forth, my Lord—all praise be Thine;
Thee may I follow weeping:
Now floods of grief, my Lord, be mine,
Watch o’er Thy sorrows keeping.
2 What for this wondrous love can I
Prepare for an oblation?
My all within is poverty
And deep humiliation.
May I through all my mortal day,
To Thee due tribute raising,
Serve only Thee—in endless day
Still serving Thee and praising. Used With Tune: SO GEHST Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns (Cambridge, England: John Deighton, 1851)
