Behold, where in a mortal form

Author: William Enfield Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood. His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labored for their good. 4 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resigned He bowed, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done!" 5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide! His image may we bear! O may we tread His holy steps, His joys and glory share! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN

Jesus! exalted far on high

Author: Thomas Cotterill Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! exalted far on high, To Whom a Name is given-- A Name surpassing every name, That's known in earth or heaven! 2 Before whose throne shall every knee Bow down with one accord; Before Whose throne shall every tongue Confess that Thou art Lord; 3 Jesus, Who in the form of God, Didst equal honor claim, Yet, to redeem our guilty souls, Didst stoop to death and shame! 4 O may that mind in us be formed Which shone so bright in Thee, An humble, meek, and lowly mind, From pride and envy free!. 5 May we to others stoop, and learn To emulate Thy love; So shall we bear Thine image here, And share Thy throne above.

Jesus, Refuge of the weary

Author: Girolamo Savonarola, d. 1498; Jane Francesca Wilde Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Refuge of the weary, Object of the spirit's love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Saviour from the world above: O how oft Thine eyes, offended, Gaze upon the sinner's fall; Yet upon the Cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that Cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see Thee wounded, bleeding, See Thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet Thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what Thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for Thee; May our eyes be ever turning To Thy Cross of agony; Till in glory, parted never From the blessèd Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts forever Dwell the Cross, the Crucified. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: O DU LIEBE MEINER LIEBE

Go to dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 503 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power; Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment-hall; View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete: "It is finished," hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n!--He meets our eyes: Saviour, teach us so to rise. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76

When I survey the wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,993 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the Death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His Blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM
