Upon the Cross Extended
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended,
See, world, your Lord suspended;
Your Savior yields his breath.
The Prince of life from heaven
Himself has freely given
To shame and blows and bitter death.
2 How God at our transgression
To anger gives expression,
How loud his thunders roll,
How fearfully he smites him,
How sorely he requites him --
All this your suff'rings teach my soul.
3 'Tis I who should be smitten,
My doom should here be written:
Bound hand and foot in hell.
The fetters and the scourging,
The floods around you surging,
'Tis I who have deserved them well.
4 A crown of thorns you're wearing,
My shame and scorn you're bearing
That I might ransomed be.
My bondsman, ever willing,
My place with patience filling,
From sin and guilt has made me free.
5 Your cords of love, my Savior,
Bind me to you forever;
I am no longer mine.
To you I gladly tender
All that my life can render
And all I have to you resign. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows
The woodlands, fields and meadows,
The world in slumber lies;
But thou, my soul, awake thee,
To song and prayer betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 The radiant sun hath vanished,
Its golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day;
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness,
Within my heart holds constant sway.
3 The rule of day is over,
And shining jewels cover
The sky above so blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful prove and true.
4 My body lies divested
Of garments that have rested
Upon this form of clay.
But I in rapture ponder
How Christ shall clothe me yonder
With glory that endures for aye.
5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
Thy pinions spread above me,
And shield me well from harm.
Let angel guards attend me
And from the foe defend me,
That I may rest without alarm.
6 My loved ones, rest securely,
For God will keep you surely
From pain and perils sore.
Sweet slumbers may He send you,
And may His hosts defend you
With golden weapons evermore. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: INNSPRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Composite

Lord God, by whom all change is wrought
Author: T. H. Gill, 1819-1906 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Lord God, by whom all change is wrought,
By whom new things to birth are brought,
In whom no change is known!
Whate'er Thou dost, whate'er Thou art,
Thy people still in Thee have part;
Still, still Thou art our own.
2 Ancient of Days! we dwell in Thee;
Out of Thine own eternity
Our peace and joy are wrought
We rest in our eternal God,
And make secure and sweet abode
With Thee, who changest not.
3 Each steadfast promise we possess;
Thine everlasting truth we bless,
Thine everlasting love,
The unfailing Helper close we clasp,
The everlasting Arms we grasp,
Nor from the Refuge move.
4 Spirit who makest all things new,
Thou leadest onward; we pursue
The heavenly march sublime,
'Neath Thy renewing fire we glow,
And still from strength to strength we go,
From height to height we climb.
5 Darkness and dread we leave behind,
New light, new glory still we find,
New realms divine possess;
New births of grace new raptures bring;
Triumphant, the new song we sing,
The great Renewer bless.
6 To Thee we rise, in Thee we rest;
We stay at home, we go in quest,
Still Thou art our abode
The rapture swells, the wonder grows
As full on us new life still flows
From our unchanging God. Topics: The Godhead The Father; God Unchangeable; Unchangeableness of Christ Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK

O thou who dost accord us
Author: J. W. Hewett Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 O thou, who dost accord us
The highest prize and guerdon,
Thou hope of all our race,
Jesu, do thou afford us
The gift we ask of pardon
For all who humbly seek thy face.
2 With whispered accusation
Our conscience tells of sinning
In thought and word and deed;
Thine is the restoration,
The work of grace beginning
For souls from every burden freed.
3 For who, if thou reject us,
Shall raise the fainting spirit?
'Tis thine alone to spare:
That thou to life elect us
Through our Redeemer's merit,
Shall be thy people's lowly prayer.
4 O Trinity most glorious,
Thy pardon free bestowing,
Defend us evermore;
That in thy courts victorious,
Thy love more truly knowing,
We may with all thy saints adore.

Come, see the place where Jesus lay
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics:
Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
And hear angelic watchers say,
"He lives, who once was slain:
Why seek the living midst the dead?
Remember how the Savior said
That he would rise again."
O joyful sound! O glorious hour,
When by his own Almighty power
He rose and left the grave!
Now let our songs his triumph tell,
Who burst the bands of death and hell,
And ever lives to save.
The First-begotten of the dead,
For us he rose, our glorious Head,
Immortal life to bring;
What though the saints like him shall die,
They share their Leader's victory,
And triumph with their King.
No more they tremble at the grave,
For Jesus will their spirits save,
And raise their slumbering dust:
O risen Lord, in thee we live,
To thee our ransomed souls we give,
To thee our bodies trust.
Amen.

And darkness fast is creeping
O’er byre, hearth, and hall;
But thou, my soul, ere slumber,
For blessings passing number
Exalt the giver of them all.

My friends and kindred nearest,
God rest you safe from harm!

Their golden shields defend ye,
From nightly danger and alarm. Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK Text Sources: Praxis Pietatis Melica, 3rd edition, by Johann Crüger, 1648
