At the Cross, her station keeping

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #84 (1958) Lyrics: 1 At the Cross, her station keeping, Stood the mournful mother weeping, Where he hung, the dying Lord; For her soul, of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish, deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 O, how sad and sore distressed Now was she, that mother blessed Of the sole-begotten One. Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the crucifixion Of her ever-glorious Son. A-men. 3 Who, on Christ's dear mother gazing, Pierced with anguish so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear mother thinking, Such a cup of sorrow drinking, Would not share her sorrows deep? 4 For his people's sins chastisèd, She beheld her Son despisèd, Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till his spirit he resigned. 5 Jesus, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion, Fount of love, Redeemer kind, That my heart, fresh ardor gaining And a purer love attaining, May with thee acceptance find. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week; The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: STABAT MATER (MAINZ)

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended

Author: Robert Bridges, 1844 - 1930; Johann Heermann, 1585 - 1647 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #85 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended, That man to judge thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee. ’Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee: I crucified thee. A-men. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinnèd, and the Son hath suffered; For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was thine Incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish, and thy bitter Passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay thee, I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee, Think on thy pity and thy love unswerving, Not my deserving. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU

O come and mourn with me awhile

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814 - 63 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #86 (1958) Lyrics: 1 O come and mourn with me awhile; O come ye to the Saviour's side; O come, together let us mourn: Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. 2 Have we no tears to shed for him, While soldiers scoff and foes deride? Ah! look how patiently he hangs: Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. 3 Seven times He spake, seven words of love; And all three hours his silence cried For mercy on the souls of men: Jesus, our Lord, is crucified. 4 O love of God, O sin of man! In this dread act your strength is tried, And victory remains with love: For he, our Love, is crucified! Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS

Christ the Lord is risen today

Author: Charles Wesley, 1708-88 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #91 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is risen today, Sons of men and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply. Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the Sun's eclipse is o'er, Lo! he sets in blood no more. A-men. 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids his rise, Christ hath opened Paradise. Lives again our glorious King, Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once he died our souls to save, Where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Following our exalted Head: Made like him, like him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Praise to thee by both be given; Thee we greet triumphant now, Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: ST.
