Jesus, I Will Ponder Now

Author: August Crull, 1846-1923; Sigismund von Birken, 1626-81 Hymnal: LW1982 #109 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I will ponder now On your holy Passion; With your Spirit me endow For such meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of your suff'ring, pain, and death That I may not perish. 2 Make me see your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And your crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails did wound you, How you died for those, O God, Who with thorns had crowned you. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see your Passion; But its cause to me make known And its termination. For I also and my sin Brought your deep affliction; This the shameful cause has been Of your crucifixion. 4 Grant that I your Passion view With repentant grieving, Let me not bring shame to you By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Ev'ry sinful pleasure Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let your cross my fear disarm, Peace and pardon give me. Grant that I may trust in you And your holy Passion; If his Son forgives anew, God must have compassion. 6 Jesus, Lord, my heart renew, Let me bear my crosses, Learning humbleness from you, Peace despite my losses. May I give you love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heav'n above Sing your praise forever.

Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: LW1982 #110 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, All who feel the tempter's pow'r; Your Redeemer's conflict see. Watch with him one bitter hour; Turn not from his griefs away; Learn from Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; Oh, the worm-wood and the gall! Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry'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 from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Passion Week Languages: English Tune Title: GETHSEMANE

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: LW1982 #114 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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!

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1796-1854 Hymnal: LW1982 #116 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, See him dying on the tree! This is Christ, by man rejected; Here, my soul, your Savior see. He's the long-expected prophet, David's son, yet David's Lord. Proofs I see sufficient of it: He's the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, as you hear him groaning, Was there ever grief like this? Friends through fear his cause disowning, Foes insulting his distress; Many hands were raised to wound him, None would intervene to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced him Was the stroke that justice gave. 3 You who think of sin but lightly Nor suppose the evil great Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed; See who bears the awful load; It's the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation; Here the refuge of the lost; Christ, the rock of our salvation, His the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on him their hope have built.

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Hymnal: LW1982 #118 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, Of him who died upon the cross. The sinner's hope let all deride; For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, "God is love." He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes the terror from the grave And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heav'n above.
