Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing
Author: James Allen, 1734-1804; Walter Shirley, 1725-1786 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 822 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:47-49 Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing,
which before the cross we spend,
life and health and peace possessing
from the sinner's dying friend.
2 Here we rest in wonder, viewing
all our sins on Jesus laid;
here we see redemption flowing
from the sacrifice he made.
3 Here we find the dawn of heaven
while upon the cross we gaze,
see our trespasses forgiven,
and our songs of triumph raise.
4 Oh, that, near the cross abiding,
we may to the Savior cleave,
naught with him our hearts dividing,
all for him content to leave!
5 Lord, in loving contemplation
fix our hearts and eyes on you
till we taste your full salvation
and your unveiled glory view. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: RINGE RECHT

O sacred head sore wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; James Waddell Alexander, 1804-59 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 724 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:32-34 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

Hark! the Voice of Love and Mercy
Author: Jonathan Evans Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 549 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:46 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of love and mercy
sounds aloud from Calvary;
see, it tears the temple curtain,
shakes the earth and veils the sky:
“It is finished, it is finished!”--
hear the dying Savior cry.
2 Finished--all the types and shadows
of the ceremonial law;
God fulfills what he has promised--
death and hell shall reign no more:
“It is finished, it is finished!”--
Christ has opened heaven's door.
3 Saints and angels shout his praises,
his great finished work proclaim;
all on earth, and all in heaven,
join to bless Emmanuel’s name:
"Alleluia, alleluia,
endless glory to the Lamb!"

Hark! the Voice of Love and Mercy
In the Hour of Trial
Author: James Montgomery; Godfrey Thring, d. 1903; Mrs. Hutton Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 483 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:41 Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me,
Lest by base denial,
I depart from Thee;
When Thou seest me waver,
With a look recall,
Nor, for fear or favor,
Suffer me to fall.
2 With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm;
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm,
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance,
Cross-crowned Calvary.
3 Should Thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe;
Or should pain attend me
On my path below,
Grant that I may never
Fail Thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on Thee.
Amen. Used With Tune: PENITENCE

O come to my heart, Lord Jesus
Author: Emily Elliott, 1836-1897 Meter: Irregular Appears in 416 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:33 First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown,
when thou camest to earth for me;
but in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
for thy holy nativity:
Refrain:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus;
there is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
proclaiming thy royal degree;
but in lowly birth didst thou come to earth,
and in great humility: [Refrain]
3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest
in the shade of the cedar tree;
but thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God,
in the desert of Galilee: [Refrain]
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word
that should set thy people free;
but with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn
they bore thee to Calvary: [Refrain]
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing,
at thy coming to victory,
let thy voice call me home, saying, 'Yet there is room,
there is room at my side for thee:' [Refrain] Topics: Proper 8 Year C Used With Tune: MARGARET
