O Love, How Deep

Author: Thomas à Kempis, 15th cent.; Benjamin Webb Hymnal: HTLG2017 #141 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O love, how deep, how broad, how high Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high, how passing thought and fantasy, that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals’ sake! 2 He sent no angel to our race, of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame, and He Himself to this world came. 3 For us baptized, for us He bore His holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp He knew, for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us to wicked men betrayed, scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed, He bore the shameful cross and death for us at length gave up His breath. 5 For us He rose from death again, for us He went on high to reign, for us He sent His Spirit here to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer. 6 All glory to our Lord and God for love so deep, so high, so broad — the Trinity whom we adore forever and forevermore.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: HTLG2017 #142 (2017) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love to me; love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be. O who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from His blest throne salvation to bestow; but men made strange, and none the longed for Christ would know. But oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, and His sweet praises sing; resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for His death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these themselves displease, and 'gainst Him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have my dear Lord made away; a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay. Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, that He His foes from thence might free. 6 In life, no house, no home my Lord on earth might have; in death, no friendly tomb but what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was His home, but mine the tomb wherein He lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like Thine. This is my Friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: HTLG2017 #143 (2017) Meter: 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 wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; learn from Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at His feet, mark the 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: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Languages: English

'Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow

Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: HTLG2017 #144 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ’Tis midnight; and on Olive’s brow the star is dimmed that lately shone: ’tis midnight; in the garden now the suff'ring Savior prays alone. 2 ’Tis midnight; and, from all removed, Emmanuel wrestles lone with fears: e’en the disciple that He loved heeds not his Master’s grief and tears. 3 ’Tis midnight; and, for others’ guilt, the Man of Sorrows weeps in blood: yet He that has in anguish knelt is not forsaken by His God. 4 ’Tis midnight; and from heav'nly plains is borne the song that angels know: unheard by mortals are the strains that sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe.

His Be the Victor's Name

Author: Samuel Whitelock Gandy Hymnal: HTLG2017 #145 (2017) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 His be the Victor’s name, who fought the fight alone; triumphant saints no honor claim; His conquest was their own. 2 By weakness and defeat He won a glorious crown, trod all our foes beneath His feet by being trodden down. 3 He Satan’s pow'r laid low; made sin, He sin o’erthrew; bowed to the grave, destroyed it so, and death, by dying, slew. 4 Bless, bless the Conqu'ror slain, slain in His victory; who lived, who died, who lives again — For thee, His church, for thee!

'Tis Finished! The Messiah Dies

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #146 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Tis finished! The Messiah dies - cut off for sins, but not His own; accomplished is the sacrifice - the great redeeming work is done. 2 The veil is rent; in Christ alone the living way to heav'n is seen; the middle wall is broken down, and all mankind may enter in. 3 'Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice beside; for me, for me the Lamb is slain, 'tis finished! I am justified. 4 The reign of sin and death is o'er; all grace is now to sinners giv'n; and lo! I plead th'atoning blood, and in Thy right I claim my heav'n. Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th cent.; Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Hymnal: HTLG2017 #147 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown. O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest Friend, for this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever! And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never, outlive my love for Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me! And, for my succor flying, come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, from Thee shall never move; for he who dies believing dies safely in Thy love.

Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HTLG2017 #149 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head for such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! 3 well might the sun in darkness hide and shut his glories in, when Christ, the mighty Maker died for man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears, dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe; here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HTLG2017 #150 (2017) 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 present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
