It Is a Thing Most Wonderful

Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: HTLG2017 #161 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 It is a thing most wonderful, almost too wonderful to be, that God's own Son should come from heav'n, and die to save a child like me. 2 And yet I know that it is true: He chose a poor and humble lot, and wept and toiled and mourned and died for love of those who loved Him not. 3 I cannot tell how He could love a child so weak and full of sin; His love must be most wonderful if He could die my love to win. 4 I sometimes think about the cross, and shut my eyes, and try to see the cruel nails and crown of thorns, and Jesus crucified for me. 5 But even could I see Him die, I could but see a little part of that great love which, like a fire, is always burning in His heart. 6 It is most wonderful to know His love for me so free and sure; but 'tis more wonderful to see my love for Him so faint and poor. 7 And yet I want to love Thee, Lord; O light the flame within my heart, and I will love Thee more and more, until I see Thee as Thou art.

Christ, the Life of All the Living

Author: Ernst C. Homburg; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HTLG2017 #162 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ, the life of all the living, Christ, the death of death, our foe; who Thyself for me once giving to the darkest depths of woe, patiently didst yield Thy breath but to save my soul from death; praise and glory ever be, blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, O Christ, hast taken on Thee bitter strokes, a cruel rod; pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God; only thus for me to win, rescue from the bonds of sin; praise and glory ever be, blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only that it might not fall on me; stoodest falsely charged and lonely that I might be safe and free; comfortless that I might know comfort from Thy boundless woe; praise and glory ever be, blessed Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Then for all that wrought our pardon, for the sorrows deep and sore, for The anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore, thank Thee with my latest breath for Thy sad and cruel death, for that last and bitter cry, praise Thee evermore on high.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: HTLG2017 #163 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time; all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime. 2 In the cross of Christ I glory, there for all was grace made free, none deserving, yet receiving life thro' death at Calvary. 3 When the woes of life o'ertake me, hopes deceive and fears annoy, never shall the cross forsake me. Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 4 When the sun of bliss is beaming light and love upon my way, from the cross the radiance streaming adds more luster to the day. 5 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified; peace is there that knows no measure, joys that thro' all time abide.

Sing, My Tongue, the Glorious Battle

Author: Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus, 6th cent.; John Mason Neale, 19th cent. Hymnal: HTLG2017 #165 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; sing the ending of the fray. Now above the cross, the trophy, sound the loud triumphant lay: tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, as a victim won the day. 2 Tell how, when at length the fullness of th'appointed time was come, He, the Word, was born of woman, left for us His Father's home, blazed the path of true obedience, shone as light amidst the gloom. 3 Thus, with thirty years accomplished, He went forth from Nazareth, destined, dedicated, willing, did His work, and met His death; like a lamb He humbly yielded on the cross His dying breath. 4 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph, be for all the noblest tree; none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit your equal be; symbol of the world's redemption, for the weight that hung on thee! 5 Unto God be praise and glory: to the Father and the Son, to th'eternal Spirit honor now and evermore be done; praise and glory in the highest, while the timeless ages run.
