Hail, O Once-Despised Jesus
Author: John Bakewell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 625 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9 Lyrics: 1 Hail, O once-despised Jesus!
Hail, O Galilean King!
You have suffered to release us,
hope and joy and peace to bring.
Hail, O agonizing Savior,
bearer of our sin and shame;
by your merits we find favor;
life is given through your name.
2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed,
all our sins on you were laid;
by almighty love anointed,
you have full atonement made.
All your people are forgiven
through the virtue of your blood;
opened is the gate of heaven;
we are reconciled to God.
3 Jesus! Heavenly hosts adore you,
seated at your Father's side.
Crucified this world once saw you;
now in glory you abide.
There for sinners you are pleading,
and our place you now prepare,
ever for us interceding,
till in glory we appear.
4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing
you are worthy to receive;
loudest praises, without ceasing,
right it is for us to give.
Help, O bright angelic spirits,
all your noblest anthems raise;
help to sing our Savior's merits,
help to chant Immanuel's praise.

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1860-1935 Appears in 370 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9:28-43 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Saviour, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
oh tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heaven above,
shall come the city of our God. Topics: City / City of God; Grace; Gratitude; Jesus Christ Healer and Teacher; One Life in Christ Mission; Recessionals; Social Concerns / Social Justice; Tears / Weeping; Water; Work Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)

'Take up thy cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest, 1814-77 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 298 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9:23-43 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up
and brace your heart and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
your Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only they who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Good Friday; Holy Week; Passion Sunday Used With Tune: O JESU CHRIST, MEINS LEBENS LICHT

in this, our evil day;
to all thy tempted foll'wers give
the power to watch and pray.

long as the cross we bear,
O let our souls on thee be cast
in never ceasing prayer.

to wrestle till we see thy face,
and know thy hidden name.

till thou thyself bestow,

"I will not let thee go!
5 "I will not let thee go unless
thou tell thy name to me,
with all thy great salvation bless,
and make me all like thee."
6 Then let me on the mountaintop
behold thine open face
where faith in sight is swallowed up,
and prayer in endless praise. Used With Tune: BEDENS BROOK

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child
Author: Joseph S. Cook Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Luke 9:28-36 Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
there he lay, the undefiled, to the world a stranger:
Such a Babe in such a place, can he be the Savior?
Ask the saved of every race who have found his favor.
2 Angels sang about his birth; Wise Men sought and found him;
heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory all around him:
Shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing;
all the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing.
3 Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger;
he is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger:
Son of God, of humble birth, beautiful the story;
praise his name in all the earth, hail the King of glory!
