Ye wretched sons of men draw near

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched sons of men draw near, The cries and groans of Jesus hear; Come see the blessed lamb of God, There shedding of his precious Blood, 2 Behold him wounded scourg'd & bruis'd Mock'd, and slander'd, and abus'd; O hear his cries upon the tree: Why hath my God forsaken me! 3 His pain, his anguish, and distress, No heart can feel, no tongue express; When all the powers of Hell broke in, And Christ bore all the weight of sin. 4 When Jesus to the Cross was nail'd, The Sun was all in darkness vail'd; The Rocks were rent when Jesus cried! The earth was shaken when he died. 5 The heavens their black curtains drew, Such mournful scenes they could not view; It was too much for human eye, To see the King of Glory die. 6 How dark and awful was the day, When Jesus died to take away; Our curse and punishment and pain, For which he died and rose again.

Hymn 44 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 642 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:57 First Line: He dies! the friend of sinners dies! Lyrics: He dies! the friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies; A sudden trembling shakes the ground. Come, saints, and drop a tear or two For him who groaned beneath your load: He shed a thousand drops for you, A thousand drops of richer blood. Here's love and grief beyond degree, The Lord of glory dies for men! But lo! what sudden joys we see; Jesus the dead revives again! The rising God forsakes the tomb! The tomb in vain forbids his rise; Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies Break off your fears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliv'rer reigns; Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell, And led the monster Death in chains. Say, "Live for ever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save; Then ask the monster, "Where's thy sting?" And, "Where's thy vict'ry, boasting Grave?"

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 412 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27 First Line: Thou didst leave thy throne and thy kingly crown Refrain First Line: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus 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 thou didst come to earth, and in great humility: (Refrain) 3 The foxes found rest and the birds their nest in the shade of the forest 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." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, when thou comest and callest for me! Topics: Adoration of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Humility Used With Tune: MARGARET

Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb!

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:59-60 Lyrics: 1 Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb! Take this new treasure to thy trust; And give these sacred relics room To seek a slumber in the dust. 2 Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear Invade thy bounds; no mortal woes Can reach the peaceful sleeper here, While angels watch the soft repose. 3 So Jesus slept; God's dying Son Passed through the grave, and blessed the bed; Rest here, blessed saint! til from his throne The morning break, and pierce the shade. 4 Break from his throne, illustrious morn! Attend, O earth! his sovereign word; Restore thy trust; a glorious form Shall then ascend and meet the Lord. Topics: Life and Death; At the Grave

My Lord, all grace supplying, O turn your face on me! 3 Your sinless soul's oppression was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain: I bow my head, my Saviour, for I deserve your place; O grant to me your favour, and heal me by your grace. 4 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours for ever: your servant let me be; and may I never, never betray your love for me. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: rev.

Resting from his work today

Author: Thomas Whytehead, 1815-1843 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:60-61 Lyrics: 1 Resting from his work today in the tomb the Saviour lay; still he slept, from head to feet shrouded in the winding-sheet, lying in the rock alone, hidden by the sealèd stone. 2 Late at even there was seen watching long the Magdalene; early, ere the break of day, sorrowful she took her way to the holy garden glade, where her buried Lord was laid. 3 So with thee, till life shall end, I would solemn vigil spend; let me hew lhee, Lord, a shrine in this rocky heart of mine, where in pure embalmèd cell, none but thou may ever dwell. 4 Myrrh and spices will I bring, true affection's offering; close the door from sight and sound of the busy world around; and in patient watch remain till my Lord appear again.

Throned Upon the Awful Tree

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, Lamb of God, Your grief I see. Darkness veils Your anguished face; None its lines of woe can trace. None can tell what pangs unknown Hold You silent and alone-- 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around You and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Til the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! You, the Father’s only Son, You, His own anointed one, You are asking--can it be -- “Why have You forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Flooding o’er my sinful soul, You, who once were thus bereft That Your own might ne’er be left, Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know You nigh.
