Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-78 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,896 hymnals Scripture: John 19:31-38 Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone:
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Atonement; Comfort; Funerals; Jesus Christ Passion and Cross; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Judgment of God; Sin Used With Tune: PETRA
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,990 hymnals Scripture: John 18, 19 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 cross 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 an offering far too small;
love so amazing, so divine,
demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Discipleship; Holy Week (Good Friday); Praise of God; Sunday of the Passion Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

Glory to thee, my God, this night
Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,046 hymnals Scripture: John 19:38-42 Lyrics: 1 Glory to thee, my God, this night
for all the blessings of the light;
keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
beneath thy own almighty wings.
2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
the ill that I this day have done,
that with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread
the grave as little as my bed;
teach me to die, that so I may
rise glorious at the aweful day.
4 O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep my eyelids close,
sleep that may me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.
5 When in the night I sleepless lie,
my soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
no powers of darkness me molest.
6 Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
praise him, all creatures here below,
praise him above, angelic host,
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: TALLIS'S CANON

And hail him as our heav'nly king
Through all eternity.

For those he came to save.

And lives that death may die.

For ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light,
Where saints with angels sing
Their songs before him day and night,
Their God, Redeemer, King. Topics: Ascension of the Lord; Christ the King; Easter Season; Holy Week Passion Sunday; Holy Week Good Friday; Jesus; New Life/New Creation; Praise Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

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 The joy can ne'er be spoken,
Above all joys beside,
When in Thy body broken
I thus with safety hide.
My Lord of life, desiring
Thy glory now to see,
Beside the cross expiring,
I'd breathe my soul to Thee.
4 What language shall I borrow,
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
Oh, make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee. Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Good Friday; Christian Year Passion/Palm Sunday; Christian Year Good Friday; Cross; Cross of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Crucifixion; Death of Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ Redemptive work Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found,
And there's no weeping there.

What Child Is This
Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7 with refrain Appears in 202 hymnals Scripture: John 19:34-42 First Line: What child is this, who laid to rest Lyrics: 1 What child is this, who, laid to rest,
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet,
while shepherds watch are keeping?
This, this is Christ the King,
whom shepherds guard and angels sing:
haste, haste to bring him laud,
the babe, the son of Mary.
2 Why lies he in such mean estate,
where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christian, fear; for sinners here
the silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spear, shall pierce him through;
the cross be borne for me, for you:
hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the babe, the son of Mary.
3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh;
come, peasant, king, to own him;
the King of kings salvation brings,
let loving hearts enthrone him.
Raise, raise the song on high,
the virgin sings her lullaby:
joy, joy for Christ is born,
the babe, the son of Mary.
