Jesus, I Will Ponder Now

Author: August Crull, 1846-1923; Sigismund von Birken, 1626-81 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #109 (1982) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Cross-bearing Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I will ponder now On your holy Passion; With your Spirit me endow For such meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of your suff'ring, pain, and death That I may not perish. 2 Make me see your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And your crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails did wound you, How you died for those, O God, Who with thorns had crowned you. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see your Passion; But its cause to me make known And its termination. For I also and my sin Brought your deep affliction; This the shameful cause has been Of your crucifixion. 4 Grant that I your Passion view With repentant grieving, Let me not bring shame to you By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Ev'ry sinful pleasure Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let your cross my fear disarm, Peace and pardon give me. Grant that I may trust in you And your holy Passion; If his Son forgives anew, God must have compassion. 6 Jesus, Lord, my heart renew, Let me bear my crosses, Learning humbleness from you, Peace despite my losses. May I give you love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heav'n above Sing your praise forever. Languages: English Tune Title: JESU KREUZ, LEIDEN UND PEIN

And from my contrite heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess: The wonder of his glorious love And my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of his face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all, the cross.
