A purple robe, a crown of thorn
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: John 19 Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn,
a reed in his right hand;
before the soldiers' spite and scorn
I see my Saviour stand.
2 He bears between the Roman guard
the weight of all our woe;
a stumbling figure bowed and scarred
I see my Saviour go.
3 Fast to the cross's spreading span,
high in the sunlit air,
all the unnumbered sins of man
I see my Saviour bear.
4 He hangs, by whom the world was made,
beneath the darkened sky;
the everlasting ransom paid,
I see my Saviour die.
5 He shares on high his Father's throne,
who once in mercy came;
for all his love to sinners shown
I sing my Saviour's name. Topics: Atonement; Church Year Good Friday; Good Friday; Jesus Name Used With Tune: A PURPLE ROBE

This Is the Night
Author: Peter Abélard; Richard Lyman Sturch Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 18, 19:1-41 First Line: This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping,
when powers of darkness overcome the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.
2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold,
betrays himself into his victim’s will,
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing:
sin brings about the cure for sin’s own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hand to treason’s,
and buys the ransom-price of humankind.
4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested,
he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,
that judgment on the righteous Judge begin.
5 O make us sharers, Savior, of your Passion,
that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter’s laughter and its liberty. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: MY NEIGHBOR

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 5.5.10.6.5.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 19:41-42 Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark,
holy, hidden God,
rolling cloud of night beyond all naming,
majesty in darkness,
energy of love,
Word in flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark
Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o’er the world’s creation,
silken sheen of midnight
plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark,
shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation,
Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark
coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning.
Never was that midnight
touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark
depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory,
holy, haunting beauty,
living, loving God.
