O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander; Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153) Hymnal: The Hymnbook #194 (1955) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Christ Atonement; Christ Atonement; Jesus Christ His Passion and Atonement Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded,
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 Saviour!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 53:5 Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE
O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Utter helplessness
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #220 (1890) Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Needed; Atonement Necessary; Atonement Necessary First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Nor all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.
2 The sovereign will of God alone
Creates us heirs of grace;
Born is the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.
Languages: English Tune Title: HUMMEL

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #221 (1890) Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Needed; Atonement Necessary; Atonement Necessary First Line: How sad our state by nature is! Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is!
Our sin how deep it stains!
And Satan holds our captive minds
Fast in his slavish chains.
2 But there's a voice of sovereign grace,
Sounds from the sacred word;
"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust a pardoning Lord."
3 My soul obeys the almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord;
Oh, help my unbelief!
4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Saviour and my All. Languages: English
The Soul ruined
The load of Sin
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #222 (1890) Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Needed; Atonement Necessary; Atonement Necessary First Line: How helpless guilty nature lies Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies,
Unconscious of its load!
The heart, unchanged, can never rise
To happiness and God.
2 Can aught, beneath a power divine,
The stubborn will subdue?
'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine,
To form the heart anew.
3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall,
And upward bid them rise;
To make the scales of error fall
From reason's darkened eyes;
4 To chase the shades of death away,
And bid the sinner live;
A beam of heaven, a vital ray,
'Tis thine alone to give.
5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours,
And give them life divine;
Then shall our passions and our powers,
Almighty Lord! be thine. Languages: English Tune Title: BALERMA

On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ the heavenly Lamb
Takes all our sins away,
A sacrifice of nobler name
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens thou didst bear,
When hanging on the cursed tree,
And hopes her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing his dying love. Languages: English Tune Title: GORTON

Rest for the weary soul?
'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh:
'Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.
4 There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the fleeting breath:
Oh, what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death!
5 Lord God of truth and grace!
Teach us that death to shun;
Lest we be banished from thy face,
And evermore undone. Languages: English Tune Title: SHAWMUT

Awake, ye saints, each joyful string.
3 The cross hath power to save
From all the foes that rise;
The cross hath made the grave
A passage to the skies;
The triumphs of the cross we sing;
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string. Languages: English

That saved a wretch like me!

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the vail
A life of joy and peace.
5 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be for ever mine. Languages: English Tune Title: ARLINGTON

Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.

That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be, till I die.
5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave. Languages: English Tune Title: FOUNTAIN

The Father
Author: Thomas Binney Hymnal: Laudes Domini #240 (1890) Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Provided; Atonement Completed; Atonement Completed First Line: Eternal Light! eternal Light! Lyrics: 1 Eternal Light! eternal Light!
How pure the soul must be,
When, placed within thy searching sight,
It shrinks not, but, with calm delight
Can live, and look on thee!
2 The spirits that surround thy throne,
May bear the burning bliss;
But that is surely theirs alone,
Since they have never, never known
A fallen world like this.
3 There is a way for man to rise
To that sublime abode:
An offering and a sacrifice,
A Holy Spirit's energies,
An advocate with God.
4 These, these prepare us for the sight
Of holiness above:
The sons of ignorance and night
May dwell in the eternal Light,
Through the eternal Love! Languages: English Tune Title: NAUMANN
