Lord, Thy Death and Passion give

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherin Winkworth Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thy Death and Passion give Strength and comfort in my need. Every hour while here I live On Thy love my soul shall feed. Thou didst death for me endure, And I fly all thoughts impure; Thinking on Thy bitter pains, Hushed in prayer my heart remains. 2 Thy blest Cross hath power to heal All the wounds of sin and strife. Lost in Thee, my heart doth feel Sudden warmth and nobler life. In my saddest, darkest grief, Let Thy sweetness bring relief. Thou Who camest but to save, Thou Who fearest not the grave! 3 Lord, in Thee I place my trust, Thou art my Defense and Tower; Death Thou treadest in the dust, O'er my soul he hath no power. That I may have part in Thee, Help and save and comfort me; Give me, of Thy grace and might, Resurrection, life, and light! 4 Fount of good, within me dwell! For the peace Thy presence sheds Keeps us safe in conflict fell, Charms the pain from dying beds. Hide me safe within Thine arm, Where no foe can hurt or harm; Whoso, Lord, in Thee doth rest, He hath conquered, he is blest. Amen.

Thou art my hiding-place, O Lord!

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord! In Thee I put my trust, Encouraged by Thy holy Word, A feeble child of dust. I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough the Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptations beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to Thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords: My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain; Ah, what could give the sufferer rest, Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast: My Saviour died for me? 4 And when Thy awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last lingering sands, Is ebbing fast away, Then, though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak: My Saviour died for me. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: SHELTER

There came a little Child to earth

Author: Emily Elizabeth Steele Elliott Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There came a little child to earth Long ago; And the angels of God proclaimed His birth, High and low. Out on the night, so calm and still, Their song was heard; For they knew that the Child on Bethlehem’s hill Was Christ the Lord. 2 Far away in the goodly land, Fair and bright, Children with crowns of glory stand, Robed in white. They sing, the Lord of that world so fair A Child was born; And that they might His crown of glory share, Wore crown of thorn. 3 In mortal weakness, want and pain, He came to die, That the children of earth might in glory reign With Him on high. And evermore in robes so fair And undefiled, Those ransomed children His praise declare, Who was a Child. Topics: Hymns for Children Used With Tune: THERE CAME A LITTLE CHILD TO EARTH

Author: Jacques Bridaine, d. 1767; Thomas Benson Pollock Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Lord, my Master, at Thy feet adoring, I see Thee bow'd beneath Thy load of woe: For me, a sinner, is Thy life-blood pouring; For Thee, my Saviour, scarce my tears will flow. 2 Thine own disciple to the Jews has sold Thee, With friendship's kiss and loyal word he came: How oft of faithful love my lips have told Thee, While Thou hast seen my falsehood and my shame! 3 With taunts and scoffs they mock what seems Thy weakness, With blows and outrage adding pain to pain: Thou art unmoved and steadfast in Thy meekness; When I am wrong'd, how quickly I complain! 4 My Lord, my Saviour, when I see Thee wearing Upon Thy bleeding brow, the crown of thorn, Shall I for pleasure live, or shrink from bearing Whate'er my lot may be of pain or scorn? 5 O victim of Thy love! O pangs most healing! O saving death! O fruitful agonies! I pray Thee, Christ, before Thee humbly kneeling, For ever keep Thy Cross before mine eyes. Amen.
