On the Passion
Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #153a (1844) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ First Line: Come, all ye chosen saints of God Lyrics: 1 Come, all ye chosen saints of God,
That long to feel the cleansing blood,
In pensive pleasure join with me,
To sing of sad Gethsemane.
2 [Gethsemane, the olive press!
(And why so called, let Christians guess;)
Fit name! fit place! where vengeance strove,
And griped and grappled hard with love.]
3 ’Twas here the Lord of life appeared,
And sighed, and groaned, and prayed, and feared;
Bore all incarnate God could bear,
With strength enough, and none to spare.
4 The powers of hell united pressed,
And squeezed his heart and bruised his breast;
What dreadful conflicts raged within,
When sweat and blood forced through the skin!
5 [Dispatched from heaven an angel stood,
Amazed to find him bathed in blood;
Adored by angels, and obeyed,
But lower now than angels made.
6 He stood to strengthen, not to fight;
Justice exacts its utmost mite,
This Victim vengeance will pursue;
He undertook, and must go through.]
7 [Three favoured servants, left not far,
Were bid to wait and watch the war;
But Christ withdrawn, what watch we keep!
To shun the sight, they sank in sleep.]
8 Backwards and forwards thrice he ran,
As if he sought some help from man;
Or wished, at least, they would condole
(’Twas all they could) his tortured soul.
9 [Whate’er he sought for, there was none;
Our Captain fought the field alone;
Soon as the Chief to battle led,
That moment every soldier fled.]
10 Mysterious conflict! dark disguise!
Hid from all creatures’ peering eyes;
Angels, astonished, viewed the scene;
And wonder yet what all could mean.
11 O Mount of Olives, sacred grove!
O Garden, scene of tragic love!
What bitter herbs thy beds produce!
How rank their scent, how harsh their juice!
12 [Rare virtues now these herbs contain;
The Saviour sucked out all their bane;
My mouth with these if conscience cram,
I’ll eat them with the paschal Lamb.]
13 O Kedron, gloomy brook, how foul
Thy black, polluted waters roll!
No tongue can tell, but some can taste,
The filth that into thee was cast.
14 In Eden’s garden there was food
Of every kind for man while good;
But banished thence we fly to thee,
O garden of Gethsemane.

Once more, my Soul, the rising Day
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.VI (1766) Topics: Mortification by the Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Once more my Soul, the rising Day
Salutes thy waking Eyes;
Once more, my Voice, thy Tribute pay
To him that Rules the Skies.

The Day renews the Sound,
Wide as the Heav'n on which he sits
To turn the Seasons round.
3 'Tis he supports my mortal Frame,
My Tongue shall speak his Praise;
My Sins would rouze his Wrath to Flame,
And yet his Wrath delays.
[4 On a poor Worm thy Pow'r might tread,
And I could ne'er withstand;
Thy Justice might have crush'd me dead,
But Mercy held thine Hand.
5 A Thousand wretched Souls are fled
Since the last setting Sun,
And yet thou length'nest out my Thread,
And yet my Moments run.]
6 Dear God, let all my Hours be thine,
Whilst I enjoy thy Light,
Then shall my Sun in Smiles decline,
And bring a pleasing Night.

Great God, to talk to thee;
If in thy presence can be room
For crawling worms like me;
I humbly would my wish present,
For wishes I have none;
All my desires are now content
To be comprised in one.
2 The single boon I would entreat
Is, to be led by thee
To gaze upon thy bloody sweat
In sad Gethsemane.
To view (as I could bear at least)
Thy tender, broken heart,
Like a rich olive, bruised and pressed
With agonising smart.
3 [To see thee bowed beneath my guilt;
(Intolerable load!)
To see thy blood for sinners spilt,
My groaning, gasping God!
With sympathising grief to mourn
The sorrows of thy soul:
The pangs and tortures by thee borne
In some degree condole.]
4 There musing on thy mighty love,
I always would remain;
Or but to Golgotha remove,
And thence return again.
In each dear place the same rich scene
Should ever be renewed;
No object else should intervene,
But all be love and blood.
5 For this one favour oft I’ve sought;
And if this one be given,
I seek on earth no happier lot,
And hope the like in heaven.
Lord, pardon what I ask amiss,
For knowledge I have none;
I do but humbly speak my wish;
And may thy will be done. Languages: English

That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed 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 But when this lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then, in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing thy power to save. Languages: English

So dazzling his beauties appear,
His charms so transcendently blaze,
The sight is too melting to bear.
When from my own vileness I turn
To Jesus exposed on the tree,
With shame and with wonder I burn,
To think what he suffered for me.
2 [My sins, O how black they appear,
When in that dear bosom they meet!
Those sins were the nails and the spear
That wounded his hands and his feet.
’Twas justice that wreathed for his head
The thorns that encircled it round;
Thy temples, Immanuel, bled,
That mine might with glory be crowned.]
3 The wonderful love of his heart,
Where he has recorded my name,
On earth can be known but in part;
Heaven only can bear the full flame.
In rivers of sorrow it flowed,
And flowed in those rivers for me,
My sins are all drowned in his blood;
My soul is both happy and free. Languages: English

What a garden-scene is there!
What a frightful, ghastly flood!
Jesus weltering in his blood!
2 Groaning on the ground he lies;
Seems a slaughtered sacrifice!
Tells me, with a feeble breath,
“Sorrowful, yea, unto death!”
3 [How his eyes astonished are!
Sure they witness conflict near!
On his face what sadness dwells!
Sure he feels a thousand hells!]
4 O my Jesus, let me know
What has brought this heavy woe;
Swords are piercing through thy heart;
Whence arose the torturing smart?
5 “Sinner, thou hast done the deed;
Thou hast made the Saviour bleed!
Justice drew its sword on me!
Pierced my heart to pass by thee!
6 “Now I take the deadly cup;
All its dregs am drinking up;
Read my anguish in my gore;
Look, and pierce my heart no more.”
7 O thou bleeding love divine,
What are other loves to thine?
Theirs a drop, and thine a sea,
Ever full, and ever free!
8 If I loved my Lord before,
I would love him ten times more;
Drop into his sea outright,
Lose myself in Jesus quite. Scripture: Acts 17:3 Languages: English
What a doleful voice I hear!

Give us faith thy works to trace;
Heavenly Warrior, may we never
From thee turn away our face;
May we view thee,
Standing in our wretched place.
2 Armed with wrath and righteous vengeance,
Justice once unsheathed its sword;
Death and hell were its attendants,
And Jehovah gave the word:
“Smite the Shepherd;
Let my wrath on him be poured.”
3 All obeyed with fixed attention,
And in dreadful troops drew near;
Horrors we can never mention
Seized our Lord and Saviour there;
Armed with vengeance,
Free from either dread or fear.
4 Gaze, ye Christians, gaze and wonder;
See the mighty Hero fight;
He has burst their bands asunder,
And completely spoiled their might,
Yes, this Warrior,
Put the hosts of hell to flight.
5 Now the battle’s fought and gainèd;
Jesus, our victorious Lord,
Rushed into the hosts, and stainèd
All his garments in their blood;
But he conquered,
And redeemed the church to God. Scripture: Zechariah 13:7 Languages: English
O thou mighty God and Saviour
Nature with all her Pow'rs shall sing
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.I (1766) Topics: Mortification by the Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Nature, with all her Pow'rs shall sing
God the Creator and the King:
Nor Air, nor Earth, nor Skies, nor Seas,
Deny the Tribute of their Praise.
[2 Begin to make his Glories known,
Ye Seraphs that sit near his Throne;
Tune your Harps high, and spread the Sound
To the Creation's utmost Bound.]
[3 All mortal Things of meaner Frame,
Exert your Force, and own his Name:
Whilst with our Souls, and with our Voice,
We sing his Honours and our Joys.]
[4 To him be sacred all we have,
From the young Cradle to the Grave:
Our Lips shall his loud Wonders tell,
And ev'ry Word a Miracle.]
[5 This Northern Isle, our native Land;
Lies safe in God th' Almighty's Hand;
Our Foes of Vict'ry dream in vain,
And wear the captivating Chain.
6 He builds and guards the British Throne,
And makes it gracious like his own;
Makes our successive Princes kind,
And gives our Dangers to the Wind.]
7 Raise monumental Praises high
To him that thunders through the Sky,
And with an awful Nod or Frown
Shakes an aspiring Tyrant down.
[8 Pillars of lasting Brass proclaim
The Triumphs of th' Eternal Name;
While trembling Nations read from far
The Honours of the God of War.]
9 Thus let our flaming Zeal employ
Our loftiest Thoughts and loudest Songs;
Britain, pronounce with warmest Joy
Hosanna from Ten Thousand Tongues.
10 Yet, mighty God, our feeble Frame
Attempts in vain to reach thy Name;
The strongest Notes that Angels raise,
Faint in the Worship and the Praise. Languages: English
Nature with all her Pow'rs shall sing
My heart, how dreadful hard it is!
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XCVIII (1766) Topics: Conviction of Sin by the Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 My Heart, how dreadful hard it is!
How heavy here it lies,
Heavy and cold within my Breast,
Just like a Rock of Ice!
2 Sin, like a raging Tyrant, sits
Upon this flinty Throne,
And ev'ry Grace lies bury'd deep
Beneath this Heart of Stone.
3 How seldom do I rise to God,
Or taste the Joys above?
This Mountain presses down my Faith,
And chills my flaming Love.
4 When smiling Mercy courts my Soul
With all its heav'nly Charms,
This stubborn, this relentless Thing
Would thrust it from my Arms.
5 Against the Thunders of thy Word,
Rebellious I have stood;
My Heart! it shakes not at the Wrath
And Terrors of a God.
6 Dear Saviour, steep this Rock of mine
In thine own Crimson Sea!
None but a Bath of Blood divine
Can melt the Flint away. Languages: English
My heart, how dreadful hard it is!

His Thought
And why, dear Saviour, tell me why
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #153b (1844) Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 And why, dear Saviour, tell me why,
Thou thus would’st suffer, bleed and die;
What mighty motive could thee move?
The motive’s plain; ’twas all for love.
2 For love of whom? Of sinners base,
A hardened herd, a rebel race;
That mocked and trampled on thy blood,
And wantoned with the wounds of God.
3 [When rocks and mountains rent with dread;
And gaping graves gave up their dead;
When the fair sun withdrew his light,
And hid his head, to shun the sight;
4 Then stood the wretch of human race,
And raised his head and showed his face,
Gazed unconcerned when nature failed,
And scoffed, and sneered, and cursed, and railed.]
5 Harder than rocks and mountains are,
More dull than dirt and earth by far,
Man viewed unmoved thy blood’s rich stream,
Nor ever dreamed it flowed for him.
6 [Such was the race of sinful men,
That gained that great salvation then;
Such, and such only, still we see;
Such they were all; and such are we.
7 The Jews with thorns his temples crowned,
And lashed him when his hands were bound;
But thorns, and knotted whips, and bands
By us were furnished to their hands.
8 They nailed him to the accursèd tree;
(They did, my brethren; so did we);
The soldier pierced his side, ’tis true,
But we have pierced him through and through.]
9 O love of unexampled kind!
That leaves all thought so far behind;
Where length, and breadth, and depth, and height
Are lost to my astonished sight.
10 For love of me, the Son of God
Drained every drop of vital blood.
Long time I after idols ran;
But now my God’s a martyred Man. Languages: English
And why, dear Saviour, tell me why
Much we talk of Jesus' blood
Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #154 (1844) Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Much we talk of Jesus’ blood;
But how little’s understood!
Of his sufferings so intense,
Angels have no perfect sense.
Who can rightly comprehend
Their beginning or their end?
’Tis to God, and God alone,
That their weight is fully known.
2 [O thou hideous monster, Sin,
What a curse hast thou brought in!
All creation groans through thee,
Pregnant cause of misery.
Thou hast ruined wretched man,
Ever since the world began;
Thou hast God afflicted too;
Nothing less than that would do.
3 Would we then rejoice indeed?
Be it that from thee we’re freed;
And our justest cause to grieve
Is that thou wilt to us cleave.
Faith relieves us from thy guilt,
But we think whose blood was spilt;
All we hear, or feel, or see,
Serves to raise our hate to thee.]
4 Dearly we are bought, for God
Bought us with his own heart’s blood;
Boundless depths of love divine!
Jesus, what a love was thine!
Though the wonders thou hast done
Are as yet so little known,
Here we fix and comfort take –
Jesus died for sinners’ sake. Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Languages: English
Much we talk of Jesus' blood
