Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
see him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he!
'Tis the long-expected Prophet,
David's Son, yet David's Lord;
by his Son God now has spoken:
'tis the true and faithful Word.
2 Tell me, ye who hear him groaning,
was there ever grief like his?
Friends thro' fear his cause disowning,
foes insulting his distress;
many hands were raised to wound him,
none would interpose to save;
but the deepest stroke that pierced him
was the stroke that Justice gave.
3 Ye who think of sin but lightly
nor suppose the evil great
here may view its nature rightly,
here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the sacrifice appointed,
see who bears the awful load;
'tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed,
Son of Man and Son of God.
4 Here we have a firm foundation,
here the refuge of the lost;
Christ's the Rock of our salvation,
his the name of which we boast.
Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
who on him their hope have built.

He who on earth as man was known
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:3 Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known,
And bore our sins and pains,
Now, seated on th' eternal throne,
The God of glory reigns.
2 His hands the wheels of nature guide,
With an unerring skill,
And countless worlds, extended wide,
Obey his sovereign will.
3 While harps unnumbered sound his praise
In yonder world above,
His saints on earth admire his ways,
And glory in his love.
4 When troubles, like a burning sun,
Beat heavy on their head,
To this almighty Rock they run,
And find a pleasing shade.
5 How glorious he! how happy they,
In such a glorious Friend!
Whose love secures them all the way,
And crowns them at the end. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; At the Right Hand of the Majesty on High

Ye Choirs of New Jerusalem
Author: Fulbert of Chartres (?-1028); Robert Campbell (1814-1868) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-4 Lyrics: 1 Ye choirs of new Jerusalem,
your sweetest notes employ,
the paschal victory to hymn
in strains of holy joy.
2 For Judah's Lion bursts his chains,
crushing the serpent's head;
and cries aloud through death's domains
to wake the imprisoned dead.
3 Devouring depths of hell their prey
at his command restore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way
where Jesus goes before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now
to him all power is given;
to him in one communion bow
all saints in earth and heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
all glory to the Son,
all glory, Holy Ghost to thee,
while endless ages run. Topics: Easter (season) Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same:
the one eternal God
before what now appears,
the First, the Last, beyond all thought
his timeless years!
2 Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness;
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Behold the Lord of all:
creation speaks his praise,
and everywhere above, below,
his will obeys.
3 God's Spirit freely flows,
high surging where it will:
in prophet's word he spoke of old,
is speaking still.
Established is God's law
and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart,
on sea, on land.
4 God has eternal life
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same! Topics: Eternity of God; Faithfulness of God; Holy Spirit; Law of God; Majesty of God; Prophetic Witness; Providence; Word of God Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Jewish Yigdal c. 13th cent.

Glory beaming from his face!

once for all when thou wast slain,

Glory to God in the Highest
Before the Throne of God Above
Author: Charitie Lees DeCheney Bancroft, 1841-1923 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 1:3 Lyrics: 1 Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea;
a great High Priest whose name is Love,
who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
my name is written on his heart.
I know that while in heav'n he stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart,
no tongue can bid me thence depart.
2 When Satan tempts me to despair
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look and see him there
who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God the just is satisfied
to look on him and pardon me,
to look on him and pardon me.
3 Behold him there, the risen Lamb,
my perfect, spotless righteousness,
the great unchangeable I AM,
the King of glory and of grace.
At one with him, I cannot die;
my soul is purchased by his blood.
My life is hid with Christ on high,
with Christ my Savior and my God,
with Christ my Savior and my God. Topics: Justification Used With Tune: BEFORE THE THRONE
