Zion, to thy Savior singing

Author: Thomas Aquinas Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #311 (1913) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: The Church Year Holy Thursday; The Church Year Holy Thursday Lyrics: 1 Zion, to thy Savior singing, To thy prince and shepherd bringing Sweetest hymns of love and praise, Thou wilt never reach the measure Of His worth, by all the treasure Of thy most ecstatic lays. 2 Of all wonders that can thrill thee, And with adoration fill thee, What than this can greater be, That Himself to thee He giveth? He that eateth ever liveth, For the Bread of life is He. 3 Fill thy lips to overflowing With sweet praise, His mercy showing Who this heavenly table spread: On this day so glad and holy, To each longing spirit lowly Giveth He the living bread. 4 Here the King hath spread His table, Whereon eyes of faith are able Christ our Passover to trace: Shadows of the law are going, Light and life and truth inflowing, Night to day is giving place. 5 Lo, this blessed food descending Heavenly love is hither sending. Hungry lips on earth to feed: So the paschal lamb was given, So the manna came from heaven, Isaac was His type indeed. 6 O good Shepherd, bread life-giving, Us, Thy grace and life receiving, Feed and shelter evermore; Thou on earth our weakness guiding, We in heaven with Thee abiding With all saints will Thee adore.

Author: I.

What wondrous words of grace He spake! 3 "This is my body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food:" Then took the cup, and blessed the wine; "’Tis the new covenant in my blood." 4 "Do this," He said, "till time shall end, In memory of your dying Friend Meet at my table and record The love of your departed Lord." 5 Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate; We show Thy death, we sing Thy name, Till Thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb.

Tune Title: [The Lord of might, from Sinai's brow]

Cowper Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #314 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Year Good Friday; The Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins, And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see 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 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor, lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

O sacred Head, now wounded

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #315 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Good Friday; The Church Year Good Friday 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 I see Thy strength and vigor All fading in the strife, And death with cruel rigor Bereaving Thee of life; O agony of dying! O love to sinners free! Jesus, all grace supplying, O turn thy face on me. 3 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 Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 4 In this Thy bitter passion, Good Shepherd, think of me With Thy most sweet compassion, Unworthy though I be: Beneath Thy cross abiding Forever would I rest, In Thy dear love confiding, And with Thy presence blest. 5 The joy can ne'er be spoken, Above all joys beside, When in Thy body broken I thus with safety hide: My Lord of Life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside the cross expiring, I'd breathe my soul to Thee. 6 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 for Thee. 7 And when I am departing, O part not Thou from me; When mortal pangs are darting, Come, Lord, and set me free: And when my heart must languish Amidst the final throe, Release me from mine anguish, By thine own pain and woe. 8 Be near me when I'm dying O show Thy crows to me; And to my succor flying, Come, Lord, and set me free: These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus shall not move; For he who dies believing, Dies safely, through Thy love.

See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word,the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God! 3 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. 4 Lamb of God for sinners wounded!

O world, behold! upon the tree

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #317 (1913) Topics: The Church Year Good Friday; The Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 O world, behold! upon the tree Thy Life is hanging now for thee: Thy Savior yields His dying breath. The mighty Prince of glory now For thee doth unresisting bow To cruel stripes, to scorn and death. 2 Alas! my Savior, who could dare Bid Thee such bitter anguish bear? What evil heart ill-treat Thee thus? For Thou art good, hast wrongéd none, As we and ours too oft have done; Thou hast not sinner, dear Lord, like us. 3 My grievous sins, the number more Than yonder sands upon the shore, Have brought to pass this agony: 'Tis I have caused the floods of woe That now Thy soul in death o'erflow, And those sad hearts that watch by Thee. 4 'Tis I to whom these pains belong; 'Tis I should suffer for my wrong, Bound hand and foot in heavy chains: Thy scourge, Thy fetters, whatsoe'er Thou bearest, 'tis my soul should bear, For I have well deserved such pains. 5 Lord, from Thy sorrows I will learn How fiercely wrath divine doth burn, How terribly its thunders roll; How sorely this our loving God Can smite with His avenging rod; How deep His floods o'erwhelm the soul. 6 And I will nail me to Thy cross, And learn to count all things but dross, Wherein the flesh doth pleasure take; Whate'er is hateful in thine eyes, With all the strength that in me lies, Will I cast from me and forsake. 7 Thy heavy groans, Thy bitter sighs, The tears that from Thy dying eyes Were shed when Thou wast sore oppressed, Shall be with me, when at the last Myself on Thee I wholly cast, And enter with Thee into rest.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #318 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Year Good Friday; The Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creatures' sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness! And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do. Tune Title: [Alas! and did my Savior bleed]

Of my death the death also; Who hast given Thyself to ease us From our load of guilt and woe: By Thy death our ransom buying, And preserving us from dying, Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 2 O what cruel provocations, Scourges of the tongue and rod, Spitting, shame, and accusations, Hast Thou borne, Thou Son of God! To redeem my soul from evil, And the bondage of the devil, Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee! Blessed Jesus! ever be. 3 Thou didst let Thyself be beaten, To deliver me from pain; Falsely charged, and sorely smitten, That Thy loss might be my gain. Thou hast suffered crucifixion For my comfort in affliction: Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 4 For my proud and haughty spirit, Thy humiliation paid; For my death Thy death and merit Have a full atonement made: Thy reproaches and dishonor all have tended to my honor: Thousand, thousand thanks to Thee, Blessed Jesus! ever be. 5 From the heart, I thank Thee, Jesus, For the vast, stupendous load, Which Thou bearest to release us From the dreadful wrath of God: For Thy cruel death and passion, Agony and sore temptation, For Thy sharp and bitter pain, Thanks forever, Lord, Amen. Tune Title: [Of my life the life, O Jesus!]
