O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 724 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-6 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, your only crown. O sacred head, what glory and blessing you have known!

So here I kneel, my Savior, for I deserve your place; look on me with your favor and save me by your grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this, your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours forever, a loyal servant true, and let me never, never outlive my love for you.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,299 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide and shut its glories in when Christ, the mighty Maker, died for his own 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.

Hymn 141

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 53:1-5 First Line: Who has believed thy word Lyrics: Who has believed thy word, Or thy salvation known? Reveal thine arm, Almighty Lord, And glorify thy Son. The Jews esteemed him here Too mean for their belief; Sorrows his chief acquaintance were, And his companion, grief. They turned their eyes away, And treated him with scorn; But 'twas their grief upon him lay, Their sorrows he has borne. 'Twas for the stubborn Jews, And Gentiles then unknown, The God of justice pleased to bruise His best-beloved Son. "But I'll prolong his days, And make his kingdom stand; My pleasure," saith the God of grace, "Shall prosper in his hand." ["His joyful soul shall see The purchase of his pain And by his knowledge justify The guilty sons of men.] ["Ten thousand captive slaves, Released from death and sin, Shall quit their prisons and their graves And own his power divine.] ["Heav'n shall advance my Son To joys that earth denied; Who saw the follies men had done, And bore their sins, and died."]

All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven, Reconciled are we with God. 3 Jesus, hail! Enthroned in glory, There forever to abide; All the heav'nly host adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-6 First Line: Stricken, smitten and afflicted 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; Proofs I see sufficient of it: '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. Amen.
