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: Matthew 27:29 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! Yet, though despised and gory, I claim you as my own. 2 My Lord, what you did suffer was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain. 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: Matthew 27:45 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.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,989 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:29 Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them through his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior’s love to me; Love to the loveless shown, That they might lovely be. O who am I, that for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the way Hosannas to their King: Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, And for His death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He mad the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! is all their breath, Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they saved, The Prince of life they slay, Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, That He His foes from thence might free.

To Mock Your Reign, O Dearest Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:27-31 Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns; set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown; that thorns would flower upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak; your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all.

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 509 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:28-29 Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns Iis crowned with glory now; a royal diadem adorns the mighty Victor’s brow. 2 The highest place that heav'n affords is his, is his by right, the King of kings and Lord of lords, and heav'n’s eternal light-- 3 the joy of all who dwell above, the joy of all below, to whom he manifests his love, and grants his name to know. 4 To them the cross with all its shame, with all its grace, is giv'n, their name, an everlasting name, their joy, the joy of heav'n. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, they reign with him above, their profit and their joy to know the mystery of his love. 6 The cross he bore is life and health, though shame and death to him; his people's hope, his people's wealth, their everlasting theme!

[Refrain] 3 Will you evade Him as Pilate tried? Or will you choose Him, whate’er betide? Vainly you struggle from Him to hide: What will you do with Jesus?
