A purple robe, a crown of thorn

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b. 1926) Hymnal: AM2013 #174 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: A PURPLE ROBE Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn, a reed in his right hand; before the soldiers' spite and scorn I see my Saviour stand. 2 He bears between the Roman guard the weight of all our woe; a stumbling figure bowed and scarred I see my Saviour go. 3 Fast to the cross's spreading span, high in the sunlit air, all the unnumbered sins of man I see my Saviour bear. 4 He hangs, by whom the world was made, beneath the darkened sky; the everlasting ransom paid, I see my Saviour die. 5 He shares on high his Father's throne, who once in mercy came; for all his love to sinners shown I sing my Saviour's name.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Hymnal: AM2013 #641a (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: ABBOT'S LEIGH Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage: grace which, like the Lord the giver, never fails from age to age? 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know.

And when human hearts are breaking under sorrow's iron rod, then they find that selfsame aching deep within the heart of God. 3 God is Love: and though with blindness sin afflicts the souls of all, God's eternal loving-kindness holds and guides us when we fall. Sin and death and hell shall never o'er us final triumph gain; God is Love, so Love for ever o'er the universe must reign.

Jesu, lover of my soul

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: AM2013 #128a (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Jesu, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah, leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find; raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name, I am all unrighteousness; false and full of sin I am, thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound, make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art: freely let me take of thee, spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity.

Body broken for our good

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Hymnal: AM2013 #428 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH Lyrics: 1 Body broken for our good, and that body's precious blood: we receive them to our shame, who dishonour Jesus' name. Every day more blood is shed; flesh is broken, left for dead. Where earth's children bleed and die, it is Christ we crucify. 2 Yet your love, God, draws us near, though unworthy to be here; we have nothing good to bring, yet you give us everything! Here you give us Christ who died, resurrected, glorified; his humanity, divine, here is ours in bread and wine. 3 In communion with this Lord, faith, hope, love are all restored; here is wealth beyond compare, wealth for all the world to share. He reclaims our every breath: all our life and even death cannot be too great a price, to complete his sacrifice. 4 Time, with energy and health, talent, poverty or wealth: all are yours, Lord, taken up in the sign of bread and cup. Though we may be broken too, and our lives poured out for you, make of us the living sign of your love in bread and wine.
