Christ's Crucifixion

Appears in 61 hymnals First Line: Jesus drinks the bitter cup Lyrics: 1 Jesus drinks the bitter cup; The wine press treads alone, Tears the graves and mountains up, By his expiring groan: Lo! the pow'rs of heav'n he shakes, Nature in convulsion lies, Earth's profoundest center quakes, The great Jehovah dies! 2 Dies the glorious cause of all, The true eternal plan; Falls to raise us from our fall, To ransom sinful man. Well may Sol withdraw his light, With the suff'er sympathize, Leave the world in sudden night, While his Creator dies. 3 O my God, he dies for me; I feel the mortal smart! See him hanging on a tree, A sight that breaks my heart! O that all to thee might turn! Sinners, ye may love him too, Look on him ye pierc'd, and mourn, For him who bled for you. 4 Weep o'er your desire and hope With tears of humblest love; Sing, for Jesus is gone up, And reigns enthron'd above; Lives our head to die no more Pow'r is all to Jesus given, Worship'd as he was before, Th' immortal King of heav'n.

For One under Temptation

Appears in 3,220 hymnals First Line: Jesu, lover of my soul 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 stay'd, All mine help from thee I bring, Cover my defenseless 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! Vile 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 mine heart, Rise to all eternity!

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, Now the promis'd kingdom's come. 6 View him smiling, now deterimined Ev'ry evil to destroy; All the nations now shall sing him, Songs of everlasting joy. O come quickly, O come quickly, O come quickly, Hallelujah, come Lord, come.

Author: William Hammond Appears in 808 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord we come before thee now, At thy feet we humbly bow: Oh! do not our suit disdain, Shall we seek thee Lord, in vain. 2 Lord, on thee our souls depend, In compassion now descend: Fill our hearts with thy rich grace, Tune our lips to sing thy praise. 3 In thine own appointed way, Now we seek thee – here we stay, Lord, we know not how to go, Till a blessing thou bestow. 4 Send some message from thy word, That may joy and peace afford; Let thy spirit now impart Full salvation to each heart. 5 Comfort those who weep and mourn, Let the time of joy return; Those that are cast down lift up, Make them strong in faith and hope. 6 Grant that all may seek and find Thee a God sincere and kind; Heal the sick, the captive free, Let us all rejoice in thee.

Lord, when my thoughts with wonder roll

Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my thoughts with wonder roll O'er the sharp sorrows of my soul, And read my maker's broken laws, Repair'd and honour'd by thy cross: When I behold death, hell, and sin, Vanquish'd by that dear blood of thine, And see the man that groan'd and dy'd Sit glorious by his father's side; 2 My passions rise and soar above, I'm wing'd with faith and fir'd with love; Fain would I reach celestial things, And learn the notes that Gabriel sings: But my heart fails, my tongue complains, For want of their immortal strains; And in such humble notes as these Must fall below thy victories.

Breathing after Holiness

Appears in 1,863 hymnals First Line: Love divine, all love excelling Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down! Fix in us thine humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown; Jesus! thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love thou art, Visit us with thy salvation, Enter ev'ry trembling heart! 2 Breathe! O breathe thy lovely spirit Into ev'ry troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit, Let us find the promis'd rest; Take away the power of sinning, Alpha and Omega be, End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come! Almighty to deliver, Let us all thy life receive! Suddenly return, and never, Never more thy temples leave! Thee we would be always blessing, Serve thee as thy hosts above, Pray, and praise thee without ceasing, Glory in thy precious love. 4 Finish then thy new creation, Pure, unspotted may we be, Let us see thy great salvation, Perfectly restor'd by thee! Chang'd from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love and praise!

CHRIST on the Treee

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Mourn, mourn, ye Saints who once did see Lyrics: 1 Mourn, mourn, ye Saints, who once did see Our Saviour dear nail'd to the tree: A bitter death he did endure, To save the souls of men secure. 2 Oh, how his purple streams did flow! His blood on man he did bestow; With hands and feet nail'd to the wood, And pierced side ran down with blood. 3 What wisdom can conceive or know, What tongue or pen can truly show The vast dimensions of his love, Or show his pow'r in heav'n above? 4 To God be praise and worship done, For giving us his only Son; Let's tune our souls, and let him adore In hallelujahs evermore.

O God of good, the unfathomed sea

Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of good th' unfathom'd sea, Who would not give his heart to thee? Who would not love thee with his might? O Jesus lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind, With all his strength to thee unite? Thou shin'st with everlasting rays; Before th' insufferable blaze Angels with both wings veil their eyes: Yet free as air thy bounty streams On all thy works; thy mercy's beams Diffusive as thy sun's arise. 2 Astonish'd at thy frowning brow, Earth, hell, and Heav'n's strong pillars bow, Terrible majesty is thine! Who then can that vast love express, Which bows thee down to me, who less Than nothing am, till thou art mine! High thron'd on heav'n's eternal hill, In number, weight, and measure still Thou sweetly orderst all that is: And yet thou diegn'st to come to me, And guide my steps, that I with thee Enthron'd, may reign in endless bliss! 3 Fountain of food all Blessing flows From thee, no want thy fulness knows, What but thyself canst thou desire? Yes, self-sufficient as thou art, Thou dost desire my worthless heart, This only this thou dost require! Primeval beauty! in thy sight The first born, fairest sons of light, See all their brightest glories fade What then to me thine eyes could turn, In sin conceiv'd, of woman born, A worm, a leaf, a blast, a shade? 4 Hell's armies tremble at thy nod, And trembling own th' almighty God, Sov'reign of earth, air, hell and sky! But who is this that comes from far, Whose garments roll'd in blood appear? 'Tis God made man for man to die! O God of food th' unfathom'd sea, Who would not give his heart to thee? Who would not love thee with his might? O Jesus lover of mankind, Who would not his whole soul and mind With all his strength to the unite?
