Author: Rev. Thos. B. Pollock Appears in 74 hymnals Matching Instances: 74 First Line: Jesu, in Thy dying woes Lyrics: Part I: "Father, forgive them: for thy know not what they do." 1 Jesu, in Thy dying woes, Even while Thy life-blood flows, Craving pardon for Thy foes: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 Saviour, for our pardon sue, When our sins Thy pangs renew, For we know not what we do: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 Oh, may we, who mercy need, Be like Thee in heart and deed, When with wrong our spirits bleed: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Part II "To-day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise." 1 Jesu, pitying the sighs Of the thief, who near Thee dies, Promising him Paradise: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 May we,in our guilt and shame, Still Thy love and mercy claim, Calling humbly on Thy Name: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 Oh, remember us who pine, Looking from our cross to Thine; Cheer our souls with hope divine: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Part III "Woman, behold thy son! Behold thy mother!" 1 Jesu, loving to the end Her whose heart Thy sorrows rend, And Thy dearest human friend: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 May we in Thy sorrows share, And for Thee all peril dare, And enjoy Thy tender care: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 May we all Thy loved ones be, All one holy family, Loving for the love of Thee: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Part IV "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" 1 Jesu, whelmed in fears unknown, With our evil left alone, While no light from heaven is shown: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 When we vainly seem to pray, And our hopes seem far away, In the darkness be our stay: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 Though no Father seem to hear, Though no light our spirits cheer, Tell our faith that God is near: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Part V "I thirst." 1 Jesu, in Thy thirst and pain, While Thy wounds Thy life-blood drain, Thirsting more our love to gain: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 Thirst for us in mercy still; All Thy holy work fulfill: Satisfy Thy loving will: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 May we thirst Thy love to know; Lead us in our sin and woe Where the healing waters flow: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Part VI "It is finished." 1 Jesu, all our ransom paid, All Thy Father's will obeyed; By Thy sufferings perfect made: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 Save us in our soul's distress; Be our help to cheer and bless, While we grow in holiness: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 Brighten all our heavenward way, With an ever holier ray, Till we pass to perfect day: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Part VII "Father, into Thy hands I commit My spirit" 1 Jesu, all Thy labor vast, All Thy woe and conflict past; Yielding up Thy soul at last: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 2 When the death shades round us lower, Guard us from the tempter's power, Keep us in that trial hour: Hear us, Holy Jesu. 3 May Thy life and death supply Grace to live and grace to die, Grace to reach the home on high: Hear us, Holy Jesu. Amen. Used With Tune: [Jesu, in Thy dying woes]

Thomas Benson Pollock

1836 - 1896 Person Name: Rev. Thos. B. Pollock Author of "Jesu, in Thy dying woes (The Words On The Cross)" in The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 Pollock, Thomas Benson, M.A., was born in 1836, and graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1859, M.A. 1863, where he also gained the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English Verse in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1861, he was Curate of St. Luke's, Leek, Staffordshire; St. Thomas's, Stamford Hill, London; and St. Alban's, Birmingham. Mr. Pollock is a most successful writer of metrical Litanies. His Metrical Litanies for Special Services and General Use, Mowbray, Oxford, 1870, and other compositions of the same kind contributed subsequently to various collections, have greatly enriched modern hymnbooks. To the 1889 Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient & Modern, Mr. Pollock contributed two hymns, “We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save" (Soldiers of Christ), and "We have not known Thee as we ought" (Seeking God), but they are by no means equal to his Litanies in beauty and finish. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Pollock, T.

Arthur Sullivan

1842 - 1900 Person Name: Sir A. Sullivan Composer of "[Jesus, in Thy dying woes]" in Songs of the Covenant Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas. Bert Polman
