Author: Robert Grant, 1779 - 1838 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 442 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to thee Low we bend the adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies, Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; O by all thy pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany! 2 By thy helpless infant years, By thy life of want and tears, By thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's power; Turn, O turn a favoring eye, Hear our solemn litany! A-men. 3 By thine hour of dire despair, By thine agony of prayer; By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, the torturing scorn; By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice; Listen to our humble cry, Hear our solemn litany! 4 By thy deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God; O from earth to heaven restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Listen, listen to the cry Of our solemn litany! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent; The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: SPANISH HYMN

Christ The Lord Is Risen Today

Author: Jane E. Leeson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today, Christians, haste your vows to pay; Offer ye your praises meet At the Paschal Victim's feet. For the sheep the Lamb hath bled, Sinless in the sinner's stead; Christ is ris'n today, we cry: Now He lives, no more to die. 2 Christ, the Victim undefiled, Man to God hath reconciled, When, in strange and awful strife, Met together death and life. Christians, on this happy day, Haste with joy your vows to pay; Christ is ris'n today, we cry: Now He lives, no more to die. 3 Christ, who once for sinners bled, Now the first-born from the dead, Throned in endless might and pow'r, Lives and reigns for evermore. Hail, eternal Hope on high! Hail, Thou King of victory! Hail, Thou Prince of life adored! Help and save us, gracious Lord! Amen.

Lord, I Lift My Soul to Thee

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, I lift my soul to thee, O my God, I trust thy might; let not foes exult o'er me, shame me not before their sight. Yea, may none be put to shame, none who wait for thee to bless; but dishonored be their name who without a cause transgress. 2 Lord, to me thy ways make known, guide in truth and teach thou me; thou my Savior art alone, all the day I wait for thee. Lord, remember in thy love all thy mercies manifold, tender mercies from above, changeless from the days of old. 3 Sins of youth remember not, nor my trespasses record; let not mercy be forgot, for thy goodness' sake, O Lord. Just and good the Lord abides, he his way will sinners show, he the meek in justice guides, making them his way to know.

What Good News The Angels Bring

Author: William Hammond Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What good news the angels bring, What glad tidings of our king! Christ the Lord is born today, Christ, who takes our sins away! He who rules both Heav’n and earth, Hath in Bethlehem His birth; Him shall all the people see, And rejoice eternally. 2 Lift your hearts and voices high, With hosannas fill the sky; "Glory be to God above," Who is infinite in love! "Peace on earth, good will to men!" Now with us our God is seen; Angels, join with us in praise! Help to sing redeeming grace. 3 Now the wall is broken down, Now the Gospel is made known; Now the door is open wide, Christ for Jew and Gentile died; All who feel the weight of sin, All who languish to be clean; All who for redemption groan, May be saved by faith alone. 4 Jesus is the lovely name: This the angel doth proclaim; He shall all His people save, They in Him remission have; When they see themselves undone, They take refuge in the Son; They shall all be born again, And with Him in glory reign. 5 Shout, ye nations of the earth, Sing the triumphs of His birth; All the world by Him is blest, Sound His praise from east to west; Jews and Gentiles jointly sing, Christ our common Lord and king; Christ, our life, our joy, our song, To eternity prolong!

O, how joyful it will be When our Savior we shall see! When in splendor He’ll descend, Then all wickedness shall end. O what songs we then will sing To our Savior, Lord and King! O what love will then bear sway, When our fears shall flee away! 3. All arrayed in spotless white, We will dwell ’mid truth and light. We will sing the songs of praise; We will shout in joyous lays. Earth shall then be cleansed from sin. Every living thing therein Shall in love and beauty dwell; Then with joy each heart will swell. Used With Tune: MADRID
