Chief of Sinners Though I Be

Author: William McComb, 1793-1873 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed His blood for me. Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity! Love that found me--wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart Balm to heal the wounded heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n. Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me. All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. He sustains the hidden life Safe with Him from earthly strife. 5 O my Savior, help afford By Your Spirit and Your Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die.

Throned upon the Awe-full Tree

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awe-full tree, King of grief, I watch with Thee. Darkness veils Thine anguished face; None its lines of woe can trace, None can tell what pangs unknown Hold Thee silent and alone. 2 Silent thro' those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil pow'rs, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around Thee and within, Till th'appointed time is nigh, Till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father’s only Son, Thou, His own Anointed One. Thou dost ask Him, Can it be? “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll Darkly o’er my sinful soul, Thou, who once wast thus bereft That Thine own might ne’er be left, Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know Thee nigh. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Scripture: Mark 15:34 Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,895 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood, from thy riven side which flowed, be of sin the double cure, cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labours of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears for ever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; stained by sin, to thee I fly; wash me, Saviour, or I die. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyelids close in death, when I soar through realms unknown, see thee on thy judgement throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.
