Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane Hymnal: VU1996 #135 (1996) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand: the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land, a home within the wilderness, a rest upon the way, from the burning of the noontide heat and the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus my eyes at times can see the very dying form of one who suffered there for me; and from my smitten heart with tears two wonders I confess, the wonder of his glorious love, and my unworthiness. 3 I take, O cross, your shadow for my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face; content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss, my sinful self my only shame, my glory all, the cross.

O Come and Mourn with Me Awhile

Author: Frederick William Faber Hymnal: VU1996 #136 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O come and mourn with me awhile; O come now to the Saviour's side; O come, together let us mourn: Jesus, our Love, is crucified. 2 Have we shed no tears to shed for him, while soldiers scoff and foes deride? Ah! Look how patiently he hangs: Jesus, our Love, is crucified. 3 Seven times he spake, seven words of love; and all three hours his silence cried for mercy on the souls of all; Jesus, our Love, is crucified. 4 O love of God! O sin-filled world! In this dread act your strength is tried; and victory remains with love: Jesus, our Love, is crucified.

The Love that Clothes Itself in Light

Author: Alan Gaunt Hymnal: VU1996 #137 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light, stands naked now, despised, betrayed, receiving blows to face and head from hands that Love itself has made. 2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun, collapses, spent, beneath the cross; the Love that fills the universe, goes on to death and total loss. 3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary, rejected, scorned and crucified; Love hangs in shame, and dies alone, but Love abased, is glorified. 4 Extinguished with the sun at noon, Love's light transcends all history; Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed, still wraps all heaven in mystery. 5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here; though Love is absent, Love remains; where Love is finished, Love begins; where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns!

Ah, Holy Jesus

Heermann Hymnal: VU1996 #138 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have you offended, that we to judge you have in hate pretended? By foes derided, by your own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon you? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone you; yes, I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied you; I crucified you. 3 Lo, the good shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave is guilty, yet the Son has suffered; for our atonement, we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was your incarnation, your mortal sorrow, and your life's oblation, your death of anguish and your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay you, I do adore you, and will ever pray you, think on your pity and your love unswerving, not my deserving.

At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping

Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Hymnal: VU1996 #139 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping stood the mournful Mother weeping where he hung, the dying Lord; 2 through her soul of joy bereavèd, bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd, passed the sharp and piercing sword. 3 Who upon that mother gazing, in her anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? 4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking while her son that cup is drinking, would not share her sorrow deep? 5 For his people's sins chastisèd she beheld her Son despisèd scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined, 6 saw him then from judgement taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding, grief and love my heart dividing, I with her would take my place: 8 by your saving cross uphold me, in your dying, Christ, enfold me, with the deathless arms of grace.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Hymnal: VU1996 #143 (1996) Meter: 6.6.12.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, my Saviour’s love to me, love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. O who am I that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh, and die? 2 He came from his blest throne salvation to bestow, but people scorned, and none the longed-for Christ would know. But O my Friend, my Friend indeed, who at my need his life did spend. 3 Sometimes they strew his way, and his sweet praises sing, resounding all the day hosannas to their King. Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry. 4 Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine; never was love, dear King, never was grief like thine! This is my friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend.

O Sacred Head

Author: James Waddell Alexander; Paul Gerhardt; Henri Capieu Hymnal: VU1996 #145 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: O sacred head, sore wounded (Ô douloureux visage) Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, thine only crown: how art thou pale with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn; how does that visage languish which once was bright as morn! 2 Thy grief and bitter passion were all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but thine the cruel pain. Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, turn not from me thy face; but look on me with favour, and grant to me thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank thee, dearest friend, for this thy dying sorrow, thy pity without end? O make me thine forever; and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to thee. 4 Be near me when I am dying, O show thy cross to me; and for my succour flying, come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, from thee shall not remove, for all who die believing, die safely through thy love.
