Part II 4 Jesus, pitying the sighs of the thief, who near you dies, promising him paradise: hear us, holy Jesus. 5 May we in our guilt and shame, still your love and mercy claim, calling humbly on your name: hear us, holy Jesus. 6 May our hearts incline to you as we keep your cross in view, Cheer our souls, our hope renew: hear us, holy Jesus. Part III 7 Jesus, loving to the end her whose heart your sorrows rend, and your dearest human friend: hear us, holy Jesus. 8 May we in your sorrows share, for your sake all peril dare, and enjoy your tender care: hear us, holy Jesus. 9 May we all your loved ones be, all one holy family, loving, since your love we see: hear us, holy Jesus.

Part V 13 Jesus, in your thirst and pain, while your wounds your lifeblood drain, thirsting more our love to gain: hear us, holy Jesus. 14 Thirst for us in mercy still; all your holy work fulfill; satisfy Yyour loving will: hear us, holy Jesus. 15 May we thirst your love to know; lead us in our sin and woe, where the healing waters flow: hear us, holy Jesus. Part VI 16 Jesus, all our ransom paid, all your Father's will obeyed; all your suff'rings perfect made: hear us, holy Jesus. 17 Save us in our soul's distress, be our help to cheer and bless, while we grow in holiness: hear us, holy Jesus. 18 Brighten all our heav'nward way with an ever holier ray, till we pass to perfect day: hear us, holy Jesus. Part VII 19 Jesus, all your labor vast, all your woe and conflict past, yielding up your soul at last: hear us, holy Jesus. 20 When the death shades round us low'r, guard us from the temper's pow'r, keep us in that trial hour: hear us, holy Jesus. 21 May your life and death supply grace to live and grace to die, grace to reach the home on high: hear us, holy Jesus.

The middle wall is broken down, and all the world may enter in. 3 'Tis finished! All my guilt and pain, I want no sacrifice beside; for me, for me the Lamb is slain; 'tis finished! I am justified. 4 The reign of sin and death is o'er, and all may live from sin set free; Satan hath lost his mortal power; 'tis swallowed up in victory.

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:33-53 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Savior's glory; Tell his triumph far and wide; Tell aloud the famous story Of his body crucified; How upon the cross a victim, Vanquishing in death, he died. 2 Faithful cross, O Tree all beauteous! Tree all peerless and divine, Not a grove on earth can show us Such a flow'r and leaf as thine. Sweet the nails, and sweet the wood, Laden with so sweet a load! 3 Eating of the tree forbidden, Humans sank in Satan's snare, When our pitying Creator Did this second tree prepare; Destined, many ages later, That first evil to repair. 4 Such the order God appointed When for sin he would atone; To the serpent thus opposing Schemes yet deeper than his own; Thence the remedy procuring, When the fatal wound had come. 5 So when now at length the fullness Of the sacred time drew nigh, Then the Son, the world's Creator, Left his Father's throne on high; From a virgin's womb appearing, Clothed in our mortality. 6 Thus did Christ to perfect manhood In our mortal flesh attain: Then of his free choice he goes on To a death of bitter pain; And as lamb upon the altar Of the cross, for us is slain. 7 Lofty tree, bend down your branches, To embrace your sacred load; Oh, relax the native tension Of that all too rigid wood; Gently, gently bear the members Of your dying King and God. 8 Blessing honor everlasting, To th'immortal Deity; To the Father, Son, and Spirit, Equal praises ever be; Glory through the earth and heaven, Trinity in Unity. Amen.
