Stricken, smitten, and afflicted

Author: Th. Kelly Hymnal: CHLS1911 #91 (1911) Lyrics: 1. STRICKEN, smitten, and afflicted, See Him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; Yes, my soul, 'tis He! 'tis He! 'Tis the long expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful Word. 2. Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress; Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 3. Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great, Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the Sacrifice appointed! See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God. 4. Here we have a firm foundation; Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast; Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. Topics: Lent Languages: English

The day is surely drawing near

Author: P. Ringwaldt; A. Peter Hymnal: CHLS1911 #60 (1911) Lyrics: 1. THE day is surely drawing near, When God's Son, the anointed, Shall with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease, When flames on flames will still increase As the Apostle teacheth. 2. A trumpet loud shall then resound, And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall in that hour, By the Almighty boundless power, Be changed at His commanding. 3. A book is opened then to all-- A record truly telling What each hath done both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling; And every heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been, In thoughts and words and actions. 4. Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word, And loved their earthly treasures! With shame and trembling they will stand, And at the Judge's stern command To Satan be delivered. 5. O Jesus, who my debt didst pay, And for my sin wast smitten, Within the book of life, O may My name be also written! I will not doubt; I trust in Thee, From Satan Thou hast made me free, And from all condemnation. 6. Therefore my Intercessor be, And for Thy bloody merit Declare my name from judgment free, With all who life inherit; That I may see Thee face to face, With all Thy saints in that blest place, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7. O Jesus Christ, do not delay But hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee: Come, mighty Judge, and make us free From every evil. Amen! Topics: General Hymns; Death And Eternity Languages: English

The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Th. Kelly Hymnal: CHLS1911 #100 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1.THE Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2. The highest place that heav'n affords Is His by sov'reign right; The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heav'n eternal Light. 3. The Joy of all who dwell above, The Joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His name to know. 4. To them the cross with all its shame, With all its grace, is giv'n; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heav'n. 5. They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above; Their profit and their joy to know The myst'ry of His love. 6. The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme. Topics: Ascension Languages: English

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: J. Addison Hymnal: CHLS1911 #61 (1911) Lyrics: 1. THE LORD my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye, My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2. While on the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My every wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3. Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile, The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden green and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4. Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: W. Cowper Hymnal: CHLS1911 #62 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. THERE is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged neath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2. The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4. E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be, till I die. 5. Then, in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

This is the day the Lord hath made

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: CHLS1911 #4 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own: Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad And praise surround the throne. 2 To-day He rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell; To-day the saints His triumphs spread, And all His wonders tell. 3 Hosanna to th'anointed King, To David's holy Son; Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from Thy throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace; Who comes in God His Father's name, To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise; The highest heavens, in which He reigns, Shall give Him nobler praise.

I confess my sins, And mourn their wretched bands. A contrite heart is ever wont To find grace at Thy hands. 3.

Here I with mouth and soul, Incomprehensibly, Shall eat the precious flesh of Christ In blest reality. 5. Search not how this takes place, Nor whether it can be; God can accomplish vastly more Than seemeth plain to thee. 6. Vouchsafe, O blessed Lord, That earth and hell combined, May ne'er about this Sacrament A doubt raise in my mind. 7. And may I never fail To thank Thee day and night For Thy true body and true blood, O God, my Peace and Light! Topics: The Lord's Supper Languages: English

Wake, awake, for night is flying

Author: Ph. Nicolai Hymnal: CHLS1911 #63 (1911) Lyrics: 1. WAKE, awake, for night is flying, The watchmen on the heights are crying: Awake, Jerusalem, arise! Midnight hears the welcome voices, And at the thrilling cry rejoices; O where are ye, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Hallelujah! With bridal care Yourselves prepare To meet the Bridegroom, who is near! 2. Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come! Now come Thou Blessed One, Lord Jesus, God's own Son, Hail! Hosanna! The joyful call We answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3. Glory unto Thee be given, By men and by the host of heaven, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round Thy dazzling throne. Nor eye hath seen, nor ear Hath yet attained to hear Such great glory; Therefore will we Eternally Sing hymns of joy and praise to Thee. Topics: Death And Eternity Languages: English

We all believe in one true God

Author: M. Luther Hymnal: CHLS1911 #65 (1911) Lyrics: 1. WE all believe in One true God, Maker of the earth and heaven, The Father, who to us in love Hath the claim of children given: He in soul and body feeds us, All we want His hand provides us, Through all snares and perils lead us, Watches that no harm betides us; He cares for us by day and night, All things are governed by His might. 2. And we believe in Jesus Christ, His own Son, our Lord, possessing An equal Godhead, throne and might, Through whom comes the Father's blessing: Conceived of the Holy Spirit, Born of Mary, virgin-mother, That lost man might life inherit, Made true man, our Elder Brother, Was crucified for sinful men, And raised by God to life again. 3. We in the Holy Ghost believe, Who sweet grace and comfort giveth, And with the Father and the Son In Eternal glory liveth; Who the Christian Church doth even Keep in unity of spirit; Sins are truly here forgiven Through the blest Redeemer's merit; All flesh shall rise again, and we Shall live with God eternally; Amen.

When I survey the wondrous cross

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: CHLS1911 #92 (1911) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. WHEN I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood. 3. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4. His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er His body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. 5. Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all. Topics: Lent Languages: English

Who knows how near my end may be?

Author: Emilie Juliana v. Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt; C. Winkworth Hymnal: CHLS1911 #115 (1911) Lyrics: 1. WHO knows how near my end may be? Time speeds away, and death comes on; How swiftly, ah! how suddenly, May death be here, and life be gone! My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2. The world that smiled when morn was come May change for me ere close of eve; So long as earth is still my home In peril of my death I live. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 3. Teach me to ponder oft my end, And ere the hour of death appears, To cast my soul on Christ, her Friend, Nor spare repentant cries and tears. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4. And let me now so order all, That ever ready I may be To say with joy, Whate’er befall, Lord, do Thou as Thou wilt with me. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 5. Let heav'n to me be ever sweet, And this world bitter let me find, That I, 'mid all its toil and heat, May keep eternity in mind. My God, for Jesus' sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 6. Then death may come, or tarry yet, I know in Christ I perish not, He never will His own forget, He gives me robes without a spot. My God, for Jesus’ sake I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 7. And thus I live in God at peace, And die without a thought of fear, Content to take what God decrees, For through His Son my faith is clear, His grace shall be in death my stay, And peace shall bless my dying day.

Ye Christians in this nation

Author: P. Eber Hymnal: CHLS1911 #83 (1911) Lyrics: 1. YE Christians in this nation, Come all, and praise with me Our Maker's preservation In joyful harmony, E'en at this present time, When we new date our season, And have the greatest reason To love our Lord Divine. 2. Repeat with true devotion The wonders of His grace, Let no unhallowed notion Destroy our thankfulness, But still remember well That this year's renovation Renews our obligation Too fight 'gainst sin and hell. 3. His grace is still preserving Our peace in Church and State; His love is never swerving, In spite of Satan's hate; Dispens'd with open hand His plentiful productions, Prevented all destructions From this most sinful land. 4. His Father-like compassion Regards our feeble frame, When, turning from transgression, We come in Jesus' name Before His holy face, Then every sinful motion Is cast into the ocean Of never-failing grace. 5. These mercies we're adoring, O Lord, who dwell'st above, Which Thou hast been restoring Through Christ, the Son of Love; In whom Thou wilt be pleased To grant this year ensuing, Grace, constant in well-doing, Till we're from sin released.

Zion stands with hills surrounded

Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: CHLS1911 #66 (1911) Lyrics: 1. ZION stands with hills surrounded, Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine. Happy Zion, What a happy lot is thine! 2. Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Brothers cease their own to cherish; Heaven and earth at last remove: But no changes Can attend Jehovah’s love. 3. In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in His sight: God is with thee, God, thine everlasting Light.
