Hymn 42

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: Adore and tremble, for our God Scripture: Hebrews 12:29 Lyrics: Adore and tremble, for our God Is a consuming fire! His jealous eyes his wrath inflame, And raise his vengeance higher. Almighty vengeance, how it burns! How bright his fury glows! Vast magazines of plagues and storms Lie treasured for his foes. Those heaps of wrath, by slow degrees, Are forced into a flame; But kindled, oh! how fierce they blaze! And rend all nature's frame. At his approach the mountains flee, And seek a wat'ry grave; The frighted sea makes haste away, And shrinks up every wave. Through the wide air the weighty rocks Are swift as hailstones hurled; Who dares engage his fiery rage That shakes the solid world? Yet, mighty God, thy sovereign grace Sits regent on the throne; The refuge of thy chosen race When wrath comes rushing down. Thy hand shall on rebellious kings A fiery tempest pour, While we beneath thy shelt'ring wings Thy just revenge adore.

'Twas I, Lord, Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation: Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving Not my deserving.

As Royal Banners Are Unfurled

Author: Venantius Fortunatus (540?-600?); Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Lyrics: 1 As royal banners are unfurled, the cross displays its mystery: the Maker of our flesh, in flesh, impaled and hanging helplessly. 2 Already deeply wounded: see his side now riven by a spear, and all our sins are swept away by blood and water flowing here. 3 See everything the prophets wrote fulfilled in its totality, and tell the nations of the world our God is reigning from the tree. 4 This tree, ablaze with royal light and with the blood-red robe it wears, is hallowed and embellished by the weight of holiness it bears. 5 Stretched like a balance here, his arms have gauged the price of wickedness; but, hanging here, his love outweighs hell's unforgiving bitterness. 6 The Saviour, victim, sacrifice is, through his dying glorified; his life is overcome by death and leaps up, sweeping death aside. 7 We hail the cross, faith's one true hope: God's passion set in time and space, by which our guilt is blotted out, engulfed in such stupendous grace. Amen. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: GONFALON ROYAL
