O Conqueror renowned!
O Source of peace ineffable,
In whom all joys are found:

Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanity departs,
Then kindles love divine.
3 O Jesus, light of all below,
The fount of life and fire,
Surpassing all the joys we know,
All that we can desire:
4 May ev'ry heart confess Your name,
Forever You adore,
And, seeking You, itself inflame
To seek You more and more!
5 Oh, may our tongues forever bless,
May we love You alone
And ever in our lives express
The image of Your own!

O Perfect Life of Love
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-77 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: O perfect life of love! Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love!
All, all, is finished now,
All that He left His throne above
To do for us below.
2 No work is left undone
Of all the Father willed;
His toil, His sorrows, one by one,
The Scriptures have fulfilled.
3 No pain that we can share
But He has felt its smart;
All forms of human grief and care
Have pierced that tender heart.
4 And on His thorn-crowned head
And on His sinless soul
Our sins in all their guilt were laid
That he might make us whole.
5 In perfect love He dies;
For me He dies, for me.
O all atoning Sacrifice,
I cling by faith to Thee.
6 In ev'ry time of need,
Before the judgment throne,
Thy work, O Lamb of God, I'll plead,
Thy merits, not mine own.
7 Yet work, O Lord, in me
As Thou for me hast wrought;
And let my love the answer be
To grace Thy love has brought.

Your gracious presence lend me;
Lord, lead Your helpless child;
Your Holy Spirit send me
That I my course may run.
O be my light, my lot,
My staff, my rock, my shield--
O God, forsake me not!
2 O God, forsake me not!
Take not Your Spirit from me;
Do not permit the might
Of sin to overcome me.
Increase my feeble faith,
Which You alone have wrought.
O be my strength and pow'r--
O God, forsake me not!
3 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, hear my supplication!
In ev'ry evil hour
Help me resist temptation;
And when the prince of hell
My conscience seeks to blot,
Be then not far from me--
O God, forsake me not!
4 O God, forsake me not!
Lord, I am Yours forever.
O keep me strong in faith
That I may leave You never.
Grant me a blessed end
When my good fight is fought;
Help me in life and death--
O God, forsake me not!

O Lord, Our Father, shall We be Confounded
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Meter: 11.11.11.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:5 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our Father, shall we be confounded
Who, tho' by trials and by woes surrounded,
On Thee alone for help are still relying,
To Thee are crying?
2 Lord, put to shame Thy foes who breathe defiance
And vainly make their might their sole reliance;
In mercy turn to us, the poor and stricken,
Our hope to quicken.
3 Be Thou our Helper and our strong Defender;
Speak to our foes and cause them to surrender.
Yea, long before their plans have been completed,
They are defeated.
4 'Tis vain to trust in man; for Thou, Lord, only
Art the Defense and Comfort of the lonely.
With Thee to lead, the battle shall be glorious
And we victorious.
5 Thou art our Hero, all our foes subduing;
Save Thou Thy little flock they are pursuing.
We seek Thy help; for Jesus' sake be near us.
Great Helper, hear us!
Amen.

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
O God my God, wherefore dost thou
Author: T. S. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 O God, my God, wherefore dost thou
forsake me utterly?
And helpest not, when I do make
my great complaint and cry?
2 To thee, my God, e'en all day long,
I do both cry and call;
I cease not all the night, and yet
thou hearest not at ail.
3 But thou that in thy holy place
for evermore dost dwell,
Thou art the joy, the comfort, and
glory of Israel;
4 And him in whom our fathers old
had all their hope and stay,
Who, when they put their trust in thee,
deliver'dst them alway.
5 They were preserved ever when
they called on thy name;
And for the faith they had in thee,
they were not put to shame.
6 But I am now become more like
a worm than to a man,
An outcast, whom the people scorn
with all the spite they can.
7 All men despise as they behold
me walking on the way,
They grin, make mouths, and nod their heads,
and on this wise do say,
8 This man did glory in the Lord,
his favour and his love:
Let him redeem and help him now,
his power if he will prove.
9 But from the prison of the womb
I was by thee releast,
Thou didst preserve me still in hope,
whilst I did suck the breast.
10 I was committed from my birth
with thee to have abode;
Since I came from my mother's womb,
thou hast been still my God.
The Second Part.
11 Then, Lord, depart not now from me,
in this my present grief,
Since I have none to be my help,
my succour and relief.
12 For many bulls do compass me
that be full strong of head;
Yea, bulls so fat, as tho' they had
in Basan field been fed.
13 They gape upon me greedily,
as tho' they would me slay,
Ev'n like a lion roaring out
and ramping for his prey.
14 But I drop down like water shed,
my joints in sunder break,
My heart doth in my body melt
like wax, I am so weak:
15 My strength doth like a potsherd dry,
my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws, and I am brought
to dust of death at last.
16 For many dogs do compass me,
in council they do meet,
Conspiring still against my life,
piercing my hands and feet.
17 I was tormented so, that I
might all my bones have told,
Whilst they do look and stare at me,
when they do me behold.
18 My garments they divided have
in parts among them all,
And for my coat they did cast lots
to whom it should befall.
19 Therefore, I pray thee, be not far
from me at my great need;
But rather, since thou art my strength,
to help me, Lord, make speed:
20 And from the sword save thou my soul
by thy might and thy pow'r,
And ever keep my darling dear
from dogs that would devour;
21 And from the lion's mouth that would
me all in sunder tear,
From 'midst the horns of unicorns,
O Lord, thou didst me hear
22 Then shall I to my brethren all
thy majesty record,
And in thy church shall praise the Name
of thee the living Lord.
The Third Part.
23 All ye that fear him, praise the Lord,
thou, Jacob, him adore,
And all ye seed of Israel,
fear him for evermore.
24 For he despiseth not the poor,
he hideth not away
His countenance when they do call,
but hears them when they pray,
25 Among the folk that fear the Lord
I will therefore proclaim
Thy praise, and keep my promise made
for setting forth thy name.
26 The poor shall eat and be suffic'd;
such as their minds do give
To seek the Lord, and praise his Name,
their hearts shall ever live.
27 The coasts of all the earth shall praise
the Lord and seek his grace,
The heathen folk shall worship all
before his blessed face.
28 The kingdoms of the heathen folk
the Lord shall have therefore;
And he shall be their Governor
and King for evermore.
29 The rich men of his goodly gifts
shall taste and feed also,
And in his presence worship him,
and bow their knees full low.
30 And all that shall go down to dust
of life by him shall taste;
A seed shall serve and worship him,
till time away shall waste:
31 They shall declare and plainly shew
his truth and righteousness
Unto a people yet unborn,
who shall his name confess.
O God my God, wherefore dost thou
O God, We Rage at Hurtful Things
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: O God, we rage at hurtful things
Beyond our own control,
Like all the pain that illness brings
To body, mind and soul.
There’s much we cannot understand;
O Lord, we ask you, “Why?”
And yet in Christ you know firsthand
The tears your people cry.
O Christ, your loving, saving touch
Heals children, women, men.
We pray for ones we love so much;
Lord, make them whole again.
Now work through those your Spirit sends
To heal, restore and care.
May doctors, nurses, neighbors, friends
Be answers to our prayer.
And when the journey seems too rough
And you seem far away,
Remind us, Lord: You are enough
To bring us through each day.
