Behold the Savior of mankind
Author: S. Wesley, Sr. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #197 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind
Nailed to the shameful tree!
How vast the love that him inclined
To bleed and die for me.
2 Hark! how he groans, while nature shakes,
And earth's strong pillars bend!
The temple's veil asunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.
3 'Tis finished! now the ransom's paid;
Receive my soul! he cries:
See, how he bows his sacred head!
He bows his head, and dies!
4 But soon he'll break death's iron chain,
And in full glory shine;
O Lamb of God! was ever pain,
Was ever love like thine? Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death; Pitying Love

Our souls on thee rely. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; For Revival

My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman (1624?-1683) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #184 (1998) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Scripture: Lamentations 1:1-6 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’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 all made strange, 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 Why, what has my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 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. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

my Friend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes we strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day
hosannas to our King.
Then "Crucify!"
is all our breath,
and for his death
we thirst and cry.
4 Unheeding, we will have
our dear Lord made away,
a murderer to save,
the prince of life to slay.
Yet steadfast he
to suffering goes,

never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.

How doth thy heart to sinners move!
Sprinkle on us thy precious blood,
And melt us with thy dying love

Much we talk of Jesus' blood
Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #154 (1844) Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Much we talk of Jesus’ blood;
But how little’s understood!
Of his sufferings so intense,
Angels have no perfect sense.
Who can rightly comprehend
Their beginning or their end?
’Tis to God, and God alone,
That their weight is fully known.
2 [O thou hideous monster, Sin,
What a curse hast thou brought in!
All creation groans through thee,
Pregnant cause of misery.
Thou hast ruined wretched man,
Ever since the world began;
Thou hast God afflicted too;
Nothing less than that would do.
3 Would we then rejoice indeed?
Be it that from thee we’re freed;
And our justest cause to grieve
Is that thou wilt to us cleave.
Faith relieves us from thy guilt,
But we think whose blood was spilt;
All we hear, or feel, or see,
Serves to raise our hate to thee.]
4 Dearly we are bought, for God
Bought us with his own heart’s blood;
Boundless depths of love divine!
Jesus, what a love was thine!
Though the wonders thou hast done
Are as yet so little known,
Here we fix and comfort take –
Jesus died for sinners’ sake. Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Languages: English

Our cities cry to you, O God

from out their pain and strife;
you made us for yourself alone,
but we choose alien life.
Our goals are pleasure, gold and power;
injustice stalks our earth;
in vain we seek for rest, for joy,
for sense of human worth.
2 Yet still you walk our streets, O Christ!
We know your presence here
where humble Christians love and serve
in godly grace and fear.
O Word made flesh, be seen in us!
May all we say and do
affirm you God Incarnate still
and turn sad hearts to you!
3 Your people are your hands and feet
to serve your world today,
our lives the book our cities read
to help them find your way.
O pour your sovereign Spirit out
on heart and will and brain:
inspire your church with love and power
to ease our cities’ pain!
4 O healing Saviour, Prince of Peace,
salvation’s source and sum,
for you our broken cities cry:
Oh come, Lord Jesus, come!
With truth your royal diadem,
with righteousness your rod,
oh come, Lord Jesus, bring to earth
the city of our God! Topics: Church Body of Christ; City / City of God; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Prince of Peace; One Life in Christ Justice; Repentance; Righteousness; Servant / Service Languages: English Tune Title: THE THIRD TUNE

The Sufferings of Alpha and Omega
Author: John Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CXXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Lamentations 1:12-13 First Line: O Lamb, my Lord, my God, my King Lyrics: 1 O Lamb, my Lord, my God, my King,
I could for ever speak of thee!
Thy suff'rings, and thy conquests sing,
O! the dear Lamb, who died for me.
2 What suff'rings didst not thou sustain!
From chains and bonds my soul to free;
What horrours, grief, and unknown pain!
O! the dear Lamb, who felt for me.
3 At supper with thy family,
The pains of wrath caught hold on thee;
Them the important hour drew nigh,
That my dear Lamb should die for me.
4 When to the garden he withdrew,
How sore amaz'd and griev'd was he,
Beyond what mortals ever knew;
O! that dear Lamb who griev'd for me.
5 Prostrate himself he humbly lays;
Great ruddy drops of sweat I see
Fall from him, whilst he weeps and prays;
O! that dear Lamb, who pray'd for me.
6 They buffeted my Lord and God;
Yea, on thy cheek, O Christ, smote thee,
The Judge of Isr'el, with a rod;
O! that dear Lamb, thus smote for me.
7 Revil'd, and scourg'd, spit on, abus'd,
Condemned to the fatal tree,
Of all that's vile and base, accus'd;
O! that dear Lamb, accus'd for me.
8 The cross they on his shoulders lay;
To bear the same the Lamb was free,
Until, oppress'd, he faints away;
O! the dear Lamb, who faints for me.
9 They nail'd him to the tort'ring wood;
His pierced hands and feet I see;
From ev'ry wound fresh streams of blood;
O! the dear Lamb, who bled for me.
10 They lift him high upon the cross,
Naked in blood, that all might see;
Whilst Angels gaze, and bow, and blush;
O that dear Lamb, accurst for me.
