O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 723 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, your only crown. O sacred head, what glory and blessing you have known! Yet, though despised and gory, I claim you as my own. 2 My Lord, what you did suffer was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but yours the deadly pain. So here I kneel, my Savior, for I deserve your place; look on me with your favor and save me by your grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this, your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Lord, make me yours forever, a loyal servant true, and let me never, never outlive my love for you.

O Jesus, our salvation

Author: J. Hamilton Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, our salvation, Low at Thy cross we lie: Lord, in thy great compassion, Hear, our bewailing cry. We come to Thee with mourning, We come to Thee in woe; With contrite hearts returning, And tears that overflow. 2 O gracious Intercessor! O Priest within the veil, Please for each lost transgressor The blood that cannot fail. We spread our sins before Thee, We tell them one by one: O, for Thy name's great glory, Forgive all we have done. 3 O, by Thy cross and passion, Thy tears and agony, And crown of cruel fashion, And death on Calvary; By all that untold suffering, Endured by Thee alone; O Priest, O spotless Offering, Plead, for Thou didst atone! 4 And in these hearts now broken Re-enter Thou and reign, And say, by that dear token, We are absolved again. And build us up, and guide us, And guard us day by day; And in Thy presence hide us, And take our sins away.

And, while His Name confessing Whom I by faith have known, Grant me Thy constant blessing, Make me for aye Thine own. Amen.

O sacred head surrounded

Author: St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Henry W. Baker Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: O sacred head surrounded By crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding head, so wounded, Reviled and put to scorn! Death's pallid hue comes o'er thee, The glow of life decays, Yet angel hosts adore thee, And tremble as they gaze. I see thy strength and vigor, All fading in the strife, And death with cruel rigor, Bereaving thee of life; O agony and dying! O love to sinners free! Jesus, all grace supplying, O turn thy face on me. In this, thy bitter passion, Good Shepherd, think of me With thy most sweet compassion, Unworthy though I be: Beneath thy cross abiding For ever would I rest, In thy dear love confiding, And with thy presence blest. Be near when I am dying; O show thy cross to me: And to my succour flying, Come, Lord, and set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, From thee shall never move; For he who dies believing, Dies safely in thy love. Amen. Topics: Holy Week Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, blessed Jesus; I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trial, And all my sorrows share. 4 I need Thee, blessed Jesus, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow And seated on Thy throne: There, with Thy blood-bought children, My joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus, To gaze, O Lord, on Thee.

Ah, Lord, I do not merit The favor thou hast shown, With all my soul and spirit I bow before Thy throne. 4 Lord, grant me that, thus strengthened With heavenly food, while here, My course on earth be lengthened, I serve with holy fear: And when Thou call'st my spirit To leave this world below, I enter, through Thy merit, Where joys unmingled flow.

O kindle, Lord, most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim: With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning; Thou comest to set me free! I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou comest to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me, As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me. Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; In pity He is near you, And bids you weep no more. 6 Ye who, with guilty terror, Are trembling, fear no more; With love and grace the Saviour Shall you to hope restore. He comes to heal the spirit That mourneth, sin-oppressed, He comes, that we inherit Eternal joy and rest. 7 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing: O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering And guide us safely home!

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded, Defiled and put to scorn; O kingly head, surrounded With mocking crown of thorn: What sorrow mars thy grandeur? Can death thy bloom deflower? O countenance whose splendour The hosts of heaven adore. 2 *Thy beauty, long-desirèd, Hath vanished from our sight; Thy power is all expirèd, And quenched the light of light. Ah me! for whom thou diest, Hide not so far thy grace: Show me, O Love most highest, The brightness of thy face. 3 *I pray thee, Jesus, own me, Me, Shepherd good, for thine; Who to thy fold hast won me, And fed with truth divine. Me guilty, me refuse not, Incline thy face to me, This comfort that I lose not, On earth to comfort thee. 4 In thy most bitter passion My heart to share doth cry, With thee for my salvation Upon the Cross to die. Ah, keep my heart thus movèd To stand thy Cross beneath, To mourn thee, well-belovèd, Yet thank thee for thy death. 5 My days are few, O fail not, With thine immortal power, To hold me that I quail not In death's most fearful hour: That I may fight befriended, And see in my last strife To me thine arms extended Upon the Cross of life.

A Pilgrim and a Stranger

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below; Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 I've met with storms and danger E'en from my early years, With enemies and conflicts, With fightings and with fears. There's nothing here that tempts me To wish a longer stay, So I must hasten forward, No halting or delay. 3 It is a well-worn pathway; A host has gone before, The holy saints and prophets, The patriarchs of yore. They trod the toilsome journey In patience and in faith; And them I fain would follow, Like them in life and death. 4 Who would share Abraham's blessing Must Abraham's path pursue, A stranger and a pilgrim, Like him, must journey thro'. The foes must be encountered, The dangers must be passed; A faithful soldier only Receives the crown at last. 5 So I must hasten forward-- Thank God, the end will come! This land of passing shadows Is not my destined home. That evermore abideth, The everlasting city, Jerusalem above, This evermore abideth, The home of light and love. 6 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee. Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wand'rings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To Thy sweet home of peace. 7 There I shall dwell forever, No more a parting guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest, The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind me, Eternal joys before.

Yet, God, your world is grieving; Is your heart breaking, too? May we cry out, believing Laments can honor you. Like Jeremiah, crying For cities that were lost, We see the children dying Who know war’s awful cost. Each day repeats the story; Sin takes its toll again. How can we sing your glory When our hearts break with them? The scope of sin is broader Than what the late news tells; Rejecting living water, We dig our broken wells. In gods of our own making We look for joy each day; O God, is your heart breaking When we all turn away? O God, you came to save us In Christ, your suffering Son. In his death you forgave us; In his life, joy is won! And when this world is suffering, When songs of grief abound, May we work for your kingdom, Till alleluias sound!

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I.

II.

III. Trust also in him ever, Without reluctant Will: His Promises will never Once come behind thy Zeal. His Goodness knows no Measure, His Love and Care no End, For such as wait with Pleasure Till he Salvation send. IV. And he shall surely lighten The Sorrows on thy heart, And with his Glory brighten Thy darken'd inward Part. When Thou his great Salvation With wond'ring Eyes shalt see, Thou'lt say, without Cessation, He loves and cares for Thee. V. Bring to to pass, O Blessed Above what Words can tell: And see us all released From Sin and Death and Hell.

O bleeding Head and wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O bleeding Head, and wounded, And full of pain and scorn, In mockery surrounded With cruel crown of thorn; O Head! before adorned With grace and majesty, Insulted now and scorned, All hail I bid to Thee! 2 They spit upon and jeer Thee, Thou noble countenance! Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee, And flee before Thy glance. How hath Thy color faded, The light too of Thine eye! Say who to pale hath made it? None shone so brilliantly! 3 Now from Thy cheeks has vanished Their color once so fair; From Thy red lips is banished The splendor that was there. Death’s might hath all things taken, Hath robbed Thee ruthlessly; Thy frame, of strength forsaken, Doth hence in weakness lie. 4 O Lord! it was my burden That brought this woe on Thee, I earned it--for my pardon It has been borne by Thee. A child of wrath, look on me, Turn not away Thy face; O Savior! deign to own me, And smile on me in grace. 5 My Guardian, now confess me, My Shepherd, me receive! Thou evermore dost bless me, All good things dost Thou give, Thy lips have often given Me milk and sweetest food, And many a taste of heaven Thy Spirit hath bestow’d. 6 O do not, Lord, deride me, I will not hence depart, Here will I stand beside Thee, When breaks Thine anguished heart; When on Thy breast is sinking In death’s last fatal grasp Thy head, e’en then unshrinking Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp. 7 Naught ever so much blesses, So much rejoices me, As when in Thy distresses I share a part with Thee. My Life, ah! were it ever Vouchsafed me at Thy cross My spirit to deliver, How blessed were my loss! 8 Thanks from my heart I offer Thee, Jesus, dearest Friend, For all that Thou didst suffer; My good didst Thou intend. Ah! grant that I may ever To Thy truth faithful be, And in the last death-shiver May I be found in Thee. 9 When hence I must betake me And death at last must meet, Lord, do not then forsake me, Thy child with welcome greet; When terror has bereft me, Of heart and hope, again, Lord! from my woe uplift me, In virtue of Thy pain. 10 Be Thou my consolation And shield, when I must die; Let me behold Thy passion, When my last hour draws nigh; My dim eyes then shall see Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfold Thee; Who dieth thus, dies well!

O teach me what it cost Thee To make a sinner whole; And teach me, Savior, teach me The value of a soul! 2. O teach me what it meaneth, That sacred crimson tide, The blood and water flowing From Thine own wounded side. Teach me that if none other Had sinned, but I alone, Yet still Thy blood, Lord Jesus, Thine only, must atone. 3. O teach me what it meaneth, Thy love beyond compare, The love that reacheth deeper Than depths of self-despair! Yes, teach me, till there gloweth In this cold heart of mine Some feeble, pale reflection Of that pure love of Thine. 4. O teach me what it meaneth, For I am full of sin, And grace alone can reach me, And love alone can win. O teach me, for I need Thee, I have no hope beside— The chief of all the sinners For whom the Savior died! 5. O teach me what it meaneth The rest which Thou dost give To all the heavy-laden Who look to Thee and live. Because I am a rebel Thy pardon I receive Because Thou dost command me, I can, I do believe. 6. O infinite Redeemer! I bring no other plea; Because Thou dost invite me I cast myself on Thee. Because Thou dost accept me I love and I adore; Because Thy love constraineth, I’ll praise Thee evermore!

He bears the shining palm, The "Holy, holy," shareth, And joins the angels' psalm; But we poor pilgrims wander Still through this land of woe, Till we shall meet him yonder, And all his joy shall know.
