Psalm 116

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 199 hymnals Topics: Holy Week Maundy Thursday First Line: I love the Lord, he heard my cry Lyrics: 1. I Love the Lord, he heard my cry And pitied ev'ry groan. Long as I love, while troubles rise, I'll hasten to his throne. 2. I love the Lord; he bowed his ear And chased my griefs away; Oh, let my heart no more despair While I have breath to pray. 3. My flesh declined, my spirits fell, And I drew near the dead, While inward pangs of fear and hell Perplexed my wakeful head. 4. My God, I cried, your servant save, Be ever good and just; Your pow’r can rescue from the grave, Your pow’r is all my trust. 5. The Lord beheld me sore distressed, He bid my pains remove; Return, my soul, to God my rest, For you have known his love. 6. What shall I render to my God For all his kindness shown? Your cup of life I’ll gladly take; My songs address your throne. 7. How much is mercy your delight, My ever-blessèd God! How dear your servants in your sight! How precious is their blood! Scripture: Psalm 116 Used With Tune: SMALLWOOD

Whatever burdens may bow us down, he by his cross shall lift us up. 3 And after supper he washed their feet, for service, too, is sacrament. In Christ our joy shall be made complete: sent out to serve, as he was sent. 4 No end there is! We depart in peace. He loves beyond our uttermost: in every room in our Father's house Christ will be there, as Lord and Host. Scripture: Matthew 26:26-28 Used With Tune: O WALY WALY

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Maundy Thursday 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 heaven’s throne salvation to bestow; the world that was his own would not its Savior know. But O my Friend, 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, that he his foes from thence might free. 5 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. Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,083 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Maundy Thursday 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 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.
