O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th cent.; Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns to the Living God #261 (2023) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, Thine only crown. O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered was all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank Thee, dearest Friend, for this, Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever! And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love for Thee. 4 Be near when I am dying, O show Thy cross to me! And, for my succor flying, come, Lord, to set me free: these eyes, new faith receiving, from Thee shall never move; for he who dies believing dies safely in Thy love.

And did my Savior bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die?

'Tis midnight; and on Olives' brow

Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #314 (1886) Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Lyrics: 1 'Tis midnight; and on Olives' brow The star is dimmed that lately shone: 'Tis midnight; in the garden, now, The suffering Saviour prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight; and from all removed, The Saviour wrestles lone with fears; E'en that disciple whom he loved Heeds not his Master's grief and tears. 3 'Tis midnight; and for others' guilt The Man of sorrows weeps in blood; Yet he who hath in anguish knelt, Is not forsaken by his God. 4 'Tis midnight; and from ether plains Is borne the song that angels know; Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Hymnal: The Celebration Hymnal #320 (1997) Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Atonement, Crucifixion, Suffering and Death Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand; The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land, A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way From the burning of the noontide heat And the burden of the day. 2 There lies beneath its shadow, But on the farther side, The darkness of an awful grave That gapes both deep and wide; And there between us stands the cross, Two arms outstretched to save, Like a watch-man set to guard the way From that eternal grave. 3 Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my smitten heart, with tears, These wonders I confess: The wonder of His glorious love And my unworthiness. 4 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self - my only shame, My glory - all the cross.

Refrain: So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it someday for a crown. 2 O the old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above To bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain] 3 In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain] 4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; Its shame and reproach gladly bear. Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away, Where His glory forever I’ll share.

[Refrain] 4 Living for Jesus through earth's little while, My dearest treasure, the light of His smile; Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem, Bringing the weary to find rest in Him. [Refrain] Tune Title: LIVING
