Once A Woman Silent Stood
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once a woman silent stood
While Jesus sat at meat;
From her eyes she poured a flood,
To wash His sacred feet:
Shame and wonder, joy and love,
All at once possessed her mind,
That she e’er so vile could prove,
Yet now forgiveness find.
2 "How came this vile woman here?
Will Jesus notice such?
Sure, if He a prophet were,
He would disdain her touch!"
Simon thus, with scornful heart,
Slighted one whom Jesus loved,
But her Savior took her part,
And thus his pride reproved.
3 "If two men in debt were bound,
One less, the other more;
Fifty, or five hundred pound,
And both alike were poor;
Should the lender both forgive,
When he saw them both distressed;
Which of them would you believe,
Engaged to love him best?"
4 "Surely he who much did owe,"
The Pharisee replied;
Then our Lord, “By judging so,
Thou dost for her decide:
Simon, if like her you knew,
How much you forgiveness need;
You like her had acted too,
And welcomed Me indeed!
5 "When the load of sin is felt,
And much forgiveness known;
Then the heart of course will melt,
Though hard before as stone:
Blame not then, her love and tears,
Greatly she in debt has been:
But I have removed her fears,
And pardoned all her sin."
6 When I read this woman’s case,
Her love and humble zeal;
I confess, with shame of face,
My heart is made of steel;
Much has been forgiv’n to me,
Jesus paid my heavy score,
What a creature must I be,
That I can love no more! Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
Once A Woman Silent Stood
Hearken to the Solemn Voice
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Hearken to the solemn voice,
the awful midnight cry;
Waiting souls, rejoice, rejoice,
and see the Bridegroom nigh;
Lo! He comes to keep His Word,
light and joy His looks impart;
Go ye forth to meet your Lord, and meet Him in your heart.
2. Ye who faint beneath the load
of sin, your heads lift up;
See your great redeeming God,
He comes, and bids you hope:
In the midnight of your grief,
Jesus doth His mourners cheer;
Lo! He brings you sure relief;
believe, and feel Him here.
3. Ye whose loins are girt, stand forth!
Whose lamps are burning bright,
Worthy, in your Savior’s worth,
to walk with Him in white:
Jesus bids your hearts be clean,
bids you all His promise prove;
Jesus comes to cast out sin,
and perfect you in love.
4. Wait we all in patient hope,
till Christ, the Judge, shall come,
We shall soon be all caught up
to meet the general doom:
In an hour to us unknown,
as a thief in deepest night,
Christ shall suddenly come down,
with all His saints in light.
5. Happy he whom Christ shall find
watching to see Him come;
Him the Judge of all mankind
shall bear triumphant home:
Who can answer to His Word?
Which of you dares meet His day?
Rise, and come to judgment!—Lord,
we rise, and come away. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742

Let The World Lament Their Dead
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the world lament their dead,
As sorrowing without hope;
When a friend of ours is freed,
We cheerfully look up,
Cannot murmur or complain,
For our dead we cannot grieve,
Death to them, to us, is gain;
In Jesus we believe.
2 We believe that Christ our head
For us resigned His breath,
He was numbered with the dead,
And dying conquered death;
Burst the barriers of the tomb:
Death could Him no longer keep,
He is the first-fruits become
Of those in Him that sleep.
3 God, who Him to life restored,
Shall all His members raise,
Bring them quickened with their Lord,
The children of His grace.
We who then on earth remain,
Shall not sooner be brought home;
All the dead shall rise again
To meet the general doom.
4 Jesus, faithful to His word,
Shall with a shout descend;
All Heaven’s host their glorious Lord
Shall pompously attend;
Christ shall come with dreadful noise,
Lightnings swift, and thunders loud,
With the great archangel’s voice,
And with the trump of God.
5 First the dead in Christ shall rise;
Then we who yet remain
Shall be caught up to the skies,
And see our Lord again;
We shall meet Him in the air,
All rapt up to Heaven shall be,
See, and love, and praise Him there
To all eternity.
6 Who can tell the happiness
This glorious hope affords!
Joy unuttered we possess
In these reviving words:
Happy while on earth we breathe,
Mightier bliss ordained to know,
Trampling upon sin and death,
To the third Heaven we go. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742

O the Depth of Love Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O the depth of love divine,
the unfathomable grace!
Who shall say how bread and wine
God into us conveys!
How the bread his flesh imparts,
how the wine transmits his blood,
fills his faithful people’s hearts
with all the life of God!
2 Let the wisest mortals show
how we the grace receive;
feeble elements bestow
a power not theirs to give.
Who explains the wondrous way,
how through these the virtue came?
These the virtue did convey,
yet still remain the same.
3 How can spirits heavenward rise,
by earthly matter fed,
drink herewith divine supplies
and eat immortal bread?
Ask the Father’s wisdom how:
Christ who did the means ordain;
angels round our altars bow
to search it out, in vain.
4 Sure and real is the grace,
the manner be unknown;
only meet us in thy ways
and perfect us in one.
Let us taste the heavenly powers,
Lord, we ask for nothing more.
Thine to bless, ’tis only ours
to wonder and adore.
