In the cross of Christ I glory

Memories holy, most precious and blest

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 Memories holy, most precious and blest, Speak to my spirit of stillness and rest; Gently me lead to Gethsemane's dale; Show me the sufferer trembling and pale, Treading forsaken a path full of thorns, Loving the world, which in turn only scorns. 2 Now I perceive Him in shadows of night, Putting the powers of darkness to flight, Crushed 'neath the load of the sin of the world, Death and damnation around Him are hurled. Thorn-crowned and scourged still the sacrificed Lamb, Lifting His brow, says: "A King yet I am." 3 Show me the cross where He patiently died, There in its shadow myself will I hide, There will I bide His victorious word, Hear him exclaim "It is finished", my Lord There will I praise for His mercy and grace; Suffering and dying He stood in my place.

My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned, Thou innocent Victim for sinners condemned, Thy garments are blood-stained, Thy spirit doth groan, In agony prostrate, Thou sufferest alone. 2 Thou weepest and moanest in conflict and prayer, And writhest in agony, pain and despair; In thirty years' anguish our path Thou has trod, And diest at last to redeem us to God. 3 For me Thou hast labored salvation to win, For me tasted death to atone for my sin; Neglected, forsaken, but mindful of me, Thou prayest for those who have crucified Thee. 4 Thou consecrate Victim, my Passover slain, The gall and the wormwood for me Thou dost drain, That I might be blessed Thou sufferest all woe, And diest at last on me life to bestow. 5 Our Saviour thus finished God's plan with our race, And laid the foundation for pardon and grace, And then rose triumphant, the conquering Lord, Appeased the Creator and mankind restored. 6 Restored to the bliss that was lost in the fall, Yea, greater, for Jesus prepared for us all Eternal salvation and mansions above; Come, poor burdened sinners, rejoice in His love. 7 What is, then, to be reconciled unto God? It is that He silenced the curse by His blood; And what the relation to which we're restored? The right to be counted the friends of the Lord. 8 So come, trembling sinner, come just as thou art, Thy cares and thy sorrows to Jesus impart; In Him seek salvation from death and the grave, For Jesus is willing and might to save.

Now Israel's hope in triumph ends

We now behold His majesty, The only Son's true majesty, And bow in adoration. Draw near, And hear, Every nation, Now salvation God bestoweth, And His love and mercy showeth. 3 Rejoice, my soul, and bless His Name Who to the lost and fallen came, To open heaven's portals. Rejoice that God will mercy show, The broken covenant renew With us poor sinful mortals. Now be Glory Ever given God in heaven; Peace unending Be on earth from heaven descending.

And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My souls 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 com'st to set me free: I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st 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 Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. Oh, 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; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more.

Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who by a star didst guide The wise men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay; Although by stars Thou dost not lead Thy servants now below, Thy Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 2 As yet we know Thee but in part; But still we trust Thy Word, That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. O Saviour, give us, then, Thy grace, To make us pure in heart; That we may see Thee face to face Hereafter, as Thou art.
