Ah, Holy Jesus

Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Bridges Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how have You offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how have You offended, that mortal judgment has on You descended? By foes derided, by Your own rejected, O most afflicted! 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon You? Alas, my treason, Jesus, has undone You! 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied You; I crucified You. 3 Lo, the Good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; the slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; for our atonement, while we nothing heeded, God interceded. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Your incarnation, Your mortal sorrow, and Your life's oblation; Your death of anguish and Your bitter passion, for my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay You, I do adore You, and will ever pray You, think on Your pity and Your love unswerving, not my deserving.

How long, O Lord, will you forget

Author: Barbara Woollett (b. 1937) Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Suffering Lyrics: 1 How long, O Lord, will you forget an answer to my prayer? No tokens of your love I see, your face is turned away from me; I wrestle with despair. 2 How long, O Lord, will you forsake and leave me in this way? When will you come to my relief? My heart is overwhelmed with grief, by evil night and day. 3 How long, O Lord — but you forgive, with mercy from above. I find that all your ways are just, I learn to praise you and to trust in your unfailing love. Scripture: Psalm 13 Used With Tune: [How long, O Lord, will you forget]
