Christ, the Life of all the living
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #62 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, the Life of all the living,
Christ, the Death of death our foe,
Who Thyself for me once giving
To the darkest depths of woe,
Madest reconciliation,
And didst save me from damnation:
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
2 Thou, ah! Thou, hast taken on Thee
Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod;
Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee,
0 Thou sinless Son of God!
Thus didst Thou my soul deliver
From the bonds of sin forever.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
3 Thou didst bear the smiting only
That my wounds might all be whole;
Thou didst suffer, sad and lonely,
Rest to give my weary soul;
Yea, the curse of God enduredst,
Blessing unto me securedst.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
4 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee,
Treating Thee with shameful scorn,
E'en with piercing thorns they crowned Thee;
All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne,
That as Thine Thou mightest own me,
And with heavenly glory crown me.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
5 Thou didst suffer men to bruise Thee,
That from pain I might be free;
Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee;
Thence I gain security;
Comfortless once Thou didst languish,
Me to comfort in my anguish.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
6 Thou didst suffer great affliction,
And endue it patiently,
Even death by crucifixion,
That Thou might'st atone for me;
Thou didst choose to be tormented,
That my doom should be prevented.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
7 That Thou wast so meek and stainless,
Doth atone for my proud mood;
And Thy death makes dying painless,
All thy ills have wrought our good.
Yea, thy deep humiliation
Tendeth to my exaltation.
Thousand, thousand thanks shall be,
Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.
8 Then, for all that wrought our pardon,
For Thy sorrows deep and sore,
For Thine anguish in the garden,
I will thank Thee evermore;
Thank Thee for Thy groaning and sighing,
For Thy bleeding and Thy dying,
For that last most bitter cry,
And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high. Topics: Passion Languages: English
Christ, the Life of all the living
In the Cross of Christ I glory
Author: John Bowring Hymnal: Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church #62a (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 In the Cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive and fears annoy,
Never shall the Cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the Cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the Cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

In the Cross of Christ I glory
Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding
Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Hymnal #63 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics:
Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding;
"Christ is nigh," it seems to say;
"Cast away the works of darkness,
O ye children of the day."
Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
Lo! the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heaven;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiven;
So when next he comes with glory,
Wrapping all the world in fear,
May he with his mercy shield us,
And with words of love draw near.

Which before the Cross we spend;
Life and health and peace possessing
From the sinner's dying Friend.
2 Here we rest in wonder, viewing
All our sins on Jesus laid;
Here we see redemption flowing
From the sacrifice he made. A-men.
3 Here we find the dawn of heaven,
While upon the Cross we gaze;
See our trespasses forgiven,
And our songs of triumph raise.
4 Lord, in ceaseless contemplation
Fix our hearts and eyes on thee,
Till we taste thy full salvation,
And unveiled thy glories see.

Earth has many a noble city
Author: E. Caswall; A. C. Prudentius Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #63 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Earth has many a noble city;
Bethlehem, thou dost all excel:
Out of thee the Lord from heaven
Came to rule His Israel.
2 Fairer than the sun at morning
Was the star that told His birth,
To the world its God announcing
Seen in fleshly form on earth.
3 Eastern sages at His cradle
Make oblations rich and rare;
See the give, in deep devotion,
Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
Incense doth their God disclose,
Gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
Myrrh His sepulchre foreshows.
5 Jesu, Whom the Gentiles worshipped,
At Thy glad Epiphany,
Unto Thee, with God the Father
And the Spirit, glory be.
Amen.
