What a doleful voice I hear!

Author: Berridge Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 What a doleful voice I hear! What a garden-scene is there! What a frightful, ghastly flood! Jesus weltering in his blood! 2 Groaning on the ground he lies; Seems a slaughtered sacrifice! Tells me, with a feeble breath, “Sorrowful, yea, unto death!” 3 [How his eyes astonished are! Sure they witness conflict near! On his face what sadness dwells! Sure he feels a thousand hells!] 4 O my Jesus, let me know What has brought this heavy woe; Swords are piercing through thy heart; Whence arose the torturing smart? 5 “Sinner, thou hast done the deed; Thou hast made the Saviour bleed! Justice drew its sword on me! Pierced my heart to pass by thee! 6 “Now I take the deadly cup; All its dregs am drinking up; Read my anguish in my gore; Look, and pierce my heart no more.” 7 O thou bleeding love divine, What are other loves to thine? Theirs a drop, and thine a sea, Ever full, and ever free! 8 If I loved my Lord before, I would love him ten times more; Drop into his sea outright, Lose myself in Jesus quite. Scripture: Acts 17:3

Mourning souls, by sin distressed

Author: Burnham Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Mourning souls, by sin distressed, Lost and ruined, void of good, You can never be released, But by faith in Jesus’ blood. 2 Richly flowed the crimson river, Down Immanuel’s lovely side; And that blood will you deliver, Whensoever ’tis applied. 3 Christ is ready to receive you; See his bloody cross appear. From your sins he will relieve you, And dissolve your every fear. 4 O behold the Lord expiring; See the suffering Lamb of God! And that love be much admiring, Which appears in streams of blood. Scripture: John 19:3-4
