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

How willing was Jesus to die

Author: Swain Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 How willing was Jesus to die, That we fellow-sinners might live! The life they could not take away, How ready was Jesus to give! They piercèd his hands and his feet; His hands and his feet he resigned; The pangs of his body were great, But greater the pangs of his mind. 2 That wrath would have kindled a hell Of never-abating despair, In millions of creatures, which fell On Jesus, and spent itself there. ’Twas justice that burst in a blaze Of vengeance on Jesus, our Head; Divinity’s indwelling rays Sustained him till nature was dead. 3 Divinity back to his frame The life he had yielded restored, And Jesus entombed was the same With Jesus in glory adored. No nearer we venture than this, To gaze on a deep so profound, But tread, whilst we taste of the bliss, With reverence the hallowed ground. Scripture: Luke 22:44

Christ, our Sacrifice

Author: C. W. Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ First Line: The Lord, in the day of his anger, did lay Lyrics: 1 The Lord, in the day of his anger, did lay Our sins on the Lamb, and he bore them away. He died to atone for our sins, not his own; The Father has punished for us his dear Son. 2 [With joy we approve the design of his love; ’Tis a wonder below and a wonder above. Our Ransom, our Peace, and our Surety he is; Come, see if there ever were sorrow like his.] 3 [He came from above, the law’s curse to remove; He loved, he has loved us, because he would love; And, when time is no more, we still shall adore That ocean of love, without bottom or shore.] 4 Love moved him to die, and on this we rely, Our Jesus has loved us, we cannot tell why; But this we can tell, that he loved us so well, As to lay down his life to redeem us from hell.

The Soul melted in Love

Author: Swain Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ First Line: When on my Beloved I gaze Lyrics: 1 When on my Beloved I gaze, So dazzling his beauties appear, His charms so transcendently blaze, The sight is too melting to bear. When from my own vileness I turn To Jesus exposed on the tree, With shame and with wonder I burn, To think what he suffered for me. 2 [My sins, O how black they appear, When in that dear bosom they meet! Those sins were the nails and the spear That wounded his hands and his feet. ’Twas justice that wreathed for his head The thorns that encircled it round; Thy temples, Immanuel, bled, That mine might with glory be crowned.] 3 The wonderful love of his heart, Where he has recorded my name, On earth can be known but in part; Heaven only can bear the full flame. In rivers of sorrow it flowed, And flowed in those rivers for me, My sins are all drowned in his blood; My soul is both happy and free.

Looking to Christ

Meter: 8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ First Line: Great God! if thou shouldst bring me near Lyrics: 1 Great God! if thou should’st bring me near, To answer at thy awful bar, And my own self defend; If Jesus did himself withdraw, I know thy holy, fiery law My soul to hell would send. 2 A sinner self-condemned I come, Worthy that thou should’st me consume, But, O! one thing I plead: The every mite to thee I owed, Christ Jesus, with his own heart’s blood, In pity for me paid. 3 Now should’st thou me to judgment call, Though Moses faced me there, and all My dreadful sins appeared, I should not fear, but boldly stand; Through Jesus’ piercèd heart and hand, I know I should be spared. 4 My full receipt should there be showed, Written with iron pens in blood, On Jesus’ hands and side. “I’m safe!” I’ll shout, “O law and sin, Ye cannot bring me guilty in, For Christ was crucified!”

Come, all harmonious tongues

Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Come, all harmonious tongues, Your noblest music bring. ’Tis Christ the everlasting God, And Christ the Man, we sing. 2 Tell how he took our flesh, To take away our guilt; Sing the dear drops of sacred blood, That hellish monsters spilt. 3 [Alas! the cruel spear Went deep into his side; And the rich flood of purple gore Their murderous weapons dyed.] 4 [The waves of swelling grief Did o’er his bosom roll, And mountains of almighty wrath, Lay heavy on his soul.] 5 Down to the shades of death He bowed his awful head; Yet he arose to live and reign, When death itself is dead. 6 No more the bloody spear; The cross and nails no more; For hell itself shakes at his name, And all the heavens adore. 7 There the Redeemer sits, High on his Father’s throne; The Father lays his vengeance by, And smiles upon his Son. 8 [There his full glories shine, With uncreated rays; And bless his saints’ and angels’ eyes, To everlasting days.] Scripture: Hebrews 9:28

Some wise men of opinions boast

Author: Berridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Some wise men of opinions boast, And sleep on doctrines sound; But, Lord, let not my soul be lost On such enchanted ground. 2 [Good doctrines can do me no good, While floating in the brain; Unless they yield my heart some food, They bring no real gain.] 3 O may my single aim be now To live on him that died; And nought on earth desire to know, But Jesus crucified! 4 [Disputings only gender strife, And gall a tender mind; But godliness, in all its life, At Jesus’ cross we find.] 5 Lord, let thy wondrous cross employ My musings all day long, Till, in the realms of purest joy, I make it all my song. Scripture: Hosea 6:3
