Throned Upon the Awful Tree
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Worshipbook #605 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree,
Lamb of God, your grief we see.
Darkness veils your anguished face;
None its lines of woe can trace.
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold you silent and alone—
2 Silent through those three dread hours,
Wrestling with the evil powers,
Left alone with human sin,
Gloom around you and within,
Till th'appointed time is nigh,
Till the Lamb of God may die.
3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
You, the Father's only Son,
You, his own anointed One,
You are asking— can it be?—
"Why have you forsaken me?"
4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Darkly o'er our sinful soul,
You, who once were thus bereft
That your own might ne'er be left,
Teach us by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know you nigh.

Throned Upon the Awful Tree
From All Thy Saints in Warfare
Author: Horatio, Earl Nelson, 1823-1913 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #756 (1969) Tune Key: d minor Lyrics: 1 From all thy saints in warfare,
For all thy saints at rest,
To thee, O blessed Jesus,
All praises be addressed.
Thou, Lord, didst win the battle
That they might conquerors be;
Their crowns of living glory
Are lit with rays from thee.
2 [Here insert the stanza for the special day.]
3 Then praise we God the Father,
And praise we God the Son
And God the Holy Spirit,
Eternal Three in One,
Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the throne
And honor, power, and glory
Ascribe to God alone. Amen.
GENERAL STANZA ( when no specific one is available)
Apostles, prophets, martyrs,
And all the sacred throng
Who wear the spotless raiment,
Who raise the ceaseless song--
For these, passed on before us,
Savior, we thee adore,
And, walking in their footsteps,
Would serve Thee more and more.
ANDREW
Praise, Lord, for thine apostle,
The first to welcome thee,
The first to lead his brother
The very Christ to see.
With hearts for thee made ready,
May we throughout the year
Still watch to lead our brethren
To own thine advent near.
CONVERSION OF ST. PAUL
Praise for the light from heaven,
Praise for the voice of awe,
Praise for the glorious vision
The persecutor saw.
Thee, Lord, for his conversion
We glorify today;
Enlighten all our darkness
With thy true Spirit's ray.
HOLY INNOCENTS:
Praise for thine infant martyrs,
By thee with tenderest love
Called early from their warfare
To share the rest above.
O Rachel, cease your weeping;
Thy rest from pains and cares.
Lord, grant us hearts as guileless
And crowns as bright as theirs.
JAMES THE ELDER
For him, O Lord, we praise thee,
Who, slain by Herod's sword,
Drank of thy cup of suffering,
Fulfilling thus thy word.
Curb we all vain impatience
To read thy veiled decree,
And count it joy to suffer
If so brought nearer thee.
JOHN THE EVANGELIST
Praise for the loved disciple,
Exile on Patmos' shore;
Praise for the faithful record
He to thy Godhead bore.
Praise for the mystic vision
Through him to us revealed;
May we, in patience waiting,
With thine elect be sealed.
BARTHOLOMEW:
All praise for thine apostle,
The faithful, pure and true,
Whom underneath the fig tree
Thine eye all-seeing knew;
Like him may we be guileless--
True Israelites indeed--
That thine abiding presence
Our longing souls may feed.
MATTHEW
Praise, Lord, for him whose Gospel
Thy human life declared,
Who, worldly gains forsaking,
Thy path of suffering shared.
From all unrighteous mammon,
O give us hearts set free
That we, whate'er our calling,
May rise and follow thee.
MATTHIAS THE APOSTLE
Lord, thine abiding presence
Directs the wondrous choice;
For one in place of Judas
The faithful now rejoice.
The Church from false apostles
Forevermore defend,
And by thy parting promise
Be with her to the end.
NATIVITY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST
We praise thee for the Baptist,
Forerunner of the Word,
Our true Elias, making
A highway for the Lord.
Of prophets last and greatest,
He saw thy dawning ray,
Make us the rather blessèd,
Who love thy glorious day.
PETER
Praise for thy great apostle,
The eager and the bold;
Thrice falling, yet repentant,
Thrice charged to feed thy fold.
Lord, make thy pastors faithful
To guard their flocks from ill,
And grant them dauntless courage
With humble earnest will.
LUKE THE EVANGELIST
For that beloved physician
All praise, whose Gospel shows
The Healer of the nations,
The Sharer of our woes.
Thy wine and oil, O Savior,
On bruised hearts deign to pour,
And with true balm of Gilead
Anoint us evermore.
MARK THE EVANGELIST
For him, O Lord, we praise thee,
The weak by grace made strong,
Whose labors and whose Gospel
Enrich our triumph song.
May we in all our weakness
Find strength from thee supplies
And all as fruitful branches
In thee, the Vine, abide.
STEPHEN THE MARTYR
Praise for the first of martyrs,
Who saw thee ready stand
To aid in midst of torment,
To plead at God's right hand.
Share we with him, if summoned
By death our Lord to own,
On earth the faithful witness,
In heaven the martyr-crown.
PHILIP AND JAMES
All praise for thine apostle,
Blest guide to Greek and Jew,
And him surnamed thy brother;
Keep us thy brethren true.
And grant the grace to know thee,
The Way, the Truth,the Life,
To wrestle with temptations
Till victors in the strife.
SIMON AND JUDE
Praise, Lord, for thine apostles
Who sealed their faith today;
One love, one zeal impelled them
To tread the sacred way.
May we with zeal as earnest
The faith of Christ maintain
And, bound in love as brethren,
At length thy rest attain.
THOMAS
All praise for thine apostle,
Whose short-lived doubtings prove
Thy perfect twofold nature,
The fullness of thy love.
On all who wait thy coming
Shed forth thy peace, O Lord,
And grant us faith to know thee,
True Man, true God, adored.

Come to Judgment
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #978 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Key: g minor First Line: Come to judgment, come away Lyrics: 1. "Come to judgment, come away!"
Hark, I hear the angel say,
Summoning the dust to rise,
"Haste, resume, and lift your eyes;
Hear, ye sons of Adam, hear;
Man, before thy God appear!"
2. Come to judgment, come away!
This, the last, the dreadful day.
Sovereign author, judge of all,
Dust obeys Thy quickening call,
Dust no other voice will heed,
Thine the trump that wakes the dead.
3. Come to judgment, come away!
Lingering man, no longer stay;
Thee let Earth at length restore,
Prisoner in her womb no more;
Burst the barriers of the tomb,
Rise to meet thy instant doom!
4. Come to judgment, come away!
Wide dispersed howe’er he stray,
Lost in fire, or air, or main,
Kindred atoms meet again;
Sepulchered where’er ye rest,
Mixed with fish, or bird, or beast.
5. Come to judgment, come away!
Help, O Christ, Thy works decay:
Man is out of order hurled,
Parceled out to all the world;
Lord, Thy broken concert raise,
And the music shall be praise.

Come to Judgment
Throned upon the Awful Tree
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6712 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1. Throned upon the awful tree,
Lamb of God, Your grief I see.
Darkness veils Your anguished face;
None its lines of woe can trace.
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold You silent and alone.
2. Silent through those three dread hours,
Wrestling with the evil powers,
Left alone with human sin,
Gloom around You and within,
Till the appointed time is nigh,
Til the Lamb of God may die.
3. Hark, that cry that peals aloud
Upward through the whelming cloud!
You, the Father’s only Son,
You, His own anointed One,
You are asking"can it be"
"Why have You forsaken Me?"
4. Lord, should fear and anguish roll,
Darkly o’er my sinful soul,
You, who once were thus bereft
That Your own might ne’er be left,
Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know You nigh.

Savior, Shine And Cheer My Soul
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8955 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 Savior, shine and cheer my soul,
Bid my dying hopes revive;
Make my wounded spirit whole,
Far away the tempter drive:
Speak the word and set me free,
Let me live alone to Thee.
2 Shall I sigh and pray in vain,
Wilt Thou still refuse to hear;
Wilt Thou not return again,
Must I yield to black despair?
Thou hast taught my heart to pray,
Canst Thou turn Thy face away?
3 Once I thought my mountain strong,
Firmly fixed no more to move;
Then Thy grace was all my song,
Then my soul was filled with love:
Those were happy golden days,
Sweetly spent in prayer and praise.
4 When my friends have said, "Beware,
Soon or late you’ll find a change";
I could see no cause for fear,
Vain their caution seemed and strange:
Not a cloud obscured my sky,
Could I think a tempest nigh?
5 Little, then, myself I knew,
Little thought of Satan’s power;
Now I find their words were true,
Now I feel the stormy hour!
Sin has put my joys to flight,
Sin has changed my day to night.
6 Satan asks, and mocks my woe,
"Boaster, where is now your God?"
Silence, Lord, this cruel foe,
Let him know I’m bought with blood:
Tell him, since I know Thy name,
Though I change, Thou art the same. Languages: English Tune Title: ARFON

The Clefted Side
Author: Aldine S. Kieffer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9156 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Key: g minor First Line: In that dread and awful day Lyrics: 1 In that dread and awful day,
When life’s glories fade away,
And the wounded, wayworn soul
Spurns all bounds, and breaks control;
Hide me, Son of Mary, hide
In Thy clefted, riven side.
2 When the mountains reel and sway,
When the stars shall darkling stray,
When old Ocean’s rugged roar
Beats each rock bound coast no more;
Then, O Son of Mary, hide—
Hide me in Thy clefted side!
3 When the Babe of Bethlehem
Builds the new Jerusalem,
When all Heav’n, and earth and hell
Shall confess that "all is well,"
Then, Thou Son of Mary, hide—
Hide me in Thy riven side. Languages: English Tune Title: ARFON

Weary, Lord, Of Struggling Here
Author: Anson D. F. Randolph Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10085 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Tune Key: g minor Lyrics: 1 Weary, Lord, of struggling here
With this constant doubt and fear,
Burdened by the pains I bear,
And the trials I must share—
Help me, Lord, again to flee
To the rest that’s found in Thee.
2 Weakened by the wayward will
Which controls, yet cheats me still;
Seeking something undefined
With an earnest, darkened mind—
Help me, Lord again to flee
To the light that breaks from Thee.
3 Fettered by this earthly scope
In the reach and aim of hope,
Fixing thought in narrow bound
Where no living truth is found—
Help me, Lord, again to flee
To the hope that’s fixed in Thee.
4 Fettered, burdened, wearied, weak,
Lord, once more Thy grace I seek;
Turn, O turn me not away,
Help me, Lord, to watch and pray—
That I never more may flee
From the rest that’s found in Thee.
