Refrain: So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, Till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, And exchange it some day for a crown. 2 O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, Has a wondrous attraction for me; For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above, To bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain] 3 In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, A wondrous beauty I see; For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, To pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain] 4 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true, It's shame and reproach gladly bear; Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, Where His glory forever I'll share.

"Grace unknown"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #165 (1890) Topics: Sufferings and Death First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the great Creator, died For man, the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

"Man of Sorrows"

Author: George S. Dwight Hymnal: Laudes Domini #170 (1890) Topics: Sufferings and Death First Line: O Jesus, "Man of Sorrows" Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, "Man of Sorrows," Sole Son of God, the King! What language shall I borrow Thy boundless love to sing? No mortal words can measure The burdens thou didst take, Accepting pain as pleasure, All for my sinful sake. 2 By thine own kin neglected By trusted ones denied By bitter foes rejected, Thorn-crowned, and crucified Earth's hatred and affliction In patience thou didst bear, Returning benediction For cross and nail and spear. 3 Had ever love such proving! Was ever love so priced! Ah, what is all my loving Compared with thine, O Christ! 'Tis scarcely worth the gaining This paltry heart of mine; And yet for its obtaining Thou paid'st a price divine.

Beyond where Kedron's waters flow

Author: S. F. Smith Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #186 (1873) Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Lyrics: 1 Beyond where Kedron's waters flow, Behold the suffering Saviour go, To sad Gethsemane! His countenance is all divine, Yet grief appears in every line. 2 He bows beneath the sins of men, He cries to God, and cries again, In sad Gethsemane; He lifts his mournful eyes above-- My Father! can this cup remove! 3 With gentle resignation still, He yielded to his Father's will, In sad Gethsemane;-- Behold me here, thine only Son, And, Father! let thy will be done. 4 The Father heard,--and angels there Sustained the Son of God in prayer, In sad Gethsemane; He drank the dreadful cup of pain;-- Then rose to life and joy again. 5 When storms of sorrow round us sweep, And scenes of anguish make us weep, To sad Gethsemane We'll look, and see the Saviour there; Then humbly bow, like him, in prayer.

'Tis Midnight, and on Olive's Brow

Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #194 (1995) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Lyrics: 1 ’Tis midnight, and on Olive’s brow the star is dimmed that lately shone; ’tis midnight, in the garden now the suffering Savior prays alone. 2 ’Tis midnight, and from all removed, the Savior wrestles lone with fears; e’en that disciple whom he loved heeds not the Savior’s grief and tears. 3 ’Tis midnight, and for others’ guilt the Man of Sorrows weeps in blood; yet he that has in anguish knelt is not forsaken by his God. 4 ’Tis midnight, and from heavenly plains is borne the song that angels know; unheard by mortals are the strains that sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe. Scripture: Mark 14:26-42 Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW
