The two Looks
Author: John Newton Appears in 235 hymnals Topics: Christ Sufferings of First Line: I saw One hanging on a tree Lyrics: 1 I saw One hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood;
Who fixed his languid eyes on me,
As near the cross I stood.
2 Sure, never, till my latest breath,
Can I forget that look:
It seemed to charge me with his death,
Though not a word he spoke.
3 Alas! I knew not what I did,--
But now my tears are vain;
Where shall my trembling soul be hid,
For I the Lord have slain!
4 A second look he gave, that said,
"I freely all forgive:
This blood is for thy ransom paid;
I did that thou may'st live."
5 Thus while his death my sin displays
In all its blackest hue,
Such is the mystery of grace,
It seals my pardon too! Used With Tune: MANOAH
The two Looks
Why did the nations join to stay
Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Suffering and Kingdom of Christ; Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Suffering and Kingdom of Christ Lyrics: 1 Why did the nations join to slay
The Lord’s anointed Son?
Why did they cast his laws away,
And tread his gospel down?
2 The lord that sits above the skies,
Derides their rage below,
He speaks with vengeance in his eyes,
And strikes their spirits through.
3 “I call him my eternal Son,
"And raise him from the dead;
"I make my holy hill his throne,
"And wide his kingdom spread.
4 "Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy
"The utmost heathen lands;
"Thy rod of iron shall destroy
"The rebel that withstands."
5 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,
Obey th’ anointed Lord,
Adore the King of heavenly birth,
And tremble at his word.
6 With humble love address his throne,
For if he frown, ye die:
Those are secure, and those alone
Who on his grace rely.
Why did the nations join to stay
The God who once to Israel spoke
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals Topics: Sufferings and Death of Christ Lyrics: 1 The God who once to Israel spoke
From Sinai's top, in fire and smoke,
In gentler strains of gospel grace,
Invites us now to seek his face.
2 He wears no terrors on his brow;
He speaks in love from Zion now.
It is the voice of Jesus' blood,
That calls us wand'rers back to God.
3 Hark! how from Calvary it sounds;
From the Redeemer's bleeding wounds;
"Pardon and grace I freely gave,
"Then, sinner, look to me and live."
4 What other arguments can move
The heart that slights a Saviour's love?
O may that heav'nly pow'r be felt,
And cause the stony heart to melt!
The God who once to Israel spoke
Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 3,047 hymnals Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Suffering and Death; Jesus Christ: Suffering Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure,
save from wrath and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress,
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly,
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Used With Tune: TOPLADY
Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
When the Lord was crucified
Author: Anon. Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death Lyrics: 1 When the Lord was crucified,
Two transgressors with him died:
One, with vile blaspheming tongue,
Scoffed at Jesus as he hung.
2 But the other, touched with grace,
Humbly looked on Jesus' face,
Boldly owned his blessed Lord,
Whom the scribes and priests abhorred.
3 Lord! he prayed, remember me,
When in glory thou shalt be.
Soon with me, the Lord replies,
Thou shalt rest in Paradise.
4 This was wondrous faith indeed!
Wondrous grace in time of need!
Sinners, trust in Jesus' name:
You shall find him still the same.
When the Lord was crucified
Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Thomas Carlyle, 1795-1881; H. Lutteroth, 1802-1892 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Times of Suffering and Persecution Lyrics: GERMAN -
1 Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott,
Ein gute Wehr und Waffen.
Er hilft uns frei aus aller Not,
Die uns jetzt hat betroffen.
Der alt böse Feind
Mit Ernst er es jetzt meint;
Gross Macht und viel List
Sein grausam Rüstung ist,
Auf Erd ist nicht seinsgleichen.
2 Mit unsrer Macht ist nichts getan,
Wir sind gar bald verloren;
Es streit’t für uns der rechte Mann,
Den Gott selbst hat verkoren.
Fragst du nun, wer der ist?
Er heisset Jesus Christ,
Der Herr Zebaoth,
Und ist kein andrer Gott;
Das Feld muss er behalten.
3 Und wenn die Welt voll Teufel wär
Und wollt uns gar verschlingen,
So fürchten wir uns nicht so sehr,
Es soll uns doch gelingen.
Der Fürst dieser Welt,
Wie sauer er sich stellt,
Tut er uns doch nicht;
Das macht, er ist gericht’t,
Ein Wörtlein kann ihn fällen.
4 Das Wort sie sollen lassen stahn
Und kein Dank dazu haben;
Er ist bei uns wohl auf dem Plan
Mit seinem Geist und Gaben.
Nehmen sie den Leib,
Gut, Ehre, Kind und Weib,
Lass fahren dahin,
Sie habens kein Gewinn,
Das Reich muss uns doch bleiben.

ENGLISH -
1 A safe stronghold our God is still,
A trusty shield and weapon;
He'll help us clear from all the ill
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The ancient prince of hell
Hath ris'n with purpose fell;
Strong mail of craft and power
He weareth in this hour;
On earth is not his fellow.
2 With force of arms we nothing can,
Full soon were we down-ridden;
But for us fights the proper Man,
Whom God Himself hath bidden.
Ask ye, who is this same?
Christ Jesus is His name,
Of Sabaoth the Lord,
Sole God to be adored,
'Tis He must win the battle.
3 And were this world all devils o'er,
And watching to devour us,
We lay it not to heart so sore;
Not they can overpower us.
And let the prince of ill
Look grim as e'er he will,
He harms us not a whit;
For why? his doom is writ;
A word shall quickly slay him.
4 God's word, for all their craft and force,
One moment will not linger,
But, spite of hell, shall have its course;
'Tis written by His finger.
And, though they take our life,
Goods, honour, children, wife,
Yet is their profit small;
These things shall vanish all,
The city of God remaineth.

1 C'est un rempart que notre Dieu
Ue invincible armure,
Notre délivrance en tout lieu,
Notre défense sûre.
L'ennemi contre nous
Redouble de courroux
Vaine colère!
Que pourrait l'adversaire?
L'Eternel détourne ses coups.
2 Seuls, nous bronchons á chaque pas,
Notre force est faiblesse;
Mais un héros, dans les combats,
Pour nous lutte sans cesse.
Quel est ce défenseur?
C'est toi, divin Sauveur,
Dieu des armées,
Tes tribus opprimées
Connaissent leur libérateur.
3 Que les démons forgent des fers
Pour accabler l'Eglise,
Ta Sion brave les enfers,
Sur son rocher assise.
Constant dans son effort,
En vain, avec la mort,
Satan conspire:
Pour briser son empire,
Il suffit d'un mot du Dieu fort.
4 Dis-le, ce mot victorieux,
Dans toutes nos détresses;
Répand sur nous du haut des cieux
Tes divines largesses.
Qu'on nous ôte nos biens,
Qu'on serre nos liens,
Que nous importe!
Ta grâce est la plus forte,
Et ton royaume est pour les tiens.
