Before the heaven and earth

Author: Brian Black (born 1926) Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross Lyrics: 1 Before the heaven and earth were made by God's decree, the Son of God all-glorious dwelt in God's eternity. 2 Though in the form of God and rich beyond compare, he did not stay to grasp his prize; nor did he linger there. 3 From heights of heaven he came to this world full of sin, to meet with hunger, hatred, hell, our life, our love to win. 4 The Son became true Man and took a servant's role; with lowliness and selfless love he came, to make us whole. 5 Obedient to his death — that death upon a cross, no son had ever shown such love nor father known such loss. 6 To him enthroned on high, by angel hosts adored, all knees shall bow, and tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Awake! the Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Invitation to Repentance Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-lasting shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace that was forsaken Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence God's mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O souls who spurn salvation! See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth; 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth To save from sin's dread power. Make haste, implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Amen. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 Used With Tune: OLD 130TH PSALM

A purple robe, a crown of thorn

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (born 1926) Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Palm Sunday The Way of the Cross Lyrics: 1 A purple robe, a crown of thorn, a reed in his right hand; before the soldiers’ spite and scorn I see my saviour stand. 2 He bears between the Roman guard the weight of all our woe; a stumbling figure, bowed and scarred I see my saviour go. 3 Fast to the cross's spreading span, high in the sunlit air, all the unnumbered sins of man I see my saviour bear. 4 He hangs, by whom the world was made, beneath the darkened sky; the everlasting ransom paid, I see my saviour die. 5 He shares on high his Father’s throne who once in mercy came; for all his love to sinners shown I sing my saviour’s name.

Post Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Jesus Christ Way, Truth, and Life Lyrics: 1 The LORD God from his throne on high looks down with clear and searching eye on all that dwell below; and he that fashioned heart and mind looks ever down on human-kind, their hearts and minds to know. Not human strength or mighty hosts, not charging steeds or warlike boasts can save from overthrow; but God will save from death and shame all those who fear and trust his name, and they no want shall know. 2 God's eye is on all those who fear; to those who hope, the LORD is near, according to his Word. Death cannot touch those in his hand, nor famine conquer in the land; we wait upon the LORD. In God our hope is firm and sure, who makes the joyful heart secure, our helper strong and true. Our trust is in your holy name; your mercy, LORD, in faith we claim, as we have hoped in you. Scripture: Psalm 33 Used With Tune: GENEVAN 68 Text Sources: Psalter Hymnal, 1934 (St. 1)
