Lo—On The Inglorious Tree
Author: William J. Blew Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14158 Meter: 6.8.6.4 First Line: Lo—on th’inglorious tree Lyrics: 1 Lo—on th’inglorious tree
Our God, the God of Glory, hangs;
All steeped in blood is He,
And pierced with pangs.
2 A felon’s death He dies,
Uplift betwixt that robber-twain;
Sweet Lamb for sacrifice,
By sinners slain.
3 Pale, pale grows that dear brow,
In death that drooping head declines;
His parched lip moves and now
His soul resigns—
4 His placid soul—oh! gaze
On that wan face, that crown of thorn;
Those eyes which death-films glaze,
There look and mourn.
5 Mourn, and, with tears of blood,
Weep till thine eyes in death grow dim,
For Him unto the wood
Thou nail’st, yea Him—
6 To whom, the mighty God,
Washing in blood our sins away,
Our everlasting laud
We meekly pay. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS

William John Blew
1808 - 1894 Person Name: William J. Blew Translator of "Lo—On The Inglorious Tree" in The Cyber Hymnal Blew, William John, M.A., son of William Blew, born April 13, 1808, and educated at Great Ealing School, and Wadham College, Oxford, where he graduated B.A. in 1830, and M.A., 1832. On taking Holy Orders, Mr. Blew was Curate of Nuthurst and Cocking, and St. Anne's, Westminster, and for a time Incumbent of St. John's next Gravesend. Besides translations from Homer (Iliad, bks. i., ii., &c.) and Æschylus (Agamemnon the King), and works on the Book of Common Prayer, including a paraphrase on a translation of the same in Latin, he edited the Breviarium Aherdonense, 1854; and published a pamphlet on Hymns and Hymn Books, 1858; and (with Dr. H. J. Gauntlett) The Church Hymn and Tune Book, 1852, 2nd ed. 1855. Tho hymns in this last work are chiefly translations by Mr. Blew of Latin hymns. They were written from 1845 to 1852, and printed on fly-sheets for the use of his congregation. Many of these translations have come into common use. The following original hymns were also contributed by him to the same work:—
1. Christ in the Father's glory bright. Morning.
2. God's ark is in the field. Evening. The second stanza of this hymn is from Bp. Cosin's Hours, in his Collection of Private Devotions, 1627.
3. Hark, through the dewy morning. Morning.
4. Lord of the golden day. Evening.
5. 0 Lord, Thy wing outspread. Whitsuntide.
6. 0 Thou, Who on Thy sainted quire. Whitsuntide.
7. Sleeper, awake, arise. Epiphany.
8. Sweet Babe, that wrapt in twilight. Epiphany.
9. Ye crowned kings, approach ye. Epiphany. This is written to the tune “Adeste fideles," and might easily be mistaken as a free translation of the "Adeste."
Mr. Blew has also translated The Altar Service of the Church of England, in the year 1548, into English. His translations are terse, vigorous, musical, and of great merit. They have been strangely overlooked by the compilers of recent hymn-books. He died Dec. 27, 1894.
