O sacred head sore wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; James Waddell Alexander, 1804-59 Hymnal: Together in Song #339 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: 1 O sacred head sore wounded, with grief and shame weighed down; O kingly head surrounded with thorns your only crown; death's shadows rise before you, the glow of life decays; yet hosts of heaven adore you and tremble as they gaze. 2 What language shall I borrow to praise you, heavenly friend, for this your dying sorrow, your mercy without end? Such agony and dying! Such love to sinners free! O Christ, all grace supplying, turn now your face on me. 3 In this your bitter Passion, good Shepherd, think of me, look on me with compassion, unworthy though I be: beneath your cross abiding for ever would I rest, in your dear love confiding, and with your presence blessed. 4 Lord, be my consolation, my shield when death is near; remind me of your Passion, be with me when I fear. My eyes shall then behold you, upon your cross shall dwell, my heart by faith enfold you; and who dies thus, dies well.

Sing, My Tongue, How Glorious Battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #289 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: Part I 1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle glorious victory became; and above the cross, his trophy, tell the triumph and the fame, tell how he, the world's Redeemer, by his death for us o'ercame. 2 God in pity saw us fallen, shamed and sunk in misery, when we fell on death by tasting fruit of the forbidden tree: then another tree was chosen which the world from death should free. 3 Thus the scheme of our salvation was of old in order laid, that the manifold deceiver's art by art might be outweighed, and the lure the foe put forward into means of healing made. 4 Therefore, when the appointed fullness of the holy time was come, he was sent, who maketh all things, forth from God's eternal home; thus he came to earth incarnate, offspring of a virgin's womb. Part II 5 Thirty years among us dwelling, his appointed time fulfilled, born for this, he meets his Passion, for that this he freely willed: on the cross the Lamb is lifted, where his life-blood shall be spilled. 6 Faithful cross! above all other, one and only noble tree! None in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit thy peer may be! Sweetest wood and sweetest iron! Sweetest weight is hung on thee. 7 Thou alone wast counted worthy this world's ransom to uphold; for a shipwrecked race preparing harbor, like the ark of old; with the sacred blood anointed from the smitten Lamb that rolled. 8 To the Trinity be glory everlasting, as is meet; equal to the Father, equal to the Son and Paraclete: Trinal Unity, whose praises all created things repeat.

They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown, that thorns would flow'r upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak, your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all. Scripture: John 19:2 Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR / COLESHILL

Her noblest life my spirit draws from his dear wounds, and bleeding side. 5 I would for ever speak his name in sounds to mortal ears unknown, with angels join to praise the Lamb, and worship at his Father's throne.
