Make our hearts your habitation; with your grace our spirits shower. Hear, O hear our supplication, blessed Spirit, God of peace! Rest upon this congregation with the fullness of your grace.

Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, see him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he! 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; by his Son God now has spoken: 'tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear him groaning, was there ever grief like his? Friends thro' fear his cause disowning, foes insulting his distress; many hands were raised to wound him, none would interpose to save; but the deepest stroke that pierced him was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great here may view its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed, see who bears the awful load; 'tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation, his the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded who on him their hope have built.

Tenebroso, mar undoso

Author: Miralles Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tenebroso, mar undoso Vas surcando, pecador; Y el presagio del naufragio Acrecienta tu temor. ¿Ves no lejos los reflejos De una amiga y blanca luz? Ese bello, fiel destello Es el faro de la cruz. 2 Anhelado, puerto amado, Fuente viva de salud: En ti mi alma dulce calma Gozará sin inquietud. ¿Qué es el mundo? Foco inmundo; De él me quiero retirar, Y el tranquilo, grato asilo De los justos desfrutar. 3 ¡Cuánto ansío, Cristo mío, Revestirme de tu amor, Adorarte, siempre honrarte Cual tu humilde servidor! Roca fuerte, que ni muerte Ni los siglos destruirán; Y los fieles sus laureles De victoria lucirán. Topics: El Año Cristiano Septuagésima a Cuaresma; Lent Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding to this high and holy place, where we wait with hope and longing for some token of God’s grace. Here we pray for new assurance that our faith is not in vain, searching like those first disciples for a sign both clear and plain. 2 Light breaks in upon our darkness, splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word, Moses and Elijah marvel as the heavenly voice is heard. Eyes and hearts behold with wonder how the law and prophets meet: Christ, with garments drenched in brightness, stands transfigured and complete. 3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory, fearful lest our faith decline, we like Peter find it tempting to remain and build a shrine. But true worship gives us courage to proclaim what we profess, that our daily lives may prove us people of the God we bless.
