Upon the Cross Extended

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended, See, world, your Lord suspended; Your Savior yields his breath. The Prince of life from heaven Himself has freely given To shame and blows and bitter death. 2 How God at our transgression To anger gives expression, How loud his thunders roll, How fearfully he smites him, How sorely he requites him -- All this your suff'rings teach my soul. 3 'Tis I who should be smitten, My doom should here be written: Bound hand and foot in hell. The fetters and the scourging, The floods around you surging, 'Tis I who have deserved them well. 4 A crown of thorns you're wearing, My shame and scorn you're bearing That I might ransomed be. My bondsman, ever willing, My place with patience filling, From sin and guilt has made me free. 5 Your cords of love, my Savior, Bind me to you forever; I am no longer mine. To you I gladly tender All that my life can render And all I have to you resign. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

O God, Before I Slumber

Author: H. Steffensen Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, before I slumber This night, now dark and somber, Incline Thine ear to me; For all, which Thou hast given, For Thy sweet gifts from heaven, I give my humble thanks to Thee. 2 Thy grace and loving kindness To me, beset with blindness, I do not understand; The more Thy gifts I ponder, The greater is my wonder, When I behold Thy bounteous hand. 3 Each day, anew beginning, I know that I am sinning Against Thy precious Word; But Thou my sins forgivest, Thou, who forever livest, A merciful and faithful Lord. 4 Thou unto me art bending And hearest when I'm sending To Thee my longing sigh; My soul Thy grace adoreth, Thy Spirit me restoreth To worship Thee, my God on high. 5 O Lord, my Comfort tender, To Thee I do surrender My body, soul, and all. I lay me down asleeping, Relying on Thy keeping, And on Thy mighty arm I fall. Topics: Morning and Evening Used With Tune: [O God, before I slumber]

Come, see the place where Jesus lay

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: Come, see the place where Jesus lay, And hear angelic watchers say, "He lives, who once was slain: Why seek the living midst the dead? Remember how the Savior said That he would rise again." O joyful sound! O glorious hour, When by his own Almighty power He rose and left the grave! Now let our songs his triumph tell, Who burst the bands of death and hell, And ever lives to save. The First-begotten of the dead, For us he rose, our glorious Head, Immortal life to bring; What though the saints like him shall die, They share their Leader's victory, And triumph with their King. No more they tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save, And raise their slumbering dust: O risen Lord, in thee we live, To thee our ransomed souls we give, To thee our bodies trust. Amen. Topics: Easter Day Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK
