Cross of Jesus

Author: J. Stainer Hymnal: RHC #550 (1970) First Line: Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow Lyrics: 1 Cross of Jesus, Cross of sorrow, Where the Blood of Christ was shed, Perfect man on thee was tortured, Perfect God on thee has bled. 2 Here the King of all the ages, Throned in light ere worlds could be Robed in mortal flesh is dying, Crucified by sin for me. 3 O mysterious condescending! O abandonment sublime! Very God Himself is bearing All the sufferings of time! 4 Evermore for human failure By His Passion we can plead; God has borne all mortal anguish, Surely He will know our need. 5 This all human thought surpassing This is earth's most awful hour, God has taken mortal weakness! God has laid aside His Pow'r! Topics: Passion and Cross Languages: English Tune Title: [Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow]

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: RHC #551 (1970) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but Loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His Blood. 2 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

According to Thy Gracious Word
