We sing the praise of him who died

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 53:4-5 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died, of him who died upon the cross; the sinner's hope though all deride -- for this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see in shining letters, 'God is love'; he bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! it takes our guilt away; and holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 It makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

At the cross her station keeping

Author: Jacopone Da Todi d. 1306; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 53:1-2 Lyrics: 1 At the cross her station keeping stood the mournful Mother weeping, where he hung, the dying Lord; for her soul, of joy bereavèd, bowed with anguish, deeply grievèd, felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 O how sad and sore distressèd now was she, that Mother blessèd of the sole-begotten one! Deep the woe of her affliction, when she saw the crucifixion of her ever-glorious Son. 3 Who, on Christ's dear Mother gazing pierced by anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear Mother thinking such a cup of sorrow drinking, would not share her sorrows deep? 4 For his people's sins chastisèd, she beheld her Son despisèd, scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; saw him then from judgement taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 5 O good Jesu, let me borrow something of thy Mother's sorrow, fount of love, Redeemer kind, that my heart fresh ardour gaining, and a purer love attaining, may with thee acceptance find.
