The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: LHTC1918 #125 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Jeremiah Clarke Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His, is His by right, The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The Joy of all who dwell above, The Joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His name to know. 4 To them the Cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above; Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. 6 The Cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme. Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Languages: English Tune Title: NOTTINGHAM

We plough the fields, and scatter

Author: Matthias Claudius, 1782; Jane Montgomery Campbell Hymnal: LHTC1918 #486 (1917) Person Name: Matthias Claudius, 1782 Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields, and scatter The good seed on the land, But it is fed and watered By God's almighty hand; He sends the snow in winter, The warmth to swell the grain, The breezes and the sunshine, And soft refreshing rain. Refrain: All good gifts around us Are sent from heaven above, Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord, For all his love. 2 He only is the Maker Of all things near and far; He paints the wayside flower; He lights the evening star; The winds and waves obey Him; By Him the birds are fed; Much more to us, His children, He gives our daily bread. [Refrain] 3 We thank Thee, then, O Father, For all things bright and good, The seed-time and the harvest, Our life, our health, our food: No gifts have we to offer For all thy love imparts, But that which thou desirest, Our humble, thankful hearts. [Refrain] Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Harvest Languages: English Tune Title: WIR PFLÜGEN UND WIR STREUEN

The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet Him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet’s sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing. But they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing; The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated. Beneath Thy Cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Thee. Amen.

There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: LHTC1918 #544b (1917) Person Name: J. Comley Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Outside a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious Blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming Blood, And try His works to do. Amen. Topics: Hymns for Children Languages: English Tune Title: GREEN HILL

Nor from those blessèd footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 3 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night:-- 4 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SAXBY
