When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,010 hymnals Topics: Lent; Lent 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. 3 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.

The grave itself a garden is

Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Lent Easter Even Lyrics: 1 The grave itself a garden is, Where loveliest flow'rs abound; Since Christ, our never-fading life, Sprang from that holy ground. 2 O give us grace to die to sin, That we, O Lord, may have A holy, happy rest in Thee, A Sabbath in the grave. 3 Thou, Lord, baptized in Tine own blood, And buried in the grave, Didst raise Thyself to endless life, Omnipotent to save. 4 Baptized into Thy death we died, And buried were with Thee, That we might live with Thee to God, And ever blest might be. 5 Lord, through the grave and gate of death May we, with Thee, arise To an eternal Easter-day Of glory in the skies!

Thou sweet flowing Kedron, by thy silver streams

Author: Maria DeFleury Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Lent Lyrics: 1 Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams Our Saviour at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray, And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on His head! How hard was His pillow, how humble His bed! The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight, And followed their Master with solemn delight. 3 Oh, garden of Olives, thou dear, honored spot, The fame of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above; The triumph of sorrow--the triumph of love. 4 Come, saints, and adore Him; come, bow at His feet Oh, give Him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise, And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies. Amen. Used With Tune: MAGILL
