Spirit of grace
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 92 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:4 First Line: Come, sacred Spirit, from above Lyrics: 1 Come, sacred Spirit, from above,
And fill the coldest heart with love:
Oh, turn to flesh the flinty stone,
And let thy sovereign power be known.
2 Speak thou, and from the haughtiest eyes
Shall floods of contrite sorrow rise;
While all their glowing souls are borne
To seek that grace which now they scorn.
3 Oh, let a holy flock await
In crowds around thy temple-gate!
Each pressing on with zeal to be
A living sacrifice to thee. Topics: Contrition Used With Tune: WIMBORNE

Much we talk of Jesus' blood
Author: Hart Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:12 Lyrics: 1 Much we talk of Jesus’ blood;
But how little’s understood!
Of his sufferings so intense,
Angels have no perfect sense.
Who can rightly comprehend
Their beginning or their end?
’Tis to God, and God alone,
That their weight is fully known.
2 [O thou hideous monster, Sin,
What a curse hast thou brought in!
All creation groans through thee,
Pregnant cause of misery.
Thou hast ruined wretched man,
Ever since the world began;
Thou hast God afflicted too;
Nothing less than that would do.
3 Would we then rejoice indeed?
Be it that from thee we’re freed;
And our justest cause to grieve
Is that thou wilt to us cleave.
Faith relieves us from thy guilt,
But we think whose blood was spilt;
All we hear, or feel, or see,
Serves to raise our hate to thee.]
4 Dearly we are bought, for God
Bought us with his own heart’s blood;
Boundless depths of love divine!
Jesus, what a love was thine!
Though the wonders thou hast done
Are as yet so little known,
Here we fix and comfort take –
Jesus died for sinners’ sake. Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ

Our cities cry to you, O God
Author: Margaret Clarkson, 1915- Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:1 Lyrics: 1 Our cities cry to you, O God,
from out their pain and strife;
you made us for yourself alone,
but we choose alien life.
Our goals are pleasure, gold and power;
injustice stalks our earth;
in vain we seek for rest, for joy,
for sense of human worth.
2 Yet still you walk our streets, O Christ!
We know your presence here
where humble Christians love and serve
in godly grace and fear.
O Word made flesh, be seen in us!
May all we say and do
affirm you God Incarnate still
and turn sad hearts to you!
3 Your people are your hands and feet
to serve your world today,
our lives the book our cities read
to help them find your way.
O pour your sovereign Spirit out
on heart and will and brain:
inspire your church with love and power
to ease our cities’ pain!
4 O healing Saviour, Prince of Peace,
salvation’s source and sum,
for you our broken cities cry:
Oh come, Lord Jesus, come!
With truth your royal diadem,
with righteousness your rod,
oh come, Lord Jesus, bring to earth
the city of our God! Topics: Church Body of Christ; City / City of God; Jesus Christ Redeemer and Savior; Jesus Christ Prince of Peace; One Life in Christ Justice; Repentance; Righteousness; Servant / Service Used With Tune: THE THIRD TUNE

The Sufferings of Alpha and Omega
Author: John Relly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Lamentations 1:12-13 First Line: O Lamb, my Lord, my God, my King Lyrics: 1 O Lamb, my Lord, my God, my King,
I could for ever speak of thee!
Thy suff'rings, and thy conquests sing,
O! the dear Lamb, who died for me.
2 What suff'rings didst not thou sustain!
From chains and bonds my soul to free;
What horrours, grief, and unknown pain!
O! the dear Lamb, who felt for me.
3 At supper with thy family,
The pains of wrath caught hold on thee;
Them the important hour drew nigh,
That my dear Lamb should die for me.
4 When to the garden he withdrew,
How sore amaz'd and griev'd was he,
Beyond what mortals ever knew;
O! that dear Lamb who griev'd for me.
5 Prostrate himself he humbly lays;
Great ruddy drops of sweat I see
Fall from him, whilst he weeps and prays;
O! that dear Lamb, who pray'd for me.
6 They buffeted my Lord and God;
Yea, on thy cheek, O Christ, smote thee,
The Judge of Isr'el, with a rod;
O! that dear Lamb, thus smote for me.
7 Revil'd, and scourg'd, spit on, abus'd,
Condemned to the fatal tree,
Of all that's vile and base, accus'd;
O! that dear Lamb, accus'd for me.
8 The cross they on his shoulders lay;
To bear the same the Lamb was free,
Until, oppress'd, he faints away;
O! the dear Lamb, who faints for me.
9 They nail'd him to the tort'ring wood;
His pierced hands and feet I see;
From ev'ry wound fresh streams of blood;
O! the dear Lamb, who bled for me.
10 They lift him high upon the cross,
Naked in blood, that all might see;
Whilst Angels gaze, and bow, and blush;
O that dear Lamb, accurst for me.

People Draw Near to God in Their Distress
Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945); Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Lamentations 1:1-6 Lyrics: 1 People draw near to God in their distress,
pleading for help and begging peace and bread,
rescue from guilt and sickness, nearly dead.
Christian or not, all come in helplessness.
2 People draw near when they see God's distress:
find God rejected, homeless, without bread,
burdened with sin and weakness, nearly dead.
Christians reach out to meet God's wretchedness.
3 And God draws near to people in distress,
feeding their souls and bodies with his bread;
Christian or not, for both he's hanging dead,
forgiving, from the cross, their wickedness. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA
