In your sanctuary safe from attacks and buffetings let me, like a fledgling, rest in comfort under your wings. 3 God, you raised your Son from death, Christ whose kingdom shall endure, and because he gives me life my inheritance is sure.

Now let our mournful songs record

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Christ Mocked upon the Cross Lyrics: 1 Now let our mournful songs record The sorrows of our dying Lord, When he complained in tears and blood, As one forsaken by his God. 2 The Jews beheld him thus forlorn, And shook their heads and laughed in scorn; He rescued others from the grave, Now let him try himself to save. 3 This is the man who did pretend God was his Father and his friend; If God the blessed loved him so, Why does he fail his help to show? 4 O savage people! cruel priests! How they stood round like raging beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their power! 5 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, Till streams of blood each other meet; By lot his garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which he died. Scripture: Luke 19:10

Spirit of truth, on this Thy day

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit Mocked Lyrics: 1 Spirit of truth, on this Thy day, To Thee for help we cry, To guide us through the dreary way, To guide us through the dreary way Of dark mortality. 2 We ask not, Lord, the cloven flame, Or tongues of various tone; But long Thy praises to proclaim, But long Thy praises to proclaim With fervor in our own. 3 We mourn not that prophetic skill Is found on earth no more; Enough for us to trace Thy will, Enough for us to trace Thy will In Scripture’s sacred lore. 4 When tongues shall cease, and power decay, And knowledge empty prove, Do Thou Thy trembling servants stay, Do Thou Thy trembling servants stay With faith, and hope, and love. Amen. Used With Tune: MORRIS CHANT
