O Jesu, King most wonderful

O Jesu, King most wonderful
To mock your reign, O dearest Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green (1903-2000) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #154 (2013) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord,
they made a crown of thorns;
set you with taunts along that road
from which no one returns.
They could not know, as we do now,
how glorious is that crown:
that thorns would flower upon your brow,
your sorrows heal our own.
2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord,
they snatched a purple cloak,
your passion turned, for all they cared,
into a soldier's joke.
They could not know, as we do now,
that, though we merit blame,
you will your robe of mercy throw
around our naked shame.
3 A sceptred reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They could not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your kingdom shall not cease to grow
till love embraces all. Topics: Church year Passiontide; Church Year Good Friday; Kingdom of God; Passiontide Scripture: Matthew 27:27-32 Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #222 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto Me and rest;
lay down, thou weary one, lay down
thy head upon My breast!”
I came to Jesus as I was,
so weary worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
and He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
the living water; thirsty one,
stoop down, and drink, and live!”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
of that life-giving stream;
my thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
and now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am this dark world’s Light;
look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
and all thy day be bright!”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
in Him my Star, my Sun;
and in that Light of life I’ll walk,
till all my journey's done. Topics: Salvation Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY

How Shallow Former Shadows
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. Hymnal: Voices Together #326 (2020) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: How shallow former shadows seem Lyrics: 1 How shallow former shadows seem beside this great reverse,
as darkness swallows up the light of all the universe.
Creation shivers at the shock, the temple rends its veil.
A pallid stillness stifles time and nature's motions fail.
2 This is no midday fantasy, no flight of fevered brain.
With vengeance awful, grim, and real, chaos is come again.
The hands that formed us from the soil are nailed upon the cross.
The Word that gave us life and breath expires in utter loss.
3 Yet deep within this darkness lives a Love so fierce and free,
that arcs all voids and—risk supreme!—embraces agony.
Its perfect testament is etched in iron, blood, and wood.
With awe we glimpse its true import, and dare to call it good. Topics: God Love of Scripture: Matthew 27:45-54 Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY

How shall I sing that majesty
Author: John Mason, c. 1645-1694 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #373 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How shall I sing that majesty
Which angels do admire?
Let dust in dust and silence lie;
Sing, sing, ye heavenly choir.
Thousands of thousands stand around
Thy throne, O God most high;
Ten thousand times ten thousand sound
Thy praise; but who am I?
2 Thy brightness unto them appears,
Whilst I thy footsteps trace;
A sound of God comes to my ears,
But they behold thy face.
They sing because thou art their Sun;
Lord, send a beam on me;
For where heaven is but once begun
There alleluyas be.
3 Enlighten with faith’s light my heart,
Inflame it with love’s fire;
Then shall I sing and bear a part
With that celestial choir.
I shall, I fear, be dark and cold,
With all my fire and light;
Yet when thou dost accept their gold,
Lord, treasure up my mite.
4 How great a being, Lord, is thine,
Which doth all beings keep!
Thy knowledge is the only line
To sound so vast a deep.
Thou art a sea without a shore,
A sun without a sphere;
Thy time is now and evermore,
Thy place is everywhere. Topics: Trinity Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY
