Upon the Cross Extended
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Lent; Lent Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended,
See, world, your Lord suspended;
Your Savior yields his breath.
The Prince of life from heaven
Himself has freely given
To shame and blows and bitter death.
2 How God at our transgression
To anger gives expression,
How loud his thunders roll,
How fearfully he smites him,
How sorely he requites him --
All this your suff'rings teach my soul.
3 'Tis I who should be smitten,
My doom should here be written:
Bound hand and foot in hell.
The fetters and the scourging,
The floods around you surging,
'Tis I who have deserved them well.
4 A crown of thorns you're wearing,
My shame and scorn you're bearing
That I might ransomed be.
My bondsman, ever willing,
My place with patience filling,
From sin and guilt has made me free.
5 Your cords of love, my Savior,
Bind me to you forever;
I am no longer mine.
To you I gladly tender
All that my life can render
And all I have to you resign. Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

Praise the Maker all your days!

shown our forebears in distress;
God is still the same forever,

Sing our Maker's faithfulness!

God knows well our feeble frame;
gladly all our burdens bearing,
still to countless years the same.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
All within me, praise God's name!

blows the wind and it is gone;
but, while mortals rise and perish,
God endures unchanging on.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise the high eternal one.
5 Angels, teach us adoration,
you behold God face to face;
sun and moon and all creation,
dwellers all in time and space.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Praise with us the God of grace! Used With Tune: PRAISE, MY SOUL

O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry
Author: I. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Lent; Lent Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my sins before Thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from Thy Book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse from sin:
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without Thy light,
Cast out and banished from Thy sight:
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.
4 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
5 Oh may Thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song:
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my strength and righteousness.
Amen.
