Throned upon the Awful Tree

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: Christ Passion and Atoning Death of Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, King of grief, I watch with thee. Darkness veils thine anguished face: none its lines of woe can trace: none can tell what pangs unknown hold thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, wrestling with the evil pow'rs, left alone with human sin, gloom around thee and within, 'til th'appointed time is nigh, 'til the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark, that cry that peals aloud upward thro' the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father's only Son, thou, his own Anointed One, thou dost ask him--can it be? "Why hast thou forsaken me?" 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll darkly o'er my sinful soul, thou, who once wast thus bereft that thine own might ne'er be left, teach me by that bitter cry in the gloom to know thee nigh. Scripture: Mark 15:33-39 Used With Tune: AFRON

Our ransom by your death was paid, for all your people giv'n, the law you perfectly obeyed, that they might enter heav'n. 4 As all, when Adam sinned alone, in his transgression died, so by the righteousness of one are sinners justified; we to your merit, gracious Lord, with humblest joy submit, again to paradise restored, in you alone complete.

How condescending and how kind

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: Atonement; Christ Sufferings and Death; Christ Mediator; Christ Redeemer of mankind; Compassoin of Christ; Condescension of Christ; Lord's Supper; Love Of Christ; Mediatorship of Christ; Passion of Christ; Redeemer; Redemption; Salvation Through Christ Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God’s eternal Son! Our mis'ry reach'd His heavenly mind, And pity brought Him down. 2 This was compassion like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was His blood, His pity ne’er withdrew. 3 Now, though He reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well He remembers Calvary, Nor should His saints forget. 4 Here we receive repeated seals Of Jesus’ dying love: Hard is the wretch that never feels One soft affection move. 5 Here let our hearts begin to melt, While we His death record, And with our joy for pardon'd guilt, Mourn that we pierced the Lord.

I knew not what I did-- But now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain! 4 A second look He gave, that said, "I freely all forgive: This blood is for thy ransom paid; I die that thou may'st live." 5 Thus while His death my sin displays In all its blackest hue, Such is the mystery of grace, It seals my pardon too!

Come, let our mournful songs record

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death; The Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Come, let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When he expir'd in shame and blood, Like one forsaken of his God. 2 The Jews beheld him thus forlorn, And shook their heads, and laugh'd in scorn; "He rescu'd others from the grave; Now let him try himself to save." 3 O harden'd people! cruel priests! How they stood round like savage beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their pow'r! 4 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. 5 But, gracious God! thy pow'r and love Have made his death a blessing prove. Tho' once upon the cross he bled, Immortal honours crown his head. 6 Thro' Christ the Son our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live! The Lord will hear us in his name; Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame.
