"Am I My Brother's Keeper?"

Author: Ian Ferguson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Lent Lyrics: 1 "Am I my brother's keeper?" The muttered cry was drowned By Abel's life-blood shouting In silence from the ground. For no man is an island Divided from the main— The bell which tolled for Abel Tolled equally for Cain. 2 The ruler called for water And thought his hands were clean. Christ counted less than order, The man than the machine. The crowd cried, "Crucify him!," Their malice wouldn't budge, So Pilate called for water, And history's his judge. 3 As long as people hunger, As long as people thirst, And ignorance and illness And warfare do their worst, As long as there's injustice In any of God's lands, I am my brother's keeper, I dare not wash my hands. Amen. Used With Tune: WHITFORD

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 363 hymnals Topics: Lent Lyrics: 1. Dear refuge of my weary soul, On thee, when sorrows rise; On thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting Hope relies. To thee, I tell each rising grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief, For ev'ry pain I feel. 2. But oh! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. Yet gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust, And still my soul would cleave to thee, Tho' prostrate in the dust. 3. Hast thou not bid me seek thy face, And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sov'reign grace Be deaf when I complain? No, still the ear of sov'reign grace Attends the mourner's pray'r; Oh, may I ever find access To breathe my sorrows there. 4. Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet. Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: DEAR REFUGE

O bleeding Head, and wounded

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Lent Lyrics: 1. O BLEEDING Head, and wounded, And full of pain and scorn, In mockery surrounded With cruel crown of thorn! O Head! once crowned with glory And heavenly majesty, But now despised and gory; Yet here I welcome Thee! 2. Men spit upon and jeer Thee, Thou noble countenance, Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee, And flee before Thy glance! How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does Thy visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! 3. My burden, in Thy passion, Lord, Thou hast borne for me, For it was my transgression Which brought this woe on Thee. I cast me down before Thee, Wrath were my rightful lot; Have mercy, I implore Thee, Redeemer, spurn me not! 4. My Shepherd, now receive me! My Guardian, own me Thine! Great blessings Thou didst give me, O Source of gifts divine! Thy lips have often fed me With milk and sweetest food; Thy Spirit oft has led me To stores of heavenly good. 5. Thanks from my heart I offer Thee, Jesus, dearest Friend, For all that Thou didst suffer; My good didst Thou intend. Ah! grant that I may ever To Thy truth faithful be; When soul and body sever, May I be found in Thee! 6. When hence I must betake me, Lord, do not Thou depart! O nevermore forsake me When death is at my heart! When soul and body languish, O leave me not alone, But take away mine anguish, By virtue of Thine own! 7. Be Thou my Consolation And Shield when I must die; Remind me of Thy passion, When my last hour draws nigh. My eyes shall then behold Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfold Thee. Who dieth thus, dies well!

Aldrig er jeg uden Vaade

Author: Kingo Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: First Sunday in Lent Lyrics: 1 Aldrig er jeg uden Vaade, Aldrig dog foruden Naade. Altid har jeg Suk og Ve, Altid kan jeg Jesus se. 2 Altid trykker mine Synder, Altid Jesus Hjælp tilskynder, Altid er jeg udi Tvang, Altid er jeg fuld af Sang. 3 Nu i Sorg og nu i Glæde, Nu i Fald og nu i Sæde, Ofte fuld af stor Uro, Altid fuld af Jesu Tro. 4 Saa er Sorg og Glæde lænket, Sødt og Surt for mig iskjænket I mit Levnets Omgangs-Skaal, Saadan er it Levnets Maal. 5 Men, O Jesus, jeg vil græde, Hjælp du til, at Troens Glæde Fremfor Synd og Sorger maa Altid Overvegten faa.

After A While

Author: Charles Albert Tindley Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Lent First Line: The world of forms and changes Lyrics: 1. The world of forms and changes Is just now so confused That there is found some danger In everything you use, But this is consolation To every blood-washed child: The Lord will change our station After a while. Refrain: After a while, after a while, The Lord will change our station After a while. 2. Old Satan tries to throw down Everything that’s good; He’d fix a way to confound The righteous if he could, But thanks to God almighty That he cannot beguile, And we will be done fighting After a while. [Refrain] 3. There are some men and women Who help the Devil on By constantly complaining Of everything that’s done. They want to be called Christians And all their badness hide; God will open the secret, After a while. [Refrain] 4. I know we have too many Who are living in the dark; They have but little, if any, Of Christian work at heart. But thousands, though ’tis stormy, Are marching undefiled, And God will head the army After a while. [Refrain] 5. There is a land of promise Where trials are unknown, Where Satan never cometh, For God is on the throne. And just a little longer, By faith and self-denial, We’ll join our friends up yonder After a while. [Refrain] Scripture: Deuteronomy 26:7

When O'er My Sins I Sorrow

Forsake us not - O lord, be near

Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; L. Heyl Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: First Sunday in Lent Lyrics: 1 Forsake us not--O Lord be near Thy Church, when low'ring clouds appear; That heav'nly light, Thy Word divine; Continue in our midst to shine. 2 While sin and death around we see, O grant that we may constant be; And pure retain, till life is spent, Thy precious Word and Sacrament. 3 Dear Savior! help, Thy church uphold; For we are sluggish, thoughtless, cold; Indue Thy Word with power and grace, And spread its truth in ev'ry place. 4 Yes! leave us but Thy Word, we pray; The fatal wiles of Satan stay; Oh smile upon Thy church: give grace; And courage, patience, love, and peace. 5 O God! how sin's dread works abound; Thoughout the earth no rest is found; And wide has falsehood's spirit spread, And error boldly rears its head. 6 And ever is there something new Devised to change Thy doctrines true; Lord Jesus! as thou still dost reign, Those vain, presumptuous minds restrain. 7 And as the cause and glory, Lord, Are Thine, not ours, do Thou afford Us help and strength and constancy, And keep us ever try to Thee. 8 Thy word shall fortify us hence, It is Thy Church's sure defense; O let us in its power confide, That we may seek no other guide. 9 Here on Thy Word in faith we lean, There Thou shalt be forever see; And when our journey, endeth here, Receive us, Lord, in glory there. Used With Tune: WEIMAR (Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend)
