Christians awake, salute the happy morn
Author: John Byrom (1692-1763) Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians awake, salute the happy morn
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born!
Rise to adore the mystery of love,
Which hosts of angels chanted from above;
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God incarnate and the virgin’s Son.
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald’s voice: Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour’s birth
To you and all the nations on the earth;
This day hath God fulfilled his promised word,
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord!
3 O may we keep and ponder in our mind
God’s wondrous love in saving lost mankind!
Trace we the babe, who hath retrieved our loss,
From his poor manger to his bitter cross;
Tread in his steps, assisted by his grace,
Till man’s first heavenly state again takes place.

Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious Kingdom bring.

Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

Sweet chiming bells, O how they ring
Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
Author: Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-60); John Wesley (1703-91) Appears in 500 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
‘Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,
Who from the Father’s bosom came,
Who died for me, e’en me, to atone,
Now for my Lord and God I own.
4 Lord, I believe thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e’en for my soul, was shed.
5 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E’en then this shall be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

Lest I forget Gethsemane
Author: Jennie Evelyn Hussey (1874-1958) Appears in 131 hymnals First Line: King of my life, I crown thee now Lyrics: 1 King of my life, I crown thee now,

Lest I forget thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget thine agony,
Lest I forget thy love to me,
Lead me to Calvary.
2 Show me the tomb where thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded thee whilst thou slept.
3 Lead me, like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.
4 May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for thee,
Even thy cup of grief to share;
Thou hast borne all for me.

Man of sorrows! what a name
Author: Philip Paul Bliss (1838-76) Appears in 332 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Man of sorrows! what a name
For the San of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
2 Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned he stood,
Sealed my pardon with his blood;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
3 Guilty, vile and helpless we,
Spotless Lamb of God was he;
Full atonement-can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
4 Lifted up was he to die;
It is finished! was his cry;
Now in Heaven, exalted high;
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!
5 When he comes, our glorious King,
All his ransomed home to bring,
Then anew this song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Man of sorrows! what a name
O sacred head once wounded
Author: Paulus Gerhardt (1607-76); Bernard of Clairvaux; James Waddell Alexander (1804-59) Appears in 728 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred head once wounded,
With grief and pain weighed down,
How scornfully surrounded
With thorns, thine only crown!
How pale art thou with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
2 O Lord of life and glory,
What bliss till now was thine!
I read the wondrous story,
I joy to call thee mine.
Thy grief and thy compassion
Were all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But thine the deadly pain.
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend,
For this thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me thine for ever!
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to thee.
4 Be near me, Lord, when dying;
O show thyself to me;
And, for my succour flying,
Come, Lord, to set me free.
These eyes, new faith receiving,
From Jesus shall not move;
For he who dies believing
Dies safely through thy love.

O sacred head once wounded
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Author: George Bennard (1873-1958) Appears in 355 hymnals First Line: On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross Lyrics: 1 On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame,
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown.
2 O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary.
3 To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then he’ll call me some day to my home far away
Where his glory for ever I’ll share.

Speak to my heart of Calvary.

To Heaven’s joys and endless day.

To bear the cross and agony
In that dread hour on Calvary?
