Author: Isabella J. Postgate Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: All day the Shepherd sought the sheep Lyrics: 1 All day the Shepherd sought the sheep, And called them home to rest; His pierced head now pillowed lies On earth’s green, gentle breast. 2 At least, she loved Him as her child, And did her Maker hail; For in His hour of anguished pain Her very sun grew pale. 3 He trod her thorniest, dreary ways, With footprints traced in blood; He knew the guerdon waiting Him— The nails and cross of wood! 4 To see God thus, the holy ones In lowly reverence bow; But His own brethren marked not The glory round His brow. 5 He bears long years of toil and pain, And pays for them the price; He pours at last His life blood out To crown the sacrifice. 6 Now for a space the earth He made Holds Him in her embrace; While soft white wings of angels round Guard well the holy place. 7 Soon will He waken. Night speeds fast, The golden day is near; The eastern sky is glowing now And signs of dawn appear! 8 A ray of Heaven’s glory bright Pierces death’s dark, ancient prison; The angels fold their pinions now And whisper, "He is ris’n."

"O Christ of God!"

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 58 hymnals First Line: O Jesus, sweet the tears I shed Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, sweet the tears I shed, While at thy cross I kneel, Gaze on thy wounded, fainting head, And all thy sorrows feel. 2 My heart dissolves to see thee bleed, This heart so hard before; I hear thee for the guilty plead, And grief o'erflows the more. 3 I know this cleansing blood of thine Was shed, dear for me: For me, for all,--oh, grace divine!-- Who look by faith on thee. 4 O Christ of God, O spotless Lamb, By love my soul is drawn; Henceforth, for ever, thine I am; Here life and peace are born. 5 In patient hope, the cross I'll bear, Thine arm shall be my stay; And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare, On thy great judgment-day.
