This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping
Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); Richard Lyman Sturch (b. 1936) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22, 23:1-48 Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping,
when powers of darkness overcome the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.
2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold,
betrays himself into his victim's will;
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing,
sin brings about the cure for sin's own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hand to treason's,
and buys the ransom-price of humankind.
4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested,
he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,
that judgement on the righteous Judge begin.
5 O make us sharers, Saviour, of your Passion,
that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter's laughter and its liberty. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: INTERCESSOR

There Jesus bore the cross for me;
O Calvary, dark Calvary,
Hark! hear Him groan for you and me.

A crown of thorns was on Thy head;
Oh, Thou didst bear such pain for me,
Upon the cross of Calvary. [Refrain]

Through love He did my soul restore;
I heard Him gently calling me,
In melting tones from Calvary. [Refrain]

O fountain great, so deep and wide;
My sins are gone, it reaches me,
That precious blood of Calvary.

O Calvary
Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,306 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed,
and did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head
for sinners such as I?
2 Was it for sins that I have done
he groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity, grace unknown,
and love beyond degree!
3 Well might the sun in darkness hide
and shut its glories in
when Christ, the mighty Maker, died
for his own creatures' sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
while his dear cross appears,
dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
and melt mine eyes to tears.

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: Luke 22:47-71, 23:1-48 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

At the Cross Her Station Keeping (Stabat Mater Dolorosa)
Author: Jacapone da Todi, 1230-1306; Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals Scripture: Luke 23:13-46 Lyrics: 1 At the cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last.
2 Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
Now at length the sword has passed.
3 O how sad and sore distressed,
Was that Mother highly blest
Of the sole begotten One!
4 Christ above in torment hangs,
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying, glorious Son.
5 Is there one who would not weep,
Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ's dear Mother to behold?
6 Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?
7 Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child,
All with bloody scourges rent.
8 For the sins of his own nation
Saw him hang in desolation
Till his spirit forth he sent.
9 O thou Mother! Font of love,
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with thine accord.
10 Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ, my Lord.
11 Holy Mother, pierce me through,
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Savior crucified.
12 Let me share with thee his pain,
Who for all my sins was slain,
Who for me in torment died.
13 Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning him who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live.
14 By the cross with thee to stay;
There with thee to weep and pray,
All I ask of thee to give.
15 Virgin of all Virgins best!
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share thy grief divine.
LATIN -
1 Stabat Mater dolorosa
Juxta crucem lacrimosa,
Dum pendebat Filius.
2 Cujus animam gementem,
contristatam et dolentem,
Pertransivit gladius.
3 O quam tristis et afflicta
Fuit illa benedicta,
Mater Unigeniti!
4 Quae maerebat et dolebat,
Pia Mater, dum videbat
Nati poenas inclyti.
5 Quis non posset contristari,
Piam Matrem contemplari
Dolentem cum Filio?
6 Quis est homo qui non fleret,
Matrem Christi si videret
In tanto supplicio?
7 Pro peccatis suae gentis
vidit Iesum in tormentis,
et flagellis subditum.
8 Vidit suum dulcem Natum
Moriendo desolatum,
Dum emisit spiritum.
9 Eia Mater, fons amoris,
Me sentire vim doloris
Fac, ut tecum lugeam.
10 Fac ut ardeat cor meum
in amando Christum Deum,
ut sibi complaceam.
11 Sancta Mater, istud agas,
Crucifixi fige plagas
Cordi meo valide.
12 Tui Nati vulnerati,
Tam dignati pro me pati,
Poenas mecum divide.
13 Fac me vere tecum flere,
Crucifixo condolere,
Donec ego vixero.
14 Juxta crucem tecum stare,
Ac me tibi sociare
In planctu desidero.
15 Virgo virginum praeclara,
Mihi jam non sis amara:
Fac me tecum plangere.
