Ruler of Life, We Crown You Now
Author: Jennie Evelyn Hussey Meter: 8.6.8.6 with refrain Appears in 127 hymnals Refrain First Line: Lest we forget Gethsemane Lyrics: 1 Ruler of life we crown you now
as we your glory see;
Lest I forget your thorn-crowned brow,
lead us to Calvary.
Refrain:
Lest we forget Gethsemane,
lest we forget your agony,
Lest we forget love's victory,
lead us to Calvary.
2 Show us the tomb where you were laid,
tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
guarded you while you slept. [Refrain]
3 Let us, like Mary, through the gloom,
come with a gift for you;
Show to us now the empty tomb
leading to life anew. [Refrain]
4 May we be willing, Christ, to bear
daily our cross for you,
Even your cup of grief to share;
your love will see us through. [Refrain]

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,901 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide; my shelter be!
Let the water and the blood,
from your wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill your law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
you must save, and you alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to your cross I cling;
Naked, come to you for dress;
helpless, look to you for grace;
Stained, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die!
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
meet you at your judgment throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide; my shelter be! Topics: Confession of Sin; Eternal Life; Jesus Christ Savior; Jesus Christ Strength and Refuge; Year A Proper 6 Scripture: John 19:34 Used With Tune: TOPLADY

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 900 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy,

There is no place where earthly sorrows
are more felt than in God's heaven;
there's no place where earthly failings
have such kindly judgment given.
2 For the love of God is broader
than the measures of our minds;
and the heart of the Eternal
is most wonderfully kind.
If our love were but more faithful,
we would gladly trust God's Word,
and our lives would show thanksgiving
for the goodness of our God. Topics: Adoration and Praise God; God Grace of ; God Love of; God Mercy of; Year A Proper 20; Year C Lent 3; Year C Proper 19 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
