Author: Henry H. Milman, 1791-1858 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #606 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. Bound upon the accursèd tree, Faint and bleeding, who is He? By the eyes so pale and dim, Streaming blood, and writhing limb; By the flesh with scourges torn; By the crown of twisted thorn; By the side so deeply pierced: By the baffled, burning thirst; By the drooping death-dewed brow; Son of Man! ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou! 2. Bound upon the accursèd tree, Dead and awful, who is He? By the sun at noonday pale, Shivering rocks and rending veil; Earth that trembles at His doom, Yonder saints who burst their tomb; Eden promised ere he died To the felon at His side; Lord! our suppliant knees we bow, Son of God! ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou! 3. Bound upon the accursèd tree, Sad and dying, who is He? By the last and bitter cry, By the dying agony; By the lifeless body laid In the chamber of the dead; By the mourners come to weep Where the bones of Jesus sleep. Crucified! we know Thee now: Son of Man! ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou! 4. Bound upon the accursèd tree, Dread and awful, who is He? By the prayer for them that slew, Lord, they know not what they do; By the spoiled and empty grave; By the souls He died to save; By the conquest He hath won; By the saints before His throne; By the rainbow round His brow; Son of God! ’tis Thou! ’tis Thou!

I Am His, and He Is Mine

Author: George W. Robinson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2715 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: Loved with everlasting love Lyrics: 1. Loved with everlasting love, led by grace that love to know; Gracious Spirit from above, Thou hast taught me it is so! O this full and perfect peace! O this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His, and He is mine. 2. Heav’n above is softer blue, Earth around is sweeter green! Something lives in every hue Christless eyes have never seen; Birds with gladder songs o’erflow, flowers with deeper beauties shine, Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His, and He is mine. 3. Things that once were wild alarms cannot now disturb my rest; Closed in everlasting arms, pillowed on the loving breast. O to lie forever here, doubt and care and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine. 4. His forever, only His; who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart! Heav’n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline; But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine. But while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

One Named Lazarus

Author: Susan H. Peterson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5206 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: One named Lazarus was sick Lyrics: 1. One named Lazarus was sick; his two sisters feared he’d die. So to Jesus they sent word, hoping He would soon come nigh. But when He received their word, two more days He did abide. He said, This won’t end in death; rather, I’ll be glorified. This is for God’s glory great; through it I’ll be glorified. 2. Now when Jesus finally came, Laz’rus had been dead four days. Martha went to welcome Him, asking why He’d stayed away. She said, Lord, if You’d been here, my dear brother still would live. But I know that even now, all you ask, God will now give. Though he’s dead, yet still I know, all You ask, God will now give. 3. Resurrection and the life— I am both, Jesus did say. He who does believe in Me, he will live beyond the grave. He who lives, believes in Me, he will ne’er to death succumb. Martha said, You are the Christ; You’re the One who was to come. You’re the Christ, the Son of God; You’re the One who was to come. 4. Martha then her sister called; Mary went to meet the Lord. When she reached Him, knelt in tears, seeking comfort from His word. Jesus, deeply moved, did ask, Where have you his body laid? And He wept when He did see, for His love was very great. Jesus wept and shared their grief, for His love was very great. 5. Jesus then approached the tomb. Take away the stone, He said. But, said Martha, there’s a stench, for four days he has been dead. Jesus said, You now will see God’s great glory—just believe. So they took away the stone, and He prayed, May they believe; Father, thank You, You have heard; may they now in Me believe. 6. Jesus then did give command; in a loud voice He did say, Laz’rus, come out of the tomb! And the dead man did obey. Both his hands and feet were bound, and a cloth did hide his face. Take the grave clothes; let him go, Jesus said to those amazed. Said I not, believe and see God’s great glory in this place? 7. Just as Jesus gave new life to a man when he was dead, He can do the same for all who believe what He has said. For we all in sin are dead; resurrection life we need. Jesus died and rose again, that we might from sin be freed. All who put their trust in Him will not die but live indeed. Languages: English Tune Title: EVERLASTING LOVE

Earth To Earth, And Dust To Dust

Author: George Croly, 178-=1860 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9908 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Earth to earth, and dust to dust Here the evil and the just, Here the youthful and the old, Here the fearful and the bold, Here the matron and the maid, In one silent bed are laid; Here the vassal and the king Side by side lie withering; Here the sword and scepter rust— Earth to earth and dust to dust! 2 Age on age shall roll along O’er this pale and mighty throng; Those that wept them, those that weep, All shall with these sleepers sleep; Brothers, sisters of the worm, Summer’s storm, or winter’s storm, Song of peace, or battle’s roar, Ne’er shall break their slumbers more; Death shall keep his solemn trust— Earth to earth, and dust to dust. 3 But a day is coming fast, Earth, thy mightiest and thy last; It shall come and fear and wonder, Heralded by trump and thunder; It shall come in strife and toil; It shall come in blood and spoil; It shall come in empire’s groans, Burning temples, trampled thrones. Then, Ambition, rue thy lust! Earth to earth and dust to dust! 4 Then shall come the judgment sign, In the east the King shall shine; Flashing from Heav’n’s golden gate, Thousand thousands round His state; Spirits with the crown and plume, Tremble then, thou sullen tomb! Heav’n shall open on our sight, Earth be turned to living light, Kingdoms of the ransomed just— Earth to earth, and dust to dust. 5 Then shall, gorgeous as a gem, Shine thy mount, Jerusalem; Then shall in the desert rise Fruits of more than paradise; Earth by angel feet be trod, One great garden of her God; Till are dried the martyr’s tears Through a glorious thousand years. Now in hope of Him we trust— Earth to earth, and dust to dust! Languages: English Tune Title: ECCE HOMO

Father, By Thy Love And Power

Author: Joseph Anstice Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9992 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Father, by Thy love and power Comes again the evening hour; Light has vanished, labors cease, Weary creatures rest in peace; Thou, whose genial dews distill On the lowliest weed that grows Father, guard our couch from ill, Lull Thy children to repose, We to Thee ourselves resign; Let our latest thoughts be Thine. 2 Savior, to Thy Father bear This our feeble evening prayer; Thou hast seen how oft today We, like sheep, have gone astray; Worldly thoughts, and thoughts of pride, Wishes to Thy cross untrue, Secret faults and undescried, Meet Thy spirit-piercing view; Blessèd Savior, yet, through Thee, Grant that we may pardoned be. 3 Holy Spirit, breath of balm Fall on us in evening’s calm; Yet a while, before we sleep, We with Thee will vigils keep; Lead us on our sins to muse, Give us truest penitence; Then the love of God infuse, Breathing humble confidence; Melt our spirits, mold our will, Soften, strengthen, comfort still. 4 Blessèd Trinity, be near, Through the hours of darkness drear; Then, when shrinks the lonely heart, Thou more clearly present art; Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Watch o’er our defenseless heads; Let Thy angels’ guardian host Keep all evil from our beds, Till the flood of morning rays Wake us to a song of praise.

Who Believes The Tidings?

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11122 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7.7 First Line: Who believes the tidings? Who Lyrics: 1 Who believes the tidings? Who Witnesses that God is true? Sees his sins and follies more Than the sands upon the shore? Sees his works with evil fraught, All his life a constant blot? Sees his heart of virtue void, Alien from the life of God? Tastes in every tainted breath Pride, and self, and sin and death! 2 Who, ah, who deserves to feel Never ending pains in hell? Trembling views his long sought hire, Vengeance of eternal fire? Who hath fruitless toil bestowed To appease the wrath of God? Vain is all thy toil and care, Vain all nature’s treasures are: More to buy one soul it cost, More to save a spirit lost. 3 What, then, wilt thou, canst thou do? Canst thou form thyself anew? Canst thou cleanse a filthy heart, Life to the dead soul impart? Canst Thou thy lost powers restore? Rise, go forth, and sin no more? Never, never can it be, God alone can set thee free! God alone the work hath done, Fought the fight, the battle won. 4 God alone the price hath paid, All thy sins on Him were laid; Happy soul, from guilt set free, Jesus died for thee, for thee! Jesus does for thee atone, Points thee to th’eternal crown, Speaks to thee the kingdom giv’n, Kingdom of an inward heaven, Glorious joy, unuttered peace, All victorious righteousness. 5 Why then do thy fears return? Yet again why dost thou mourn? Why are all thy comforts fled? "Sin revives, and I am dead." Dead alas! thou art within, Still remains the inbred sin; Dead within thou surely art, Still unclean remains thy heart; The untamed rebellious will, Foe to good, enslaved to ill. 6 Soon the Comforter will come, Fix in thee His constant home, With thy heart His witness bear Strong, and permanent, and clear: All thy griefs shall then be gone, Doubt and fear no more be known; Holy love thy heart possess, Silent joy, and steadfast peace; Peace that never can decay, Joy that none can take away. 7 Wrath, and pride and hatred cease, All thy heart is gentleness; Let the waves around thee rise, Let the tempest cloud the skies; Calm thou ever art within, All unruffled, all serene: Thy sure anchor cannot fail, Entered now within the veil; Glad this earth thou canst resign: The new heavens and earth are thine. 8 Why then heave again thy sighs, Heir of all in earth and skies? Still thou feel’st the root within, Bitter root of inbred sin; Nature still in thee hath part, Unrenewed is still thy heart; Still thy heart is unrenewed, Alien from the life of God: Hence with secret earnest moans, Deep unutterable groans. 9 Come, Thou holy God and true! Come, and my whole heart renew; Take me now, possess me whole, Form the Savior in my soul; In my heart Thy name reveal, Stamp me with Thy Spirit’s seal; Change my nature into Thine, In me Thy whole image shine: Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Fill me with Thy fullness now. 10 Happy soul, who now renewed, God in thee, and thou in God, Only feel’st within thee move Tenderness, compassion, love; Love immense and unconfined, Love to all of humankind; Love which willeth all should live, Love which all to all would give; Love that over all prevails, Love that never, ever fails. 11 Stand secure, for thou shalt prove All th’eternity of love. Happy soul, from self and sin Clean, e’en as thy Lord is clean; God hath made thy footsteps sure, Purified as He is pure. God thou dost in all things see, God is all in all to thee; Heav’n above, and earth abroad, All to thee is full of God. 12 Happy soul, whose active love Emulates the blest above, In thy every action seen, Sparkling from the soul within: Thou to every sufferer nigh, Hearest, not in vain, the cry Of the widow in distress, Of the poor and fatherless! Raiment give to all that need, To the hungry deal’st thy bread. 13 To the sick thou give relief, Soothe the hapless prisoner’s grief; Weak the hands thou liftest up, Bid the helpless mourners hope, Give to those in darkness light, Guide the weary wanderer right; Break the roaring lion’s teeth, Save the sinner’s soul from death; Happy Thou, for God doth own Thee, His well belovèd son. 14 Let the sons of Belial rage, Let all hell its powers engage; Brand with infamy thy name, Put thee to an open shame; Let earth’s comforts be withdrawn, Parents, kindred, friends be gone; Happy, O thrice happy thou, Sealed unto redemption now! All in earth thou well hast giv’n, God is thy reward in Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: ECCE HOMO
