What Wondrous Love Is This

Author: Claude Rozier Meter: 12.9.12.9 Appears in 257 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year A First Line: What wondrous love is this, O my soul (Ô merveilleux amour pour ma vie) Lyrics: 1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul. 2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, to lay aside his crown for my soul. 3 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing, to God and to the Lamb, I will sing: to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM, while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing; while millions join the theme I will sing. 4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on; and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on; And through eternity I’ll sing on.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year A; Lent 2 Year B; Lent 2 Year C Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts; Pauline Martin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,056 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year B First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Quand je me tourne vers la croix) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small: love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. 1 Quand je me tourne vers le croix où Christ expire su le bois mon coeur blessé rempli du deuil, prend en dégoût mon fol orgueil. 2 Qui donc pourrait calmer ce coeur hormis la crois de mon Sauveur? Tous mes plaisirs, mes vains désirs, je veux, ô Christ, te les offrir. 3 Oh vois, des mains, de son côté, du front d'épines couronné, douleur, angoisse, amour mêlés, descendre pour nous racheter. 4 Si je t'offrais le monde entier ce don serait pris es pitié. Amour si grand, si pur, si doux veut âme, corps, mon coeur, mon tout! Used With Tune: COMMUNION (ROCKINGHAM)

O Love, How Deep

Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year C First Line: O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high! It fills the heart with ecstasy, that God, in Jesus Christ, should take our mortal form for mortals' sake. 2 God sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place, but wore the robe of human frame, and freely to this lost world came. 3 For us he was baptized, and bore a holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharply knew; for us the tempter overthrew. 4 For us he prayed; for us he taught; for us great daily works were wrought, by words, and signs, and actions, thus still seeking not himself, but us. 5 For us to wicked foes betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath. 6 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. 7 To God whose boundless love has won salvation for us through the Son, to God all praise and glory be both now and through eternity.
