above earth’s lamentation.

No storm can shake my inmost calm
while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,

I hear that music ringing.
It finds an echo in my soul.
How can I keep from singing? [Refrain]

I know my Savior liveth.
What though the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night he giveth. [Refrain]

a fountain ever springing!
All things are mine since I am his!

And He hath made me glad.

Stoop down, and drink and live."

Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.

"I am this dark world's Light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise
And all thy day be bright!"

Till travelling days are done. Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
Author: James Waddell Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 733 hymnals Topics: Living in Christ Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down;
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown;
O sacred head, what glory,
what bliss till now was thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
was all for sinners’ gain:
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
’Tis I deserve thy place;
look on me with thy favor,
and grant to me thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee. Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-5 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Latin, 12th or 13th cent.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 522 hymnals Topics: Living in Christ Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways;
reclothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise.
2 In simple trust like theirs who heard
beside the Syrian sea
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word
rise up and follow thee.
3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee,
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love!
4 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace.
5 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire,
O still, small voice of calm!
Scripture: 1 Kings 9:1-13 Used With Tune: REST
Dear Lord and Father of Mankind
In the Cross of Christ I Glory
Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,534 hymnals Topics: Living in Christ Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o’er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o’ertake me,
hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
never shall the cross forsake me;
lo, it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
light and love upon my way,
from the cross the radiance streaming
adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
by the cross are sanctified;
peace is there that knows no measure,
joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory,
towering o’er the wrecks of time;
all the light of sacred story
gathers round its head sublime. Scripture: Isaiah 35:10 Used With Tune: RATHBUN
