Fill all my soul with chaste desire.

Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice.

Still to press forward in Thy way;
That all my powers, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite.

Beneath Thy scepter or Thy rod.

To bear, and fight, and die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.

When he, victorious rose,
And left the lonesome place of death,
Despite the rage of foes;

Shall this fair morning be,
When Christ, our King, in beauty comes,
And we his face shall see.

And earth's dark night is past:
O haste the rising of that morn,
The day that aye shall last;
6 And let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.

And light and beauty brings:
Hail Christ the Lord! thy people pray,
Come quickly, King of kings.

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded,
With thorns Thine only crown!
Once reigning in the highest
In light and majesty,
Dishonored now Thou diest,
Yet here I worship Thee.
2 How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn!
How does that visage languish,
Which once was bright as morn!
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
Was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
3 Lo, here I fall, my Saviour,
'Tis I deserve Thy place:
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
Receive me, my Redeemer;
My Shepherd, make me Thine,
Of every good the Fountain,
Thou art the Spring of mine!
4 What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end!
Oh, make me Thine forever,
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.
5 Forbid that I should leave Thee;
O Jesus, leave not me;
In faith may I receive Thee,
When death shall set me free.
When strength and comfort languish,
And I must hence depart,
Release me then from anguish
By thine own wounded heart.

Our Christ hath brought us over
With hymns of victory.

That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection light,
And, listening to His accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All hail!"--and hearing,
May raise the victor-strain.
3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin,
The wide world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen
Their notes together blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,
Our Joy that hath no end.
Amen.

Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain]

Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints attending
Swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
God appears on earth to reign.
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing, Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heav'n and earth, shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment! Come to judgment!
Come to judgment, come away!
4 Now Redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
Alleluia! Alleluia!
See the day of God appear!

High on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the pow'r and glory,
Claim the kingdom for thine own:

Shakes the vast creation round.

Clothed in majesty divine;
You who long for his appearing
Then shall say, This God is mine!
Gracious Saviour,
Own me in that day as thine.

Rise to life from earth and sea;
All the pow'r of nature, shaken
By his looks, prepare to flee.
Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?

Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, Come near, ye blessed,
See the kingdom I bestow;
You for ever
Shall my love and glory know.

Let pain and sorrow die with sin:

Canst make thy scattered people one.

On ev'ry home his shadows fall,
On ev'ry heart his mark is found:

Can never cloud thy glorious reign.

For gloomy night broods o'er our way;
And weakly souls begin to fall
With weary watching for the day:

No eye is blind, no night is known.

When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room
For Thy holy nativity.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:
There is room in my heart for Thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang,
Proclaiming Thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth,
And in great humility.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus"
There is room in my heart for Thee.
3 The foxes found rest, and the bird had its nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:
There is room in my heart for Thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word
That should set Thy children free;
But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary.
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus:
There is room in my heart for Thee.
5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing
At Thy coming to victory,
Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at my side for thee."
My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest to call for me.
