O Thou, the Eternal Son of God
Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: Hymns on the Passion; Good Friday Used With Tune: WINDSOR
O Thou, the Eternal Son of God
The Saviour comes! no outward pomp
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Saviour comes! no outward pomp
Bespeaks His presence nigh;
No earthly beauty shines in Him
To draw the carnal eye.
2 Rejected and despised of men,
Behold a Man of woe!
And grief His close companion still
Through all His life below!
3 Yet all the griefs He felt were ours,
Ours were the woes He bore;
Pangs, not His own, His spotless soul
With bitter anguish tore.
4 We held Him as condemned of heaven,
An outcast from His God;
While for our sins He groaned, He bled,
Beneath His Father's rod.
5 His sacred blood hath washed our souls
From sin's polluting stain;
His stripes have healed us, and His death
Revived our souls again.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray
In ruin’s fatal road;
On Him were our transgressions laid;
He bore the mighty load.
7 He died to bear the guilt of men,
That sin might be forgiven;
He lives to bless them and defend,
And plead their cause in heaven.

But If Thou Wilt Not Save Us Here
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 But if Thou wilt not save us here
From the tormentor’s power,
Faithful to death we persevere,
And meet the fiery hour.
2 We will not bow our heart or knee,
And live to idols joined,
Assured the life we lose for these
In paradise to find. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
But If Thou Wilt Not Save Us Here
My God, How Many Are My Fears
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, how many are my fears!
How fast my foes increase!
Conspiring my eternal death,
They break my present peace.
2. The lying tempter would persuade
There’s no relief in Heav’n;
And all my swelling sins appear
Too big to be forgiv’n.
3. But Thou, my glory and my strength,
Shalt on the tempter tread,
Shalt silence all my threatening guilt,
And raise my drooping head.
4. I cried, and from His holy hill
He bowed a listening ear;
I called my Father, and my God,
And He subdued my fear.
5. He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes,
In spite of all my foes;
I woke, and wondered at the grace
That guarded my repose.
6. What though the hosts of death and hell
All armed against me stood,
Terrors no more shall shake my soul;
My refuge is my God.
7. Arise, O Lord, fulfill Thy grace,
While I Thy glory sing;
My God has broke the serpent’s teeth,
And death has lost his sting.
8. Salvation to the Lord belongs;
His arm alone can save;
Blessings attend Thy people here,
And reach beyond the grave. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Con Gratitud, al Celebrar
Why Should I Vex My Soul?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: Why should I vex my soul, and fret Lyrics: 1. Why should I vex my soul, and fret
To see the wicked rise?
Or envy sinners waxing great
By violence and lies?
2. As flowery grass, cut down at noon,
Before the evening fades,
So shall their glories vanish soon
In everlasting shades.
3. Then let me make the Lord my trust,
And practice all that’s good;
So shall I dwell among the just,
And He’ll provide me food.
4. I to my God my ways commit,
And cheerful wait His will;
Thy hand, which guides my doubtful feet,
Shall my desires fulfill.
5. Mine innocence shalt Thou display,
And make Thy judgments known,
Fair as the light of dawning day,
And glorious as the noon.
6. The meek at last the earth possess,
And are the heirs of Heav’n;
True riches, with abundant peace,
To humble souls are giv’n.
7. Rest in the Lord, and keep His way,
Nor let your anger rise,
Though Providence should long delay
To punish haughty vice.
8. Let sinners join to break your peace,
And plot, and rage, and foam;
The Lord derides them, for He sees
Their day of vengeance come.
9. They have drawn out the threatening sword,
Have bent the murderous bow,
To slay the men that fear the Lord,
And bring the righteous low.
10. My God shall break their bows, and burn
Their persecuting darts,
Shall their own swords against them turn,
And pain surprise their hearts. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

In Grief and Fear, to Thee, O Lord
Author: William Bullock, 1798-1874 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In grief and fear, to Thee, O Lord,
We now for succor fly,
Thine awful judgments are abroad,
O shield us, lest we die!
2. The fell disease on every side
Walks forth with tainted breath;
And pestilence, with rapid stride,
Bestrews the land with death.
3. O look with pity on the scene
Of sadness and of dread,
And let Thine angel stand between
The living and the dead!
4. With contrite hearts to Thee, our king
We turn, who oft have strayed;
Accept the sacrifice we bring,
And let the plague be stayed. Used With Tune: WINDSOR

Today, O Lord, a Holier Work
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler & others Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Today, O Lord, a holier work
Thy secret counsels frame,
A king to rule Thy new made world,
To praise Thy glorious name.
2. Thou formest man: Thy Spirit breathes
Life into dust of earth:
Man, in Thine own true image made,
From Thee receives his birth.
3. And henceforth he dominion holds
O’er all in earth and sea;
Yet mindful whence his being came
Must humbly walk with Thee.
4. Alas! his willful heart rebels
Against Thy gentle sway;
Proud dust of earth would fain be like
The God whom all obey.
5. O griefs and sorrows numberless,
Which hence the world o’erspread;
Jesu, Thy mercy succored us,
Or hope itself had fled.
6. O praise the Father, and the Son
Who saved us by His death,
And Holy Ghost who quickens us
With His life giving breath. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1736; translated by John Chandler & the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern
