Take Up Your Cross, the Saviour Said

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle

Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15:12-24 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle; of the mighty conflict sing: tell the triumph of the victim, to his cross your tribute bring. Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer, from that cross now reigns as King. 2 When at length the appointed fullness of the sacred time was come, he was sent, the world's Creator, from the Father's heavenly home and was found in human fashion offspring of the Virgin's womb. 3 When the thirty years were ended which on earth he willed to see, willingly he meets his passion, born to set his people free; on the cross the Lamb is lifted, there the sacrifice to be. 4 There the nails and spear he suffers, vinegar and gall and reed; from his sacred body pierced blood and water both proceed: precious flood, which all creation from the stain of sin has freed. 5 Faithful cross, above all other, one and only noble tree, none in foliage, none in blossom, none in fruit your peer may be; sweet the wood and sweet the iron, and your load, most sweet is he. 6 Praise and honour to the Father, praise and honour to the Son, praise and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One: One in might and One in glory while eternal ages run.

Jesus, Refuge of the Weary

Author: Jane F.

Yet, upon the cross extended, Thou didst bear the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Tho' we see Thee wounded, bleeding, See Thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet Thy sinless death hath bro't us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what Thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for Thee! May our eyes be ever turning To Thy cross of agony Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Savior's side, Graven in our hearts forever Dwell the cross, the Crucified! Amen.

Hymn 37 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15:20 First Line: The mighty frame of glorious grace Lyrics: The mighty frame of glorious grace, That brightest monument of praise That e'er the God of love designed, Employs and fills my lab'ring mind. Begin, my soul, the heav'nly song, A burden for an angel's tongue: When Gabriel sounds these awful things, He tunes and summons all his stungs. Proclaim inimitable love: Jesus, the Lord of worlds above, Puts off the beams of bright array, And veils the God in mortal clay! What black reproach defiled his name, When with our sins he took our shame! He whom adoring angels blessed Is made the impious rebel's jest. He that distributes crowns and thrones Hangs on a tree, and bleeds, and groans! The Prince of Life resigns his breath, The King of Glory bows to death! But see the wonders of his power, He triumphs in his dying hour; And while by Satan's rage he fell, He dashed the rising hopes of hell. Thus were the hosts of death subdued, And sin was drowned in Jesus' blood; Thus he arose, and reigns above, And conquers sinners by his love. Who shall fulfil this boundless song? The theme surmounts an angel's tongue: How low, how vain are mortal airs, When Gabriel's nobler harp despairs!
