What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #118 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone Around Thy steps below! What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe! 2 For, ever on Thy burden'd heart A weight of sorrow hung; Yet no ungentle, murm'ring word Escaped Thy silent tongue. 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile, Thy friends unfaithful prove; Unwearied in forgiveness still, Thy heart could only love. 4 Oh, give us hearts to love like Thee! Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve Far more for others' sin than all The wrongs that we receive. 5 One with Thyself, may ev'ry eye In us, Thy brethren, see That gentleness and grace that spring From union, Lord, with Thee.

How beauteous were the marks divine

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #119 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 How beauteous were the marks divine That in Thy meekness used to shine, That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod In wondrous love, O Son of God! 2 Oh, who like Thee, so calm, so bright, So pure, so made to live in light? Oh, who like Thee did ever go So patient through a world of woe? 3 E'en death, which sets the prisoner free, Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to Thee; Yet love through all Thy torture glow'd, And mercy with Thy life-blood flow'd. 4 Oh, in Thy light be mine to go, Illuming all this way of woe! And give me ever on the road To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God! Languages: English

Go to dark Gethsemane

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #120 (1870) Topics: Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraign'd; Oh, the wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs His soul sustain'd! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay-- All is solitude and gloom-- Who hath taken Him away? Christ is risen; He meets our eyes! Saviour, teach us so to rise. Languages: English

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #121 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all His life was He, A dying Lamb at last! 2 That tender heart, which felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place Save only in the grave! 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreath'd His brow with thorn? 4 No: facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill. 5 Dead to the world, with Him who died to win our hearts, our love, We, risen with our risen Head, In spirit dwell above.

And is the gospel peace and love?

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #129 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Example of Christ Lyrics: 1 And is the gospel peace and love? Such let our conversation be; The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene'er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife On Jesus let us fix our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life. 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do his heav'nly Father's will, Was his employment and delight: Humility and holy zeal Shone thro' his life divinely bright. 5 Dispensing good where'er he came, The labours of his life were love: If then we love the Saviour's name, Let his divine example move!

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee

John Hampden Gurney (1802-1862) Hymnal: The Hymnal #145 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christ Example of Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee, And plead to be forgiven, So let Thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven. 2 Help us through good report and ill Our daily cross to bear, Like Thee, to do our Father's will, Our brethren's griefs to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine, And kindness in our bosoms dwell, As free and true as Thine. 4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly, And grief's dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, "Father, Thy will be done." 5 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, O may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow Thee to heaven. Amen. Tune Title: ST. COLUMBA (IRISH)

Amen. Tune Title: WINDRUSH
