In the cross of Christ I glory

Appears in 1,545 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent 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 new lustre 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.

Memories holy, most precious and blest

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 Memories holy, most precious and blest, Speak to my spirit of stillness and rest; Gently me lead to Gethsemane's dale; Show me the sufferer trembling and pale, Treading forsaken a path full of thorns, Loving the world, which in turn only scorns. 2 Now I perceive Him in shadows of night, Putting the powers of darkness to flight, Crushed 'neath the load of the sin of the world, Death and damnation around Him are hurled. Thorn-crowned and scourged still the sacrificed Lamb, Lifting His brow, says: "A King yet I am." 3 Show me the cross where He patiently died, There in its shadow myself will I hide, There will I bide His victorious word, Hear him exclaim "It is finished", my Lord There will I praise for His mercy and grace; Suffering and dying He stood in my place.

My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned, Thou innocent Victim for sinners condemned, Thy garments are blood-stained, Thy spirit doth groan, In agony prostrate, Thou sufferest alone. 2 Thou weepest and moanest in conflict and prayer, And writhest in agony, pain and despair; In thirty years' anguish our path Thou has trod, And diest at last to redeem us to God. 3 For me Thou hast labored salvation to win, For me tasted death to atone for my sin; Neglected, forsaken, but mindful of me, Thou prayest for those who have crucified Thee. 4 Thou consecrate Victim, my Passover slain, The gall and the wormwood for me Thou dost drain, That I might be blessed Thou sufferest all woe, And diest at last on me life to bestow. 5 Our Saviour thus finished God's plan with our race, And laid the foundation for pardon and grace, And then rose triumphant, the conquering Lord, Appeased the Creator and mankind restored. 6 Restored to the bliss that was lost in the fall, Yea, greater, for Jesus prepared for us all Eternal salvation and mansions above; Come, poor burdened sinners, rejoice in His love. 7 What is, then, to be reconciled unto God? It is that He silenced the curse by His blood; And what the relation to which we're restored? The right to be counted the friends of the Lord. 8 So come, trembling sinner, come just as thou art, Thy cares and thy sorrows to Jesus impart; In Him seek salvation from death and the grave, For Jesus is willing and might to save.

O little town of Bethlehem

Appears in 883 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy darkness shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God our King, And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels, The great glad tidings tell: Oh, come to us; abide with us, Our Lord Immanuel!

O'er the distant mountains breaking

Appears in 113 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals First Line: O'er the distant mountains breaking Lyrics: 1 O'er the distant mountains breaking Comes the reddening dawn of day; Rise, my soul, from sleep awaking, Rise, and sing, and watch, and pray; 'Tis Thy Saviour, 'Tis Thy Saviour, On His bright returning way. 2 O Thou long-expected! Wear Waits my anxious soul for Thee; Life is dark, and earth is dreary, Where Thy light I do not see; O my Saviour, O my Saviour, When wilt Thou return to me? 3 Nearer is my soul's salvation, Spent the night, the day at hand; Keep me in my lowly station, Watching for Thee, till I stand, O my Saviour, O my Saviour, In Thy bright and promsied land. 4 With my lamp, well trimmed and burning, Swift to hear and slow to roam, Watching for Thy glad returning, To restore me to my home. Come, my Saviour, Come, my Saviour, Thou hast promised; quickly come.

Praise the Saviour!

Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Easter First Line: Praise the Saviour Lyrics: 1 Praise the Saviour, Now and ever! Praise Him all beneath the skies! Prostrate lying, Suffering, dying, On the cross a Sacrifice; Victory gaining, Life obtaining, Now in glory He doth rise. 2 All is finished, And accomplished; Christ is now our Righteousness, He our Saviour, Hath forever Set us free from dire distress. Through His merit We inherit Light and peace and happiness. 3 We're delivered; Our bonds severed, Christ hath bruised the serpent's head; Death no longer Is the stronger, Hell itself is captive led. Christ hath risen From death's prison, O'er the tomb He light hath shed. 4 Praise for ever For His favor Unto God the Father sing; Praise the Saviour, Praise Him ever. Son of God, our Lord and King; Praise the Spirit, Through Christ's merit He doth us salvation bring.

Prepare the way, O Zion!

Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 Prepare the way, O Zion! Ye awful deeps, rise high, Sink low, ye towering mountains, The Lord is drawing nigh: The righteous King of glory, Foretold in sacred story. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 2 O Zion, He approacheth, Thy Lord and King for aye! Palm-branches strew with gladness Spread garments in His way. God's promise faileth never, Hosianna sound forever! Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion, And hail Thy glorious King; His tidings of salvation To every people bring, Who, waiting yet in sadness Would sing His praise with gladness. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 4 He cometh not with warriors, And not with pomp and show; Yet smiteth He with terror Sin, death, and every foe. The Spirit's sword He wieldeth, Not e'en to death He yieldeth, Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name. 5 Give heed, thou sinful people, Thy King and Saviour own: The kingdom which He foundeth Is not an earthly one; No power can overthrow it, Nor earthly wisdom know it. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 6 The throne which He ascendeth Is fixed in heaven above: His sanctified dominion Is light alone and love. With grace and peace abounding His praise be ever sounding. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 7 Jerusalem is fallen, And closed its temple-door; Its sacrifices ended; Its scepter is no more. Christ's kingdom never ceaseth, Its glory still increaseth. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name!

Rejoice, all ye believers

Appears in 334 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, The darker night is near, The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh. Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle,-- At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide-open stand: Up, up, ye heirs of glory. The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted; We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee!

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choir of angel voices, Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted, To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee! Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan, He by death hath spoiled His foes. 3 Now our heavenly Aaron enters With His blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan. And the kings before Him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 4 He hath raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Him in glory stand: Jesus reigns adored by angels: Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.

The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Appears in 527 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His by Sovereign right: The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His Name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. 6 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.
