Beloved Jesus, what law hast Thou broken

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #61 (1893) Meter: 11.5 Lyrics: 1 BELOVED Jesus, what law hast Thou broken, That such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken? Of what great crime hast Thou to make confession, What dark transgression? 2 They crown Thy head with thorns, they smite, they scourge Thee, With cruel mockings to the cross they urge Thee, They give Thee gall to drink, they still decry Thee, They crucify Thee. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which Thou, Lord, must languish; Yes, all the wrath, the woe Thou dost inherit, This I do merit. 4 What strangest punishment is suffered yonder? The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander, The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him, Who would not know Him. 5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness; The sinful child of man may live in gladness; Man forfeited his life, and is acquitted, God is committed. 6 There was no spot in me by sin untainted, Sick with its venom all my heart had fainted; My heavy guilt to hell had well nigh brought me, Such woe it wrought me. 7 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, That brought Thee here by foes and thieves surrounded; All worldly pleasures, heedless, I was trying, While Thou wert dying! 8 O mighty King, no time can dim Thy glory! How shall I spread abroad Thy wondrous story? How shall I find some worthy gifts to proffer? What dare I offer? 9 For vainly doth our human wisdom ponder Thy woes, Thy mercy still transcend our wonder. O how should I do aught that could delight Thee! Can I requite Thee? 10 Yet unrequited, Lord, I would not leave Thee; I will renounce whate’er doth vex or grieve Thee, And quench with thoughts of Thee and prayers most lowly All fires unholy. 11 But since my own strength never will suffice me To crucify desires that still entice me, To all good deeds, O let Thy Spirit win me, And reign within me! 12 I’ll think upon Thy mercy without ceasing, That earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing; To do Thy will shall be my sole endeavor Henceforth forever. 13 Whate’er of earthly good this life may grant me I’ll risk for Thee; no shame, no cross, shall daunt me; I shall not fear what man can do to harm me, Nor death alarm me. 14 But, worthless is my sacrifice, I own it; Yet Lord, for love’s sake Thou wilt not disown it; Thou wilt accept my gift in Thy great meekness, Nor shame my weakness. 15 And when, dear Lord, before Thy throne in heaven, To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns Thy saints forever raise Thee, I too shall praise Thee.

Christ, the Life of all the living

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #62 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 CHRIST, the Life of all the living, Christ, the Death of death our foe, Who Thyself for me once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Madest reconciliation, And didst save me from damnation: Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, ah! Thou, hast taken on Thee Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, 0 Thou sinless Son of God! Thus didst Thou my soul deliver From the bonds of sin forever. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only That my wounds might all be whole; Thou didst suffer, sad and lonely, Rest to give my weary soul; Yea, the curse of God enduredst, Blessing unto me securedst. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 4 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee, Treating Thee with shameful scorn, E'en with piercing thorns they crowned Thee; All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne, That as Thine Thou mightest own me, And with heavenly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 5 Thou didst suffer men to bruise Thee, That from pain I might be free; Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee; Thence I gain security; Comfortless once Thou didst languish, Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 6 Thou didst suffer great affliction, And endue it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, That Thou might'st atone for me; Thou didst choose to be tormented, That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 7 That Thou wast so meek and stainless, Doth atone for my proud mood; And Thy death makes dying painless, All thy ills have wrought our good. Yea, thy deep humiliation Tendeth to my exaltation. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 8 Then, for all that wrought our pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the garden, I will thank Thee evermore; Thank Thee for Thy groaning and sighing, For Thy bleeding and Thy dying, For that last most bitter cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #64 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 COME to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all; In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Saviour died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace, may find: Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break His covenant in blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.

Enslaved by sin, and bound in chains

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #65 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 ENSLAVED by sin, and bound in chains, Beneath its dreadful tyrant sway, And doomed to everlasting pains, We wretched, guilty captives lay. 2 Nor gold nor gems could buy our peace: Nor the whole world's collected store Suffice to purchase our release; A thousand worlds were all too poor. 3 Jesus, the Lord, the mighty God, An all-sufficient ransom paid: O matchless price! His precious blood For vile, rebellious traitors shed. 4 Jesus the sacrifice became To rescue guilty souls from hell; The spotless, bleeding, dying Lamb Beneath avenging justice fell. 5 Amazing goodness! love divine! O may our grateful hearts adore The matchless grace; nor yield to sin, Nor wear its cruel fetters more! Topics: Passion Languages: English

Go to dark Gethsemane

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #66 (1893) Lyrics: 1 GO to dark Gethsemane, All who 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 arraigned: O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn from Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary'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 from 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. Topics: Passion Languages: English

In the cross of Christ I glory

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #68 (1893) Meter: 8.7 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.

Jesus, grant that balm and healing

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #69 (1893) Meter: 8.7.7.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, grant that balm and healing In Thy holy wounds I find, Every hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind. Should some evil thought upstart, Let Thy cross defend my heart, Show the peril, and from sinning Keep me ere its first beginning. 2 Should some lust or sharp temptation Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Let me think upon Thy passion, And the breach is soon made good. Or should Satan make his way To my heart, O let me say: "Jesus Christ for me was wounded," And the Tempter flees confounded. 3 If the world my heart entices On the broad and easy road, Filled with mirth and pleasant vices, Let me think upon the load Thou didst once for me endure, That I flee all thoughts impure, Banishing each wild emotion, Calm and blest in my devotion. 4 Yes, whate'er may pain or grieve me, Let Thy wounds, Lord, make me whole; When I'm faint, let them revive me, Granting new life to my soul. May Thy comfort render sweet Every bitter cup I meet, Thou who by Thy death and passion Hast procured my soul's salvation! 5 O my God, my Rock and Tower! Grant that in Thy death I trust, Knowing death has lost his power Since Thou trod'st him in the dust. Saviour, let Thine agony Ever help and comfort me; Let thy death be my protection, Safety, life, and resurrection. 6 Jesus, grant that balm and healing In Thy holy wounds I find, Every hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind; And when I this world must leave. Grant that, Lord, to Thee I cleave, In Thy wounds find consolation, And obtain my soul's salvation. Topics: Passion Languages: English

Jesus, I will ponder now

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #70 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I will ponder now On Thy holy passion; With Thy Spirit me endow For such meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Thy suffering, pain and death, That I might not perish. 2 Let me see Thy great distress, Anguish and affliction, Bonds and stripes, and wretchedness, And Thy crucifixion; Let me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails did wound Thee, How for man Thou diedst, O God, Who with thorns had crowned Thee. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Let me see Thy passion, But its cause to me make known, And its termination. Ah! I also and my sin Wrought thy deep affliction; This the real cause hath been Of Thy crucifixion. 4 Grant that I Thy passion view With repentant grieving, Nor Thee crucify anew By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Every sinful pleasure, Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let Thy cross my fear disarm, Peace of conscience give me. Grant that I may trust in Thee By Thy holy passion; If His Son so loveth me, God must have compassion. 6 Grant that I may willingly Bear with Thee my crosses, Learning humbleness of Thee, Peace 'midst pain and losses; Let me give Thee love for love. Hear me, O my Saviour, That I may in heaven above Sing Thy praise forever. Topics: Passion Languages: English
