My God, My God, I Cry to Thee
Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 My God, My God, I cry to Thee;
O why hast Thou forsaken Me?
Afar from Me, Thou dost not heed,
Though day and night for help I plead.
2 But Thou art holy in Thy ways,
Enthroned upon Thy people's praise;
Our fathers put their trust in Thee,
Believed, and Thou didst set them free.
3 They cried, and, trusting in Thy Name,
Were saved, and were not put to shame;
But in the dust My honor lies,
While all reproach and all despise.
4 My words a cause for scorn they make,
The lip they curl, the head they shake,
And, mocking, bid Me trust the Lord
Till He salvation shall afford.
5 My trust on Thee I learned to rest
When I was on My mother's breast;
From birth Thou art My God alone,
Thy care My life has ever known.
6 O let Thy strength and presence cheer,
For trouble and distress are near;
Be Thou not far away from Me,
I have no source of help but Thee.
7 Unnumbered foes would do Me wrong,
They press about Me, fierce and strong,
Like beasts of prey their rage they vent,
My courage fails, My strength is spent.
8 Down unto death Thou leadest Me,
Consumed by thirst and agony;
With cruel hate and anger fierce
My helpless hands and feet they pierce.
9 While on My wasted form they stare,
The garments torn from Me they share,
My shame and sorrow heeding not,
And for My robe they cast the lot.
10 O Lord, afar no longer stay;
O Thou My helper, haste, I pray;
From death and evil set Me free;
I live, for Thou didst answer Me.
11 I live and will declare Thy fame
Where brethren gather in Thy Name;
Where all Thy faithful people meet,
I will Thy worthy praise repeat. Scripture: Psalm 22 Used With Tune: HEBRON

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,719 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

Deep Were His Wounds, and Red
Save Me, O God, Because the Floods
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, because the floods
Come in upon my soul,
I sink in depths where none can stand,
Deep waters o'er me roll.
2 My constant calling wearies me,
My throat is parched and dried;
My eyes grow dim while for my God
Still waiting I abide.
3 The foes who hate me unprovoked
Are strong and still increase,
Though to disarm their enmity
My right I yield for peace.
4 O God, my folly and my sin
Thy holy eye can see;
Yet save from shame,Lord God of hosts,
Thy saints that wait on Thee.
5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God,
That those who seek Thy face
Should see Thy servant put to shame
And share in my disgrace.
6 It is for Thee I am reproached,
For Thee I suffer shame,
Until my brethren know me not,
And hated is my name.
7 It is my zeal for Thy abode
That has consumed my life;
Reproached by those reproaching Thee,
I suffer in the strife.
8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul,
Yet that was made my shame;
When I in sackcloth clothed myself,
Their byword I became.
9 The men who sit within the gate
With slander do me wrong,
And they who linger at their cups
Make me their jest and song. Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: SAWLEY

As when the Hebrew prophet raised
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases; Church Year Lent; Cross; Eternal Life; God Love and Grace of; Healing / Health; Jesus Christ Lamb of God; Prophets; Salvation Lyrics: 1 As when the Hebrew prophet raised
the brazen serpent high
the wounded looked and straight were cured;
the people ceased to die,
2 so from the Saviour on the cross
a healing virtue flows;
who looks to him with living faith
is saved from endless woes,
3 for God gave up the Son to death,
so generous was that love,
that all the faithful might enjoy
eternal life above.
4 Not to condemn us, or to judge,
the Lamb of God appeared;
no weapons in his hands are seen,
nor voice of terror heard.
5 Christ came to raise our fallen state,
and our lost hopes restore;
faith leads us to the mercy sea,
and bids us fear no more. Scripture: John 3:14-18 Used With Tune: ABRIDGE Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrase
