Author: Catherine Winkworth; Ernst Christoph Homburg Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 Christ the Life of all the living, Christ the Death of death, our foe, Who Thyself for us once giving To the darkest depths of woe, Patiently didst yield Thy breath But to save my soul from death; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee. 2 Thou, ah Thou, hast taken on Thee Bitter strokes, a cruel rod; Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee, O Thou sinless Son of God, Only thus for me to win Rescue from the bonds of sin; Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou didst bear the smiting only That it might not fall on me; Stoodest falsely charged and lonely, That I might be safe and free; Comfortless that I might know Comfort from Thy boundless woe. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee. 4 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 with my latest breath For Thy sad and cruel death, For that last and bitter cry; Praise Thee evermore on high. Amen. Used With Tune: JESU, MEINES LEBENS LEBEN

Sun, and moon, and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So a soul that’s born of God Pants to view His glorious face; Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn! Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Savior will return, To take thee to the skies; There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest in heaven, There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.
