The Love that Clothes Itself in Light

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; God Love of Lyrics: 1 The Love that clothes itself in light, stands naked now, despised, betrayed, receiving blows to face and head from hands that Love itself has made. 2 The Love that lifts the stars and sun, collapses, spent, beneath the cross; the Love that fills the universe, goes on to death and total loss. 3 Love, helpless, comes to Calvary, rejected, scorned and crucified; Love hangs in shame, and dies alone, but Love abased, is glorified. 4 Extinguished with the sun at noon, Love's light transcends all history; Love, wrapped in linen, Love entombed, still wraps all heaven in mystery. 5 Though Love is lost, Love finds us here; though Love is absent, Love remains; where Love is finished, Love begins; where Love is dead, Love lives and reigns!

They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown; that thorns would flower upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak; your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all. Scripture: Matthew 27:27-31 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

"Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "nor let that ransomed sinner die!" 4 My God is reconciled; his pard'ning voice I hear; he owns me for his child, I can no longer fear; with confidence I now draw nigh, with confidence I now draw nigh, and "Father, Abba, Father!" cry.

All My Heart This Night Rejoices

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.3.3.6 D Appears in 277 hymnals Topics: Christ Passion and Atoning Death of Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices as I hear far and near sweetest angel voices. "Christ is born," their choirs are singing 'til the air ev'rywhere now with joy is ringing. 2 Forth today the Conqu'ror goeth, who the foe, sin and woe, death and hell, o'erthroweth. God is man, man to deliver; his dear Son now is one with our blood forever. 3 Shall we still dread God's displeasure, who, to save, freely gave his most cherished Treasure? To redeem us, he hath given his own Son from the throne of his might in heaven. 4 He becomes the Lamb that taketh sin away and for aye full atonement maketh. For our life his own he tenders; and our race, by his grace, fit for glory renders. 5 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, soft and sweet, doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger. Brethren, from all ills that grieve you, you are freed; all you need I will surely give you." 6 Come, then, banish all your sadness, one and all, great and small; come with songs of gladness. Love him who with love is glowing; hail the star, near and far light and joy bestowing. 7 Dearest Lord, thee will I cherish. Though my breath fail in death, yet I shall not perish, but with thee abide forever there on high, in that joy which can vanish never.
