Come, let our mournful songs record

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #123 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When he expir'd in shame and blood, Like one forsaken of his God. 2 The Jews beheld him thus forlorn, And shook their heads, and laugh'd in scorn; "He rescu'd others from the grave; Now let him try himself to save." 3 O harden'd people! cruel priests! How they stood round like savage beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their pow'r! 4 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, Till streams of blood each other meet: By lot his garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which he died. 5 But, gracious God! thy pow'r and love Have made his death a blessing prove. Tho' once upon the cross he bled, Immortal honours crown his head. 6 Thro' Christ the Son our guilt forgive, And let the mourning sinner live! The Lord will hear us in his name; Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame. Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death; The Passion of Christ

Come, my fond fluttering heart

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #269 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Come, my fond fluttering heart, Come, struggle to be free, Thou and the world must part, However hard it be: My trembling spirit owns it just, But cleaves yet closer to the dust. 2 Ye tempting sweets, forbear, Ye dearest idols, fall; My heart ye must not share, Jesus shall have it all: ‘Tis bitter pain, ‘tis cruel smart, But ah! thou must consent, my heart! 3 Ye fair enchanting throng! Ye golden dreams, farewell! Earth has prevail'd too long, And now I break the spell: Ye cherish'd joys of early years, Jesus, forgive these parting tears. 4 But must I part with all? My heart still fondly pleads, Yes--Dagon's self must fall, It beats, it throbs, it bleeds. Is there no balm in Gilead found To sooth and heal the smarting wound? 5 O yes, there is a balm, A kind physician there, My fever'd mind to calm, To bid me not despair: Aid me, dear Saviour, set me free, And I will all resign to thee. 6 O may I feel thy worth, And let no idol dare, No vanity of earth, With thee, my Lord, compare: Now bid all worldly joys depart, And reign supremely in my heart!

Come, said Jesus' sacred voice

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #221 (1828) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Come, said Jesus' sacred voice, Come, and make my paths your choice: I will guide you to your home! Weary pilgrim, hither come! 2 Thou, who, houseless, sole, forlorn, Long hast borne the proud world's scorn, Long hast roam'd the barren waste; Weary pilgrim, hither haste! 3 Ye, who, toss'd on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain: Ye, whose swoll'n and sleepless eyes Watch to see the morning rise. 4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, Guilt, in strong remorse, who mourn: Here repose your heavy care: Conscience wounded who can bear? 5 Sinner, come! for here is found Balm that flows for ev'ry wound, Peace that ever shall endure; Rest eternal, sacred, sure.

Come, Saviour Jesus, from above!

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #342 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, Saviour Jesus, from above! Assist me with thy heavenly grace; Empty my heart of earthly love, And for thyself prepare the place. 2 O let thy sacred presence fill, And set my longing spirit free; Which pants to have not other will, But night and day to feast on thee. 3 While in this region here below, No other good will I pursue; I'll bid this world of noise and show, With all its glitt'ring snares, adieu. 4 That path with humble speed I'll seek, In which my Saviour's footsteps shine; Now will I hear, nor will I speak, Of any other love but thine. 5 Henceforth may no profane delight Divide this consecrated soul; Possess it thou, who hast the right, As Lord and master of the whole. 6 Nothing on earth do I desire, But thy pure love within my breast; This, only this, will I require, And freely give up all the rest.

Come see on bloody Calvary

Hymnal: HSAO1828 #523 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come see on bloody Calvary, Suspended on th'accursed tree, A harmless suff'rer cover'd o'er With shame, and welt'ring in his gore. 2 Is this the Saviour long foretold To usher in the age of gold? To make the reign of sorrow cease, And bind the jarring world in peace? 3 'Tis He, 'tis He!--he kindly shrouds His glories in a night of clouds, That souls might from their ruin rise, And heir th'imperishable skies. 4 See, to their refuge and their rest, From all the bonds of guilt releas'd, Transgressors to his cross repair, And find a full redemption there. 5 Jesus, what millions of our race Have been the triumphs of thy grace! And millions more to thee shall fly, And on thy sacrifice rely. Topics: Meditating on the Cross of Christ; The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper
