Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 316 hymnals Scripture: John 12:27 Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we oppressed with various ills draw near; what if thy form we cannot see? we know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved thee well, and some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, yet from the world they break not free; and some have friends who give them pain, yet have not sought a friend in thee. 5 And none, O Lord, has perfect rest, for none is wholly free from sin; and they who fain would serve thee best are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Christ, thou hast been human too, thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; thy kind but searching glance can view the very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient pow'r; no word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear, in this solemn evening hour, and in thy mercy heal us all.

Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 190 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Stretch'd on the cross the Saviour dies Lyrics: 1 Stretch'd on the cross, the Saviour dies; Hark! his expiring groans arise! See, from his hands, his feet, his side, Runs down the sacred crimson tide! 2 But life attends the deathful sound, And flows from ev'ry bleeding wound; The vital stream, how free it flows, To save and cleanse his rebel foes! 3 To suffer in the traitor's place, To die for man, surprising grace! Yet pass rebellious angels by— O why for man, dear Saviour, why? 4 And didst thou bleed, for sinners bleed? And could the sun behold the deed? No, he withdrew his sick'ning ray, And darkness veil'd the mourning day. 5 Can I survey this scene of woe, Where mingling grief and wonder flow; And yet my heart unmov'd remain, Insensible to love or pain? 6 Come, dearest Lord, thy pow'r impart, To warm this cold, this stupid heart; Till all its pow'rs and passions move In melting grief and ardent love.

See what a living stone

Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: John 12 Lyrics: 1 See what a living Stone the Builders did refuse; Yet God hath built his Church thereon, in Spite of envious Jews. 2 The Scribe and angry Priest reject thine only Son; Yet on this Rock shall Zion rest, as the chief Corner-Stone. 3 The Work, O Lord, is thine, and wondrous in our Eyes: This Day declares it all divine, this Day did Jesus rise. 4 This is the glorious Day that our Redeemer made; Let us rejoice, and sing and pray, let all the Church be glad. 5 Hosanna to the King of David's Royal Blood; Bless him, ye Saints; he comes to bring Salvation from your God. 6 We bless thine holy Word, which all this Grace displays; And offer on thine Altar, Lord, our Sacrifice of Praise.
