O bleeding Head and wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O bleeding Head, and wounded, And full of pain and scorn, In mockery surrounded With cruel crown of thorn; O Head! before adorned With grace and majesty, Insulted now and scorned, All hail I bid to Thee! 2 They spit upon and jeer Thee, Thou noble countenance! Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee, And flee before Thy glance. How hath Thy color faded, The light too of Thine eye! Say who to pale hath made it? None shone so brilliantly! 3 Now from Thy cheeks has vanished Their color once so fair; From Thy red lips is banished The splendor that was there. Death’s might hath all things taken, Hath robbed Thee ruthlessly; Thy frame, of strength forsaken, Doth hence in weakness lie. 4 O Lord! it was my burden That brought this woe on Thee, I earned it--for my pardon It has been borne by Thee. A child of wrath, look on me, Turn not away Thy face; O Savior! deign to own me, And smile on me in grace. 5 My Guardian, now confess me, My Shepherd, me receive! Thou evermore dost bless me, All good things dost Thou give, Thy lips have often given Me milk and sweetest food, And many a taste of heaven Thy Spirit hath bestow’d. 6 O do not, Lord, deride me, I will not hence depart, Here will I stand beside Thee, When breaks Thine anguished heart; When on Thy breast is sinking In death’s last fatal grasp Thy head, e’en then unshrinking Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp. 7 Naught ever so much blesses, So much rejoices me, As when in Thy distresses I share a part with Thee. My Life, ah! were it ever Vouchsafed me at Thy cross My spirit to deliver, How blessed were my loss! 8 Thanks from my heart I offer Thee, Jesus, dearest Friend, For all that Thou didst suffer; My good didst Thou intend. Ah! grant that I may ever To Thy truth faithful be, And in the last death-shiver May I be found in Thee. 9 When hence I must betake me And death at last must meet, Lord, do not then forsake me, Thy child with welcome greet; When terror has bereft me, Of heart and hope, again, Lord! from my woe uplift me, In virtue of Thy pain. 10 Be Thou my consolation And shield, when I must die; Let me behold Thy passion, When my last hour draws nigh; My dim eyes then shall see Thee, Upon Thy cross shall dwell, My heart by faith enfold Thee; Who dieth thus, dies well!

O Sacred Head, With Anguish

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, with anguish And sore distress weigh'd down! O sacred Head, surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown! O sacred Head, what honor, What glory once was Thine! Yet even now I greet Thee And gladly call Thee mine. 2 What Thou, O Lord, hast suffer'd I should myself have borne; I verily am guilty Of all Thy grief and scorn. Behold, here stands a sinner Who naught deserves but woe: Do Thou, O my Redeemer, On me Thy grace bestow. 3 Here will I stand beside Thee; O Lord, disdain Thou not To keep me in Thy presence Till death shall be Thy lot. When in Thy dying moments Thy noble heart shall break, Then shall may arms enfold Thee, Though all Thy cross forsake. 4 My Shepherd and my Guardian, Pray, know me as Thine own; Thou, Fount of every blessing, Great love to me hast shown, Thy lips have often fed me With milk and honey sweet; Thy Spirit oft hath made me To be with joy replete. 5 With all my heart I thank Thee, O Jesus, dearest Friend, That with Thy dying anguish Thou all my woes wouldst end, O keep me ever faithful, Depending on Thy grace, That I, in Thee departing, May see Thee face to face.

We Love to Sound Your Praises

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: We love to sound yoiur praises To lift our hands above Lyrics: We love to sound your praises, To lift our hands above, To sing how grace amazes, To celebrate your love. Yet, God, your world is grieving; Is your heart breaking, too? May we cry out, believing Laments can honor you. Like Jeremiah, crying For cities that were lost, We see the children dying Who know war’s awful cost. Each day repeats the story; Sin takes its toll again. How can we sing your glory When our hearts break with them? The scope of sin is broader Than what the late news tells; Rejecting living water, We dig our broken wells. In gods of our own making We look for joy each day; O God, is your heart breaking When we all turn away? O God, you came to save us In Christ, your suffering Son. In his death you forgave us; In his life, joy is won! And when this world is suffering, When songs of grief abound, May we work for your kingdom, Till alleluias sound!
