Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #212 (1918) Meter: 8.8.7.7.7 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all; In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace, may find: Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live forever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break His covenant of blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.

Savior, when in dust to Thee

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #213 (1918) Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to Thee Low we bow th'adoring knee, When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes, O by all Thy pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany! 2 By Thy helpless infant years, By Thy life of want and tears, By Thy days of sore distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread mysterious hour Of th'insulting Tempter's power: Turn, O turn a favoring eye, Hear our solemn litany! 3 By Thine hour of dire despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn; By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice: Listen to our humble cry, Hear our solemn litany! 4 By Thy deep expiring groan; By the sad sepulchral stone; By the vault, whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God: O from earth to heaven restored, Mighty, reascended Lord, Listen, listen to the cry Hear our solemn litany!

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #214 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear Cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes in tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

O darkest woe!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #215 (1918) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Has earth so sad a wonder? God the Father's only Son Now is buried yonder! 2 O sorrow dread! Our God is dead. But by His expiation Of our guilt upon the cross Gained for us salvation. 3 O child of man! It was the ban Of death on thee that brought Him Down to suffer for thy sins, And such woe hath wrought Him. 4 See, stained with blood, The Lamb of God, The Bridegroom, lies before thee, Pouring out His life that He May to life restore thee. 5 O Ground of faith, Laid low in death! Sweet lips now silent sleeping! Surely all that live must mourn Here with bitter weeping. 6 O Virgin-born, Thy death we mourn, Thou lovely Star of gladness! Who could see Thy reeking blood Without grief and sadness? 7 Yea, blest is he Whose heart shall be Fixed here, who apprehendeth Why the Lord of glory thus To the grave descendeth. 8 O Jesus blest, My Help and Rest, With tears I now entreat Thee: Make me love Thee to the last, Till in heaven I greet Thee!

So rest, my Rest!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #216 (1918) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 So rest, my Rest! Thou ever Blest! Thy grave with sinners making; By Thy precious death from sin My dead soul awaking. 2 After Thy strife, Life of my life, Thou'rt in the tomb reposing, Round Thee now a rock-hewn grave, Rock of Ages, closing. 3 How cold art Thou, My Savior, now! Thy fervent love hath driven Thee into the cold, dark grave, Thst I might gain heaven. 4 Breath of all breath! I know from death Thou wilt my dust awaken; Wherefore should I dread the grave, Or my faith be shaken? 5 To me the tomb Shall be a room Where I lie down on roses; Who by faith hath conquered death, Sweetly there reposes. 6 The body dies-- Naught else--and lies In dust, until victorious From the grace it shall arise Beautiful and glorious. 7 Meantime I will, My Savior, still Deep in my bosom lay Thee, Ever musing on Thy death: Leave me not, I pray Thee!

Alas! And Did My Savior Bleed

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #282 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die?

Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 4 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in When God, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin. 5 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes in tears. 6 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Dear Lord, renew my faith today And teach me what to do.

O Dearest Jesus

Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #292 (1996) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: Passion of Christ First Line: O dearest Jesus, what law hast Thou broken Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law hast Thou broken That such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken? Of what great crime hast Thou to make confession-- What dark transgression? 2 They crown Thy head with thorns, they smite, they scourge Thee; With cruel mockings to the cross they urge Thee; They give Thee gall to drink, they still decry Thee; They crucify Thee. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which Thou, Lord, must languish; Yea, all the wrath, the woe, Thou dost inherit, This I do merit. 4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder! The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander; The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him, Who would not know Him. 5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness; The sinful child of man may live in gladness; Man forfeited his life and is acquitted-- God is committed. 6 There was no spot in me by sin untainted; Sick with sin's poison, all my heart had fainted; My heavy guilt to hell had well-nigh brought me, Such woe it wrought me. 7 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, That brought Thee here, by foes and thieves surrounded! All worldly pleasures, heedless, I was trying While Thou wert dying. 8 O mighty King, no time can dim Thy glory! How shall I spread abroad Thy wondrous story? How shall I find some worthy gifts to proffer? What dare I offer? 9 For vainly doth our human wisdom ponder-- Thy woes, Thy mercy, still transcend our wonder. Oh, how should I do aught that could delight Thee! Can I requite Thee? 10 Yet unrequited, Lord, I would not leave Thee; I will renounce whate'er doth vex or grieve Thee And quench with thoughts of Thee and prayers most lowly All fires unholy. 11 But since my strength will nevermore suffice me To crucify desires that still entice me, To all good deeds, O let Thy Spirit win me And reign within me! 12 I'll think upon Thy mercy without ceasing, That earth's vain joys to me no more be pleasing; To do Thy will shall be my sole endeavor Henceforth forever. 13 Whate'er of earthly good this life may grant me, I'll risk for Thee; no shame, no cross, shall daunt me. I shall not fear what man can do to harm me Nor death alarm me. 14 But worthless is my sacrifice, I own it; Yet, Lord, for love's sake Thou wilt not disown it; Thou wilt accept my gift in Thy great meekness Nor shame my weakness. 15 And when, dear Lord, before Thy throne in heaven To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns Thy saints forever raise Thee, I, too, shall praise Thee.

Nature with Open Volume Stands

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #299 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands, To spread her Maker's praise abroad, And ev'ry labor of His hands Shows something worthy of our God. 2 But in the grace that rescued man His brightest form of glory shines; Here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn, In precious blood and crimson lines. 3 Here his whole name appears complete Nor wit can guess, nor reason prove Which of the letters is best writ, The Pow'r, the Wisdom, or the Love. 4 Here I behold His inmost heart Where grace and vengeance strangely join, Here on the Cross 'tis fairest drawn In precious blood and crimson lines. 5 O the sweet wonders of that Cross Where God the Savior loved and died! Her noblest life my spirit draws From His dear wounds and bleeding side. 6 I would for ever speak His name, In sounds to mortal ears unknown, With angels join to praise the Lamb, And worship at His Father's throne.

Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing

Author: W. Shirley, 1725-86 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #300 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend. Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner's dying Friend. 2 Here we rest in wonder, viewing All our sins on Jesus laid; Here we see redemption flowing From the sacrifice He made. 3 Here we find the dawn of heaven While upon the cross we gaze, See our trespasses forgiven, And our songs of triumph raise. 4 Oh, that, near the cross abiding, We may to the Savior cleave, Naught with Him our hearts dividing, All for Him content to leave! 5 Lord, in loving contemplation Fix our hearts and eyes on Thee Till we taste Thy full salvation And Thine unveiled glory see.
