Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended

Author: R. Bridges; J. Heermann Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty! Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation; Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee, Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: R. Campbell Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath wash'd us in the tide Flowing from His pierced side; Praise we Him, Whose love divine Gives His sacred blood for wine, Gives His body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, Whose blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from the sky Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Now no more can death appal, Now no more the grave enthral; Thou hast opened Paradise, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do Thou set free Souls new-born, O Lord, in Thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, Risen Lord, to Thee we raise; Holy Father, praise to Thee, With the Spirit, ever be. Topics: Lent Eastertide Used With Tune: SALZBURG

Away in a manger

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 547 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, No crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head. The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay close by my side Until morning is night. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus: I ask Thee to stay Close by me for ever, And love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven To live with Thee there. Topics: Youth and School Life Younger Children Used With Tune: MANGER

Come ye faithful, raise the strain

Author: J. M. Neale Appears in 380 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness; Loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters; Led them with unmoistened foot Through the Red Sea waters. 2 'Tis the spring of souls to-day; Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death As a sun hath risen; All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From His light, to Whom we give Laud and praise undying. 3 Now the Queen of seasons bright With the day of splendour, With the royal feast of feasts, Comes its joy to render; Comes to glad Jerusalem, Who with true affection Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal, Hold Thee as a mortal: But to-day amidst Thine own Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace which evermore Passeth human knowing.

Come, we that love the Lord

Author: I. Watts Appears in 1,790 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known; Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing That never knew our God; But children of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 3 The men of grace have found Glory begun below; Celestial fruits on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 4 The hill of Zion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. 5 Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're marching through Emmanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.
