When on the cross the Savior hung

Author: Justus Gesenius; David Denike; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #74 (1908) Hymnal Title: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal Lyrics: 1 When on the cross the Savior hung, And that sore load that on Him weighed With bitter pangs His nature wrung, Seven words amid His pain He said: O let them well to heart be laid! 2 "Father, forgive these men," He spake, "For lo! they know not what they do; Nor of my sufferings vengeance take!" And when we sin in weakness, too, For us, dear Lord, this prayer renew! 3 He thought upon the thief, and said,-- "Thou shalt behold my Paradise With me, ere yet this day be fled." Lord, see us too with pitying eyes, And raise us from our miseries! 4 His mother stood beside Him there; "Behold thy son! And let her find A son, O John, in thy true care." Lord, care for those we leave behind, Nor let the world prove all unkind! 5 Once more He saith:--"I thirst, I thirst!" O Prince of Life! that we might be Rescued from death, Thou dar'st the worst. So dost Thou long to set us free; Not fruitless be that thirst in Thee! 6 Again, "My God, My God," He cried, "Ah why dost Thou forsake me thus?" Thou art forsaken at this tide, To win acceptance, Lord, for us; O comfort deep and marvelous! 7 He saith--"Lo! it is finished now!" Savior, thy perfect work is done! O make us faithful, Lord, as Thou, No trial and no cross to shun, Till all Thou lay'st on us be done. 8 At last,--"My Father, to Thine hands My parting soul I now commend." Lord, when my spirit trembling stands Upon life's verge, this cry I send To Thee, and with Thy words I end. 9 Whoso shall ponder oft these words When long-past sins his soul alarm, Shall find the hope Thy cross accords, And in Thy grace a healing balm That brings the wounded conscience calm. 10 Lord Jesus Christ, who diedst for us, This one thing grant us evermore; To ponder o'er Thy passion thus, Till truer, deeper than before, We learn to love Thee and adore!

Jesus cries; Lord, may Thy prayer for us arise; Cleanse us from our transgression: Our guilt Thou knowest―Thou alone; Accept, Lord, our confession. 2 Grant us ere long in paradise On Thee to rest our joyful eyes; This hope Thy death procurèd: We had those dying pains deserved Which thy great love endurèd. 3 Lord, by the thought of all Thy pain, Turn us from pleasures false and vain; Our love to Thee awaken, O Thou for us upon the cross Awhile of God forsaken! 4 When Thou in death didst bow Thine head, Thou crièdest, "It is finishèd," The work of our salvation: Oh who can worthily praise Thee, Our great Propitiation!
