Beloved Jesus, what law hast Thou broken

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #198 (1918) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Beloved Jesus, what law hast Thou broken, That such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken? Of what great crime hast Thou to make confession, Of what 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, 'Tis I do merit. 4 What strangest punishment is suffered yonder? The Shepherd dies for sheep that love to wander, The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him, Who would not own 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 transcends our wonder. O 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 own strength never will 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.

The Cross Of Christ

Author: Charles L. Ford Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10808 Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: A heart, O God, that pain nor sorrow tireth Lyrics: 1 A heart, O God, that pain nor sorrow tireth, I see Thy will demands, my good requireth; May I this task, not thoughtless, but discerning, Be daily learning. 2 How oft, when murmuring at what Heav’n hath granted, We still but pluck the thorns our folly planted, "Christ’s cross" our own desert for sinful falling, Profanely calling. 3 But is his pain, Thy holy law who spurneth, Nor seeks Thy fear, nor Thy obedience learneth, Nor rues, but for some broken earthly bubble, A Christian trouble? 4 Yet even when Thou scourgest, Thy sweet pity Woos us again to the eternal city; Thou com’st to wake us from our sinful sleeping By pain and weeping. 5 But if I walk unblamed in all uprightness, The darkest cloud shall turn for me to brightness; Thou rulest, Lord! and all Thy paths are tending To good unending. 6 A pilgrim and a stranger now I wander, I seek not here my bliss—I find it yonder; O blessèd counterpoise! this moment’s sorrow— That bright tomorrow! 7 And if I causeless suffer, undeserving, For Christ’s dear sake, ne’er from His precepts swerving, Then safe I look, with all the ransomed nation, For His salvation. 8 Frail child of dust am I, by troubles driven; Yet in my need I lift my heart to Heaven; From thence firm trust and confidence I borrow For every sorrow. 9 Lift up thine eyes! Who guides yon orbèd motion? Who saith, "No further!" to the feet of ocean? Is He thy helper only? and not rather Thy tenderest Father? 10 He is all wise: wouldst thou His knowledge measure? Seek why He sends pain when thou choosest pleasure? Thou know’st not now; but thou shalt find hereafter For weeping, laughter. 11 Heav’nward He lifts us by this present grieving, That we, His Spirit’s holiness receiving, May soothe and bind, by strength to us imparted, The broken hearted. 12 The cross of Christ makes wise by patient bearing; Patience experience works; experience daring; A heart that dares in every conflict’s lightest: Hope for the brightest!

Herzliebster Jesu

Author: Johann Heerman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13511 Meter: 11.11.11.5 First Line: Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen Lyrics: 1 Herzliebster Jesu, was hast du verbrochen, Daß man ein solch scharf Urteil hat gesprochen? Was ist die Schuld? In was für Missetaten Bist du geraten? 2 Du wirst verspeit, geschlagen und verhöhnet, Gegeißelt und mit Dornen scharf gekrönet, Mit Essig, als man dich ans Kreuz gehenket, Wirst du getränket. 3 Was ist die Ursach’ aller solcher Plagen? Ach, meine Sünden haben dich geschlagen! Ich, ach Herr Jesu, habe dies verschuldet, Was du erduldet. 4 Wie wunderbarlich ist doch diese Strafe! Der gute Hirte leidet für die Schafe, Die Schuld bezahlt der Herre, der Gerechte, Für seine Knechte. 5 Der Fromme stirbt, so recht und richtig wandelt; Der Böse lebt, so wider Gott misshandelt; Der Mensch verwirkt den Tod und ist entgangen, Gott wird gefangen. 6 Ich war von Fuß auf voller Schand’ und Sünden, Bis zu dem Scheitel war nichts Gut’s zu finden; Dafür hätt’ ich dort in der Hölle müßen Ewiglich büßen. 7 O große Lieb’, o Lieb’ ohn’ alle Maße, Die dich gebracht auf diese Marterstraße! Ich lebte mit der Welt in Lust und Freuden, Und du mußt leiden. 8 Ach, großer König, groß zu allen Zeiten, Wie kann ich g’nugsam solche Treu’ ausbreiten! Kein menschlich Herze mag sich dies ausdenken, Was dir zu schenken. 9 Ich kann’s mit meinen Sinnen nicht erreichen, Mit was doch dein Erbarmen zu vergleichen; Wie kann ich dir denn deine Liebestaten Im Werk erstatten? 10 Doch ist noch etwas, das dir angenehme: Wenn ich des Fleisches Lüste dämpf’ und zähme, Daß sie aufs neu’ mein Herze nicht entzünden Mit alten Sünden. 11 Weil aber dies nicht steht in eignen Kräften, Dem Kreuze die Begierden anzuheften, So gib mir deinen Geist, der mich regiere, Zum Guten führe! 12 Alsdann so werd’ ich deine Huld betrachten, Aus Lieb’ zu dir die Welt für nichts erachten. Ich werde mich bemühen, deinen Willen Stets zu erfüllen. 13 Ich werde dir zu Ehren alles wagen, Kein Kreuz nicht achten, keine Schmach noch Plagen, Nichts von Verfolgung, nichts von Todesschmerzen Nehmen zu Herzen. 14 Dies alles, ob’s für schlecht zwar ist zu schätzen, Wirst du es doch nicht gar beiseite setzen. In Gnaden wirst du dies von mir annehmen, Mich nicht beschämen. 15 Wenn dort, Herr Jesu, wird vor deinem Throne Auf meinem Haupte stehn die Ehrenkrone, Da will ich dir, wenn alles wird wohl klingen, Lob und Dank singen.
