In the cross of Christ I glory
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended
Author: Robert Bridges; Johann Heermann Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 141 hymnals Topics: Lent V The Holy Communion General Used With Tune: HERZLIEBSTER JESU
Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended
O sacred head, sore wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Lent V Year A Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded,
defiled and put to scorn;
O kingly head, surrounded
with mocking crown of thorn:
what sorrow mars thy grandeur?
Can death thy bloom deflower?
O countenance whose splendour
the hosts of heaven adore.
2 Thy beauty, long desirèd,
hath vanished from our sight;
thy power is all expirèd,
and quenched the Light of light.
Ah me! for whom thou diest,
hide not so far thy grace:
show me, O Love most highest,
the brightness of thy face.
3 I pray thee, Jesus, own me,
me, Shepherd good, for thine;
who to thy fold hast won me,
and fed with truth divine.
Me guilty, me refuse not,
incline thy face to me,
this comfort that I lose not,
on earth to comfort thee.
4 In thy most bitter passion
my heart to share doth cry,
with thee for my salvation
upon the cross to die.
Ah, keep my heart thus movèd
to stand thy cross beneath,
to mourn thee, well-belovèd,
yet thank thee for thy death.
5 My days are few, O fail not,
with thine immortal power,
to hold me that I quail not
in death's most fearful hour:
that I may fight befriended,
and see in my last strife
to me thine arms extended
upon the cross of life. Scripture: Isaiah 53:3 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: 14th-century Latin hymn
O sacred head, sore wounded
O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Thomas à Kempis, c. 1379-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Lent V Year C Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Scripture: Acts 2:23-33 Used With Tune: EISENACH
O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
My song is love unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman, 1624-1683 Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 129 hymnals Topics: Lent V Year B Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Saviour’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from His blest throne,
salvation to bestow;
but men made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But O, my Friend,
my Friend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his sweet praises sing;
resounding all the day
hosannas to their King.
Then 'Crucify!'
is all their breath,
and for His death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
yet they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of Life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home;
but mine the tomb
wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing:
no story so divine;
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine!
This is my Friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend. Scripture: Acts 3:15 Used With Tune: LOVE UNKNOWN

Beneath the cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Lent V Year C Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock
within a weary land;
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me;
and from my smitten heart, with tears,
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love,
and my own worthlessness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss;
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: ST CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the cross of Jesus
Glory be to Jesus
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 212 hymnals Topics: Lent V Year A Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus,
who, in bitter pains,
poured for me the life-blood
from his sacred veins.
2 Grace and life eternal
in that blood I find;
blest be his compassion,
infinitely kind.
3 Blest through endless ages
be the precious stream,
which from endless torments
did the world redeem.
4 Abel's blood for vengeance
pleaded to the skies;
but the blood of Jesus
for our pardon cries.
5 Oft as it is sprinkled
on our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
terror-struck departs.
6 Oft as earth exulting
wafts its praise on high,
angel-hosts rejoicing
make their glad reply.
7 Lift ye then your voices;
swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:12 Used With Tune: CASWALL Text Sources: Italian
