When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,088 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ my God: all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down: did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands

Author: Charles H. Spurgeon, 1834-1892 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amidst us our Belovèd stands, And bids us view His piercèd hands; Points to the wounded feet and side, Blest emblems of the Crucified. 2 What food luxurious loads the board, When, at His table, sits the Lord! The wine how rich, the bread how sweet, When Jesus deigns the guests to meet! 3 If now, with eyes defiled and dim, We see the signs, but see not Him; O, may His love the scales displace, And bid us see Him face to face! 4 Thou glorious Bridegroom of our hearts, Thy present smile a heaven imparts! O, lift the veil, if veil there be, Let every saint Thy glory see! Amen. Topics: The Church The Lord's Supper Used With Tune: HAMBURG

The Lodestone

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: As needles point towards the pole Lyrics: 1. As needles point towards the pole, When touched by the magnetic stone; So faith in Jesus, gives the soul A tendency before unknown. 2. Till then, by blinded passions led, In search of fancied good we range; The paths of disappointment tread, To nothing fixed, but love of change. 3. But when the Holy Ghost imparts A knowledge of the Savior’s love; Our wand’ring, weary, restless hearts, Are fixed at once, no more to move. 4. Now a new principle takes place, Which guides and animates the will; This love, another name for grace, Constrains to good, and bars from ill. 5. By love’s sure light we soon perceive Our noblest bliss, and proper end; And gladly every idol leave, To love and serve our Lord and Friend. 6. Thus borne along by faith and hope, We feel the Savior’s words are true; And I, if I be lifted up, Will draw the sinner upward too. Used With Tune: HAMBURG Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 90

The Royal Banners Forward Go

Author: Venantius Fortunatus; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The royal banners forward go, The cross shines forth in mystic glow; Where He in flesh, our flesh who made, Our sentence bore, our ransom paid. 2. Where deep for us the spear was dyed, Life’s torrent rushing from His side, To wash us in that precious flood, Where mingled water flowed, and blood. 3. Fulfilled is all that David told In true prophetic song of old, Amidst the nations, God, saith he, Hath reigned and triumphed from the tree. 4. O tree of beauty, tree of light! O tree with royal purple dight! Elect on whose triumphal breast Those holy limbs should find their rest. 5. Blest tree, whose chosen branches bore The wealth that did the world restore, The price of humankind to pay, And spoil the spoiler of his prey. 6. Upon its arms, like balance true, He weighed the price for sinners due, The price which none but He could pay, And spoiled the spoiler of his prey. 7. O cross, our one reliance, hail! Still may thy power with us avail To give new virtue to the saint, And pardon to the penitent. 8. To Thee, eternal Three in One, Let homage meet by all be done: As by the cross Thou dost restore, So rule and guide us evermore.

O thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banished from thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; Forgiveness of Sins; Heart Contrite; Heart Pure; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Bondage and death the cup contains

Author: Lucius M. Sargent Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bondage and death the cup contains, Dash to the earth the poisoned bowl! Softer than silk are iron chains, Compared with those that chafe the soul. 2 Hosannas, Lord, to Thee we sing, Whose power the giant fiend obeys; What countless thousands tribute bring, For happier home and brighter days! 3 Thou wilt not break the bruised reed, Nor leave the broken heart unbound; The wife regains a husband freed! The orphan clasps a father found! 4 Spare, Lord, the thoughtless, guide the blind, Till man no more shall deem it just To live, by forging chains to bind His weaker brother in the dust.
