Author: P. Gerhardt, 1607-76; J. Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended, See, world, thy Lord suspended; Thy Savior yields His breath. The Prince of Life from heaven Himself hath freely given To shame and blows and bitter death. 2 Come hither now and ponder, 'Twill fill thy soul with wonder, Blood streams from ev'ry pore. Through grief whose depth none knoweth, From His great heart there floweth Sigh after sigh of anguish o'er. 3 Who is it that hath bruised Thee? Who hath so sore abused Thee And caused Thee all Thy woe? While we must make confession Of sin and dire transgression, Thou deeds of evil dost not know. 4 I caused Thy grief and sighing By evils multiplying As countless as the sands. I caused the woes unnumbered With which Thy soul is cumbered, Thy sorrows raised by wicked hands. 5 'Tis I who should be smitten, My doom should here be written: Bound hand and foot in hell. The fetters and the scourging, The floods around Thee surging, 'Tis I who have deserved them well. 6 The load Thou takest on Thee, That pressed so sorely on me, It crushed me to the ground. The cross for me enduring, The crown for me securing, My healing in Thy wounds is found. 7 A crown of thorns Thou wearest, My shame and scorn Thou bearest, That I might ransomed be. My Bondsman, ever willing, My place with patience filling, From sin and guilt hast made me free. 8 Thy cords of love, my Savior, Bind me to Thee forever, I am no longer mine. To Thee I gladly tender All that my life can render And all I have to Thee resign. 9 The cross I'll place before me, Its saving pow'r be o'er me, Wherever I may be; Thine innocence revealing Thy love and mercy sealing, The pledge of truth and constancy. 10 How God at our transgression To anger gives expression, How loud His thunders roll, How fearfully He smiteth, How sorely He requiteth,- All this Thy suff'rings teach my soul. 11 When evil men revile me, With wicked tongues defile me, I'll curb my vengeful heart. The unjust wrong I'll suffer, Unto my neighbor offer Forgiveness for each bitter smart. 12 Thy groaning and thy sighing, Thy bitter tears and dying, With which Thou wast oppressed,- They shall, when life is ending, Be guiding and attending My way to Thine eternal rest.

O World, Behold Him Dying

Author: Arthur T. Russell Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O world, behold Him dying Who is thy life supplying; Behold! He dies for Thee: He who in glory reigneth, No scorn, no shame disdaineth, From endless death my soul to free. 2 Now from my Savior floweth The blood His love betstoweth On us, that we may live! What grief His Spirit rendeth! Whilst thus He condescendeth His life for us His foes to give! 3 Of His own will He dieth, Who to His Father crieth, O Father! mercy show: Come, children of transgression; To Jesus make confession; Your all to His great love you owe.

John Kelly

1833 - 1890 Translator of "Upon the Cross Extended" in The Lutheran Hymnal Kelly, John, was born at Newcastle-on-Tyne, educated at Glasgow University, studied theology at Bonn, New College, Edinburgh, and the Theological College of the English Presbyterian Church (to which body he belongs) in London. He has ministered to congregations at Hebburn-on-Tyne and Streatham, and was Tract Editor of the Religious Tract Society. His translations of Paul Gerhardt's Spiritual Songs were published in 1867. Every piece is given in full, and rendered in the metre of the originals. His Hymns of the Present Century from the German were published in 1886 by the Religious Tract Society. In these translations the metres of the originals have not always been followed, whilst some of the hymns have been abridged and others condensed. His translations lack poetic finish, but are faithful to the originals. [Rev. W. Garrett Horder] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Kelly, John, p. 614, i. He died while on a visit to Braemar, July 19, 1890. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

She also translated the Latin works of Hasse and Graun into German. She played a significant role in the formation of the German choral movement, a driving force in 19th century musical nationalism. She composed 75+ songs and choral pieces in various styles and accompaniments. Her husband-to-be, Friedrich August Eschen, died suddenly on the eve before their wedding.
