One there is above all others

Appears in 691 hymnals Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end; They who once His kindness prove, Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could, or would, have shed His blood? Christ the Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless love indeed! Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abased, Friend of sinners was His name; Now above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same. Still He calls them brethren, friends; And to all their wants attends. 4 Oh, for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above; But, when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought. Amen.

Now, My Soul, Thy Voice Upraising

Author: Claude de Santeüil Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell in sweet and mournful strain How the Crucified, enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless, was for sinners slain. 2 Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. 3 See! His hands and feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be: Yea, the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. 4 Through His heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery; Water, from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood, to win us crowns on high. 5 Jesus, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our present healing, And at length our great reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord. Amen.

All Is O'er, the Pain, the Sorrow

Author: John Moultrie; John Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All is o’er, the pain, the sorrow, Human taunts and fiendish spite; Death shall be despoiled tomorrow Of the prey he grasps tonight; Yet awhile, His own to save, Christ must linger in the grave. 2. Dark and still the cell that holds Him, While in brief repose He lies; Deep the slumber that enfolds Him, Veiled awhile from mortal eyes; Slumber such as needs must be After hard won victory. 3. Fierce and deadly was the anguish Which on yonder cross He bore; How did soul and body languish Till the toil of death was o’er: But that toil, so fierce and dread, Bruised and crushed the serpent’s head. 4. All night long, with plaintive voicing, Chant His requiem soft and low: Loftier strains of loud rejoicing From tomorrow’s harps shall flow: Death and hell at length are slain! Christ hath triumphed! Christ doth reign! Used With Tune: REQUIEM
