When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,009 hymnals Topics: Lent; Lent 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 tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul. 2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, to lay aside his crown for my soul. 3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing, to God and to the Lamb, I will sing; to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM, while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing; while millions join the theme I will sing. 4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on; and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and through eternity I’ll sing on.

When wounded sore the stricken heart

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 104 hymnals Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore the stricken heart lies bleeding and unbound, one only hand, a piercèd hand, can salve the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, and tears of anguish flow, one only heart, a broken heart, can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitential grief has wept over some foul dark spot, one only stream, a stream of blood, can wash away the blot. 4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white, his hand that brings relief; his heart is touched with all our joys, and feels for all our grief. 5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord, unseal that cleansing tide; we have no shelter from our sin but in thy wounded side.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 371 hymnals Topics: Lent 2 Year A; Lent 2 Year B; Lent 2 Year C Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife, we hear your voice of life again. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to view the strong compassion of your face. 4 O Master, from the mountainside make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again, 5 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.
