Son of Man, to Thee I cry

Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: LHTC1918 #83 (1917) Tune Title: LA TROBE Lyrics: 1 Son of Man, to Thee I cry; By the wondrous mystery Of Thy dwelling here on earth, By Thy pure and holy birth, Lord, Thy presence let me see: Manifest Thyself to me. 2 Lamb of God, to Thee I cry; By Thy bitter agony, By Thy pangs, to us unknown, By Thy spirit's parting groan, Lord, Thy presence let me see, Manifest Thyself to me. 3 Prince of Life, to Thee I cry; By Thy glorious majesty, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, Meek to suffer, strong to save, Lord, Thy presence let me see, Manifest Thyself to me. 4 Lord of Glory, God Most High, Man exalted to the sky! With Thy love my bosom fill; Prompt me to perform Thy will; Then Thy glory I shall see: Thou wilt bring me home to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent: Litany Hymns Languages: English

Throned upon the awful tree

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #104 (1917) Tune Title: LA TROBE Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, King of grief, I watch with Thee; Darkness veils Thine anguished face, None its lines of woe can trace, None can tell what pangs unknown Hold Thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around Thee and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father’s Only Son, Thou, His own Anointed One. Thou dost ask Him--can it be? “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Darkly o’er my sinful soul, Thou, who once wast thus bereft That Thine own might ne’er be left-- Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know Thee nigh. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English

The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Their cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English
