O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb There' adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" Hear the cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes: Savior, teach us so to rise. Baptist Hymnal, 1991 Topics: Jesus Christ Gethsemane; Christ Gethsemane; Christ Passion; Gethsemane

Rock of Ages, shelter me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,907 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone. 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace, Black, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyestrings break in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of ages, shelter me, Let me hide myself in thee.

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Lamb of God, for me Thou, the Lord of life, didst die; Whither—whither, but to Thee, Can a trembling sinner fly? Death’s dark waters o’er me roll, Save, O save, my sinking soul. 2. Never bowed a martyr’s head Weighed with equal sorrow down; Never blood so rich was shed, Never king wore such a crown; To Thy cross and sacrifice Faith now lifts her tearful eyes. 3. All my soul by love subdued, Melts in deep contrition there; By Thy mighty grace renewed, New-born hope forbids despair: Lord! Thou canst my guilt forgive, Thou has bid me look and live. 4. While with broken heart I kneel Sinks the inward storm to rest; Life—immortal life—I feel Kindled in my throbbing breast Thine—for ever Thine—I am! Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

Morning of the Sabbath day

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Morning of the Sabbath day, O thou sweetest hour of prime! Dart a retrospective ray O'er the eastern hills of time; Daybreak let my spirit see At the foot of Calvary. Joseph's sepulchre is nigh; Here the seal upon the stone, There the sentinel, with eye, Star-like, fix'd on that alone; All around is calm and clear, Life and death keep Sabbath here. Bright and brighter, beam on beam, Now, like first created light, From the rock-cleft, gleam by gleam, Shoots athwart the waning night, Till the splendour grows intense, Overpowering mortal sense. Glory turns with me to gloom, Sight, pulsation, thought depart, And the stone that closed the tomb Seems to lie upon my heart; 131 With that shock the vision flies; Christ is risen;--and I may rise:-- Rise, like Him, as, from this trance, When the trumpet calls the just To the Saints' inheritance, From their dwellings in the dust: By thy resurrection's power, Jesus, save me in that hour. Sabbath morning, hail to thee; O thou sweetest hour of prime! From the foot of Calvary, Now to Zion's top I climb, There my risen Lord to meet, In his temple, at his feet.
