Let us now our voices raise

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; St. Joseph the Hymnographer, d. 883 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us now our voices raise, Wake the day with gladness; God Himself to joy and praise Turns our human sadness; Joy that martyrs won their crown, Opened heaven's bright portal, When they laid the mortal down For the life immortal. 2 Never flinched they from the flame, From the torment never; Vain the tyrant’s sharpest aim, Vain each fierce endeavor: For by faith they saw the land Decked in all its glory, Where triumphant now they stand With the victor’s story. 3 Up and follow, Christian men! Press through toil and sorrow; Spurn the night of fear, and then, O the glorious morrow! Who will venture on the strife; Who will first begin it? Who will grasp the Land of Life? Warriors, up and win it! Topics: The Life In Christ Service Used With Tune: WEIMAR

Jesu! Be Thy Suffering Love

Author: Sigismund von Birken; Arthur T. Russell Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesu! Be Thy suffering love Now my meditation: Aid me from Thy throne above: Bless my contemplation. Now unto mine heart appear, As, for my salvation, Thou wast once a sufferer here— Thou our expiation! 2 Let my faith behold Thee, Lord, As for me surrounded With derision, with the sword Of revilers wounded: Lo! the scourge—the crown of thorn, Spear and nails all rend Thee! Lo! Thy cruel foes with scorn On the cross extend Thee! 3 Let me not in vain behold What Thou hast endurèd: Lord, the cause—the fruit unfold— Fruit Thy death procurèd: Lord, to Thee the cause I own, I and my transgression: Not Thy heathen foes alone Owe to Thee confession. 4 Let me still with sorrowing heart Be Thy griefs reviewing; Nor by sin new grief impart, All Thy wounds renewing. Therein shall I pleasure take— When for my transgression God did an atonement make Great beyond expression?

Jesus, I Will Ponder Now

Author: Sigismund von Birken; August Crull Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, I will ponder now On Your holy Passion; Let Your Spirit now endow Me for meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Your suffering, pain and death That I may not perish. 2. Make me see Your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And your crucifixion; Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails, did wound You, How You died for those, O God, Who with thorns had crowned You. 3. Let, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see your Passion, But its cause to me make known And its termination. For I also and my sin Wrought your deep affliction; This the shameful cause has been Of Your crucifixion. 4. Let me view Your pain and loss With repentant grieving, Nor prepare again your cross By unholy living. May I give you love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in Heav’n above Sing your praise forever.
