As the cross is lifted high!
Tell how Christ our Savior conquered,
When for us he came to die
As a victim in the battle,
Death's dominion to belie.
2 Adam tasted sin and sorrow,
Eating of the fearful tree;
All undoing our enchainment,
By the tree Christ sets us free,
Crushing hell's own tool of bondage
By his great humility.
3 Silence cloaked the earth and heavens
Round the hill of Calvary;
Nailed upon the tree of glory,
Christ endured his agony.
In his royal blood descending
Comes our peace, our liberty.
4 Cross triumphant! Cross transforming!
Ensign of humanity!
Faithful cross, above all others,
One and only noble tree:
Gracious wood and gracious iron,
Gracious burden borne on thee!

How bless'd are they who take delight
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 3:1-15 Lyrics: 1 How bless'd are they who take delight
To visit Christ the Lord!
As Nicodemus came by night,
To hear the gospel word.
2 The Lord will open to their view,
The things of greatest worth--
That which before they never knew:
The new and heav'nly birth.
3 Christ solemnly declares 'tis true,
This truth will e'er remain;
God's kingdom ye can never view,
Till ye are born again!
4 Indeed ye must be thus renew'd?
And feel this change within:
Or ne'er become the son's of God,
And live and die in sin.
5 This works a change upon the mind,
And fills the soul with love!
And thus the seeking soul shall find:
This work is from above.
6 The water and the spirit are
The means which Christ directs;
And as the Saviour doth declare:
These must have their effects.
7 But how this gracious work is wrought,
Is more than man can know!
And far beyond the reach of thought,
What heav'nly grace can do.
8 The spirit worketh as he please;
And they who will submit,
Shall find that God's appointed ways
Will make the work complete.

and thoughts of day depart,
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Saviour and our Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Advent; Easter (third Sunday); Salvation/Redemption Used With Tune: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN Text Sources: The Quest of the Historical Jesus, 1910

Now are we Sons of God!
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: John 3:2 Lyrics: 1 Now are we Sons of God!
Nor doth it yet appear,
What Heights of Bliss, thro' Jesu's Blood,
For us prepared are.
2 This we already know,
When Christ, our Righteousness,
Shall shew himself to Men below,
We shall be as he is.
3 Yea, in this World are we,
As Jesus is above;
As him, from Sin and Satan free,
As perfected in Love.
4 Invisible are we
To this blind World below;
There's none but such who Jesus see,
Can us discern or know.
5 All that which doth appear
Of us, or can be known,
By Reason's Eye, to Mortals here,
We utterly disown.
6 We call it Dung and Dross,
The Man from whom we cease;
To own it ours, is Pain and Loss,
And saps the Christian's Peace.
7 Jesus alone we own,
And nothing know beside;
In him, as free from Sin, we're known,
His pure and holy Bride.
8 In him we now confess,
We are the Lord's Delight,
His Rest, his Joy and Righteousness,
All glorious in his Sight.
9 We are as we would be;
Nor have we yet to choose;
As Christ the Son, we're ever free,
Nor can that Sonship lose.
Now are we Sons of God!

Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: John 3:2 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

Hymn 95
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 154 hymnals Scripture: John 3:3 First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics:
Not all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has giv'n,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heav'n.
The sovereign will of God alone
Creates us heirs of grace
Born in the image of his Son,
A new, peculiar race.
The Spirit, like some heav'nly wind,
Blows on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
Our quickened souls awake, and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heav'nly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.
Hymn 95
