When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 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. Used With Tune: HAMBURG

2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight,
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
4 And that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
6 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:45 Used With Tune: RICHMOND

The law of God is good and wise
Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Fourth Sunday in Lent Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes,
Shows us the way of righteousness,
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain;
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good; but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sin to die,
And has no power to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace through faith alone. Used With Tune: RETREAT

The form and fashion of our frame;
Our very flesh our Maker shares,
To save a fallen world He came.

A maiden, in her lowly place,
Became, in ways beyond all thought,
The chosen vessel of His grace.

Declaring what the Father willed,
And suddenly the promised Lord
That pure and hallowed temple filled.
5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall,
He lay within the manger bed,
And He whose bounty feedeth all
At Mary's breast Himself was fed.
6 And while the angels in the sky
Sang praise above the silent field,
To shepherds poor the Lord most high,
The one great Shepherd, was revealed.

To God the Father ever be;

All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee. Used With Tune: [From east to west, from shore to shore]

Our Saviour at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams
Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray,

How hard was His pillow, how humble His bed!
The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight,
And followed their Master with solemn delight.

The fame of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot;
The theme most transporting to seraphs above;
The triumph of sorrow--the triumph of love.

Oh, give Him the glory, the praise that is meet;
Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise,
And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.
Amen.

O Herre du mig høre!

Den Bøn, jeg frem vil føre!
Om du i Naade ei ser bort
Fra al den Synd, som her er gjort,
Hvo kan da frelst vel blive?
2 For dig kun Naaden gjælde kan
Til Synden at forlade,
Min Gjerning hjælper ei en Grand,
Og bøder ei den Skade;
For dig er ingen funden reen,
Thi frygte sig maa hver og een,
Og tage Trøst af Naaden.
3 Derfor til Gud jeg holder mig
I mine Synders Vaade,
Mit Hjerte saare trøster sig
Paa Jesu søde Naade,
Som er mig i hans Ord tilsagt,
Det staar evindelig ved Magt;
Paa Naaden, Gud, jeg bier!
4 Og varer det fra Morgenstund
Alt indtil Aftens Ende,
Da skal mitHjerte ingenlund
Mistrøstet bort sig vende.
Saa gjør Guds Folk af rette Art,
Som han med Tugt har tvunget hart,
De bie paa Guds Time.
5 Og om vor Synd er stor og svar,
End større er Guds Naade;
Den Hjælp, som han i Hænde har,
Er uden Maal og Maade.
Traads al den Synd og Sorg, er til,
Han Hyrden er, som frelse vil,
Og fri sit Folk af Nøden.

To follow in their train!

Fremskinner Naadens Straale!
Men det, at bedre sig,
Kan ei Forhaling taale;
Maaske din Klokke slaar
I Dag sit sidst Slag–
Nu læges Sjalesaar,
Nu heder det: i Dag!
3 I Dag begynd, og spar
Det ikke til i Morgen,
Hvad Morgendagen har
At vente, er forborgen;
Forhaling bør ei ske
I saadan vigtig Sag,
Nu faar du op at se,
Nu heder der: i Dag!
4 Træng i Guds Arme ind,
Og fat din Jesu Hjerte,
Det koste i dit Sind
Ihvad det vil for Smerte;
Til Kronen gaar man ei
Udi sin gode Mag,
Træng ind, nu er der Vei,
Nu heder der: i Dag!
5 I Dag maaske du kan
Fuldende dine Dage,
At Timeglassets Sand
Har intet mer tilbage;
Se, hvilken Vredes Sky!
Søg Naadens Skjul og Tag
I Jesu Vunders Ly!
Nu heder der: i Dag!
6 Endnu er Hjælp at faa
For knuste Hjerters Raaben,
Endnu er Gud at naa,
Endnu er Himlen aaben;
End Hører du hans Ord
Til Kjærlighed Fordrag,
Endnu er naaden stor,
Nu heder der: i Dag!
7 Et lidet Øieblik
Er al vor Levnets Dage,
Den kaade Ungdoms Skik
Lad derfor rent tilbage;
Betænk dit Sjæle-Gavn
Og Himlens søde Smag,
Vend om i Jesu Navn!
Nu heder der: i Dag!
8 Det er en liden Stund,
Saa lukkes Himlens Døre;
Begræd de mange Pund,
Endnu er Naaden større,
Og vinker dig henind
I Jesu Favnetag;
Men skynd dig, som en Hind,
Nu heder det: i Dag!
9 Som Varnet ikke før
I Moders Arm vil tie,
Saaaledes Sjælen bør,
Som føler syndens Svie,
I Verden svigersød
Ei finde mer Behag,
Men kun i Naadens Skjod;
Nu heder der: i Dag!
10 Ak, evig Evighed!
Den maatte nok betænkes,
Hvor de Frodømte ned
I Vredens Sø skal sænkes!
Hvor er der godt hos Gud!
O, kom da, Hjerte, tag
Mod Naadens søde Bud
I Dag, i Dag, i Dag! Text Sources: Tysk
