Drawn to the Cross, which Thou hast Blest

Author: Genevieve M. Irons Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 Lyrics: 1 Drawn to the Cross, which Thou has blest With healing gifts for souls distrest, To find in Thee my life, my rest, Christ Crucified, I come. 2 Thou knowest all my griefs and fears, Thy grace abused, my misspent years; Yet now to Thee with contrite tears, Christ Crucified, I come. 3 Wash me and take away each stain; Let nothing of my sin remain. For cleansing, tho’ it be thro’ pain, Christ Crucified, I come. 4 And then for work to do for Thee, Which shall so sweet a service be That angels well might envy me, Christ Crucified, I come. Amen.

"The wondrous Cross"

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 1,993 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross 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 His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. 5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: John 12:31-33 Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, a trusty shield and weapon; he helps us free from ev'ry need that has us now o'ertaken. The old evil foe now means deadly woe; deep guile and great might are his dread arms in fight; on earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, soon were our loss effected; but for us fights the valiant one whom God himself elected. You ask, "Who is this?" Jesus Christ it is, the almighty Lord, and there's no other God; he holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, all eager to devour us, we tremble not, we fear no ill: they shall not overpow'r us. This world's prince may still scowl fierce as he will, he can harm us none. He's judged; the deed is done; one little word can fell him. 4 The Word they still shall let remain nor any thanks have for it; he's by our side upon the plain with his good gifts and Spirit. And take they our life, goods, fame, child, and wife, though all may be gone, our victory is won; the kingdom's ours forever!
