Forgive them, O my Father
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #153 (2010) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Lyrics: 1 'Forgive them, O my Father,
they know not what they do:'
the Saviour spoke in anguish,
as the sharp nails went through.
2 No word of anger spake he
to them that shed his blood,
but prayer and tenderest pity
large as the love of God.
3 For me was that compassion,
for me that tender care;
I need his wide forgiveness
as much as any there.
4 It was my pride and hardness
that hung Him on the tree;
those cruel nails, O Saviour,
were driven in by me.
5 And often I have slighted
thy gentle voice that chid:
forgive me too, Lord Jesus;
I knew not what I did.
6 O depth of sweet compassion!
O love divine and true!
Save thou the souls that slight thee,
and know not what they do. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Scripture: Luke 23:34 Languages: English Tune Title: VULPIUS
Forgive them, O my Father
His are the thousand sparkling rills
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #154 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Lyrics: 1 His are the thousand sparkling rills
that from a thousand fountains burst,
and fill with music all the hills;
and yet he saith, 'I thirst.'
2 All fiery pangs on battle-fields,
on fever beds where sick men toss,
are in that human cry he yields
to anguish on the cross.
3 But more than pains that racked him then
was the deep longing thirst divine
that thirsted for the souls of men;
dear Lord! And one was mine.
4 O Love most patient, give me grace;
make all my soul athirst for thee;
that parched dry lip, that fading face,
that thirst, were all for me. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Scripture: John 19:28 Languages: English Tune Title: SAFRON WALDEN
His are the thousand sparkling rills
He is risen, he is risen!

Tell it out with joyful voice;
he has burst his three days' prison;
let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered, man is free,
Christ has won the victory.
2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted,
with glad smile and radiant brow;
Lent's long shadows have departed,
all his woes are over now,
and the passion that he bore:
sin and pain can vex no more.
3 Come, with high and holy hymning
chant our Lord's triumphant lay;
not one darksome cloud is dimming
yonder glorious morning ray,
breaking o'er the purple east:
brighter far our Easter-feast. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: EDOM

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #195 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Lyrics: 1 The golden gates are lifted up,
the doors are opened wide,
the King of Glory is gone up
unto his Father’s side.

a gleam of glory lies,
a light still breaks behind the cloud
that veils thee from our eyes.
3 Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds,
and let thy grace be given,
that, while we linger yet below,
our treasure be in heaven;
4 that, where thou art at God’s right hand,
our hope, our love may be:
dwell in us now, that we may dwell
for evermore in thee. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Ascension Languages: English Tune Title: ST JAMES

All things bright and beautiful,
all creatures great and small,
all things wise and wonderful,
the Lord God made them all.
1 Each little flower that opens,
each little bird that sings,
he made their glowing colours,
he made their tiny wings. [Refrain]
2 The purple-headed mountain,
the river running by,
the sunset, and the morning
that brightens up the sky: [Refrain]
3 The cold wind in the winter,
the pleasant summer sun,
the ripe fruits in the garden,
he made them every one. [Refrain]
*4 The tall trees in the greenwood,
the meadows where we play,
the rushes by the water
we gather every day: [Refrain]
s He gave us eyes to see them,
and lips that we might tell
how great is God Almighty,
who has made all things well. [Refrain]

Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #665 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed:
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall;
with the poor and mean and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And through all his wondrous childhood
he would honour and obey,
love and watch the lowly Maiden,
in whose gentle arms he lay:
Christian children all must be
mild, obedient, good as he.
4 For he is our childhood's pattern,
day by day like us he grew,
he was little, weak, and helpless,
tears and smiles like us he knew;
and he feeleth for our sadness,
and he shareth in our gladness.
5 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love,
for that Child so dear and gentle
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
6 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high;
where like stars his children crowned
all in white shall wait around. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young Scripture: Matthew 2:1-6 Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

There is a green hill far away
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #669 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
without a city wall,
where the dear Lord was crucified,
who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin;
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven and let us in.
5 Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved,
and we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do. Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young Languages: English Tune Title: HORSLEY
