Upon the Cross Extended
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; John Kelly, 1833-90 Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross extended,
See, world, your Lord suspended;
Your Savior yields his breath.
The Prince of life from heaven
Himself has freely given
To shame and blows and bitter death.
2 How God at our transgression
To anger gives expression,
How loud his thunders roll,
How fearfully he smites him,
How sorely he requites him --
All this your suff'rings teach my soul.
3 'Tis I who should be smitten,
My doom should here be written:
Bound hand and foot in hell.
The fetters and the scourging,
The floods around you surging,
'Tis I who have deserved them well.
4 A crown of thorns you're wearing,
My shame and scorn you're bearing
That I might ransomed be.
My bondsman, ever willing,
My place with patience filling,
From sin and guilt has made me free.
5 Your cords of love, my Savior,
Bind me to you forever;
I am no longer mine.
To you I gladly tender
All that my life can render
And all I have to you resign. Topics: Lent; Lent Used With Tune: O WELT, ICH MUSS DICH LASSEN

O God, Before I Slumber
Author: H. Steffensen Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, before I slumber
This night, now dark and somber,
Incline Thine ear to me;
For all, which Thou hast given,
For Thy sweet gifts from heaven,
I give my humble thanks to Thee.
2 Thy grace and loving kindness
To me, beset with blindness,
I do not understand;
The more Thy gifts I ponder,
The greater is my wonder,
When I behold Thy bounteous hand.
3 Each day, anew beginning,
I know that I am sinning
Against Thy precious Word;
But Thou my sins forgivest,
Thou, who forever livest,
A merciful and faithful Lord.
4 Thou unto me art bending
And hearest when I'm sending
To Thee my longing sigh;
My soul Thy grace adoreth,
Thy Spirit me restoreth
To worship Thee, my God on high.
5 O Lord, my Comfort tender,
To Thee I do surrender
My body, soul, and all.
I lay me down asleeping,
Relying on Thy keeping,
And on Thy mighty arm I fall. Topics: Morning and Evening Used With Tune: [O God, before I slumber]

O Food to Pilgrims Given
Author: John Athelstan Laurie Riley Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O food to pilgrims given,
O bread of life from heaven,
O manna from on high!
We hunger; Lord, supply us,
nor thy delights deny us,
whose hearts to thee draw nigh.
2. O stream of love past telling,
O purest fountain, welling
from out the Savior's side!
We faint with thirst; revive us,
of thine abundance give us,
and all we need provide.
3. O Jesus, by thee bidden,
we here adore thee, hidden
in forms of bread and wine.
Grant when the veil is risen,
we may behold, in heaven,
thy countenance divine.

O God, mine inmost soul convert
Come, see the place where Jesus lay
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics:
Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
And hear angelic watchers say,
"He lives, who once was slain:
Why seek the living midst the dead?
Remember how the Savior said
That he would rise again."
O joyful sound! O glorious hour,
When by his own Almighty power
He rose and left the grave!
Now let our songs his triumph tell,
Who burst the bands of death and hell,
And ever lives to save.
The First-begotten of the dead,
For us he rose, our glorious Head,
Immortal life to bring;
What though the saints like him shall die,
They share their Leader's victory,
And triumph with their King.
No more they tremble at the grave,
For Jesus will their spirits save,
And raise their slumbering dust:
O risen Lord, in thee we live,
To thee our ransomed souls we give,
To thee our bodies trust.
Amen.

Come, see the place where Jesus lay
Now Rest Beneath Night's Shadows
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest beneath night's shadows
The woodlands, fields and meadows,
The world in slumber lies;
But thou, my soul, awake thee,
To song and prayer betake thee,
Let praise to thy Creator rise.
2 The radiant sun hath vanished,
Its golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day;
But Christ, the Sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness,
Within my heart holds constant sway.
3 The rule of day is over,
And shining jewels cover
The sky above so blue.
Thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given
To all who faithful prove and true.
4 My body lies divested
Of garments that have rested
Upon this form of clay.
But I in rapture ponder
How Christ shall clothe me yonder
With glory that endures for aye.
5 Lord Jesus, who dost love me,
Thy pinions spread above me,
And shield me well from harm.
Let angel guards attend me
And from the foe defend me,
That I may rest without alarm.
6 My loved ones, rest securely,
For God will keep you surely
From pain and perils sore.
Sweet slumbers may He send you,
And may His hosts defend you
With golden weapons evermore. Topics: Evening Used With Tune: INNSPRUCK Text Sources: Tr. Composite
