Christian, Wouldst Thou Boast Aright?

Author: Herbert Kynaston Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Christian, wouldst thou boast aright Lyrics: 1 Christian, wouldst thou boast aright, Deck thy brows with living light? Twined above that altar’s horns, Contemplate the crown of thorns: Him, the rather, love the more Who for thee that thorn-crown wore. 2 This the King of Glory bound All His bleeding forehead round; With this helmet on His head Smote the foe of quick and dead; Crowned with this triumphant wreath Plucked the thorny sting from death. 3 This the crest the fight to stem, Pontiff’s only diadem, Only crown on earth to win, In the battlefield of sin, Changed, the while that head they hold, Crown of thorns to crowns of gold. 4 All those thorn-points, sharp and gory, Touched by Him are rays of glory, In His Passion’s crucifying Scorn no more, but praise undying, Twining roses for His tomb Of an amaranthine bloom. 5 Thorny ground with sweat of brow Mingling in that labor now, While the second Adam toils, All the earth of curse despoils; Thorns, fit only for the burning, To a wreath of radiance turning. 6 Only good, and only grand, Jesus, strength of those that stand, Only might of them that win, Pluck from life the sting of sin; From our work with briers strown Wreathe us an eternal crown!

Lamb Of God, Who Bear'st Away

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Lamb of God, who bear’st away Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, who bear’st away All the sins of all mankind, Bow a nation to Thy sway While we may acceptance find; Let us thankfully embrace The last offers of Thy grace. 2 Thou Thy messengers hast sent Joyful tidings to proclaim, Willing we should all repent, Know salvation in Thy name, Feel our sins by grace forgiven, Find in Thee the way to Heav’n. 3 Jesu, roll away the stone, Good Physician, show Thine art; Make Thine healing virtue known, Break the unbelieving heart, Soften the obdurate crowd, Melt the rebels by Thy blood. 4 Let Thy dying love constrain Those that disregard Thy frown; Sink the mountain to a plain, Bring the pride of sinners down; By Thy bloody cross subdue, Tell them, "I have died for you!" 5 Or if yet they will not turn In their acceptable day, Will not look on Thee and mourn, Will not cast their sins away, Them at last by judgments shake, By Thy thunder’s voice awake. 6 Force our hardened souls to fear, Visit with affliction’s rod, Let us have our chastening here, Fall into the hands of God ; Scourge, but make not a full end, Punish us, but, Lord, amend. 7 Let th’effect of Jacob’s pain Be to purge his sin away, Let the stock take root again, Flourish in a Gospel day, Forth in gracious blossoms shoot, Fill the Earth with golden fruit. 8 If the ruin be decreed, Turn it to Thy people’s good, Still preserve the holy seed, Arm us with Thy sprinkled blood, Till the utmost grace we prove, Perfect in all-patient love.

Dyre Jesus, led mig fram, För min farkost in i hamn. 2 Likt ett barn vid moders bröst Stillas hafvet vid din röst. Stormig bölja lägger sig, När hon hør ditt "Ssilla, tig." Gud allsvåldig är ditt namn; För min farkost in i hamn. 3 När jag slutar färden svår – Dödens bränning mot mig slår – Ingif då mitthjärta trøst, Låt mig høra få din röst, Där jag hvilar i din famn: "Jag skall föra dig i hamn."

Ember, Halljad Istened

Author: Charles Wesley; Anna Piroska Williams Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ember, halljad Istened, Jó hír, mit üzen neked: "Ismerjed be bűnödet— S mit érdemelsz, ne kapd meg, Megbocsáthassak neked: Megtisztítsam szívedet!" 2 Bennünk nincsen semmi jó, Alkotónkhoz mi méltó. Önző, büszke természet, Az jellemzi éltünket. Bűnnek zsoldja a halál! Érzed is: rászolgáltál. 3 Jóvá tenni bűnödet, Ember, néked nem lehet! Mind hiába, mit te adsz, Mindaz, mit te áldozhatsz. Drága lelkünk váltsága! Egy-egy lélek záloga! 4 Mit tennél hát? — Mit tehetsz? Tiszta szívű hogy lehetsz? Hogy újítod meg magad, Hogy Uradnak szót fogadj? Magadtól életre kélj, És többé ne vétkezzél? 5 Szó sincs róla! Az nem megy, Egy segíthet itt: csak Egy! Győzött bűn és sír felett, Így szólt: "Elvégeztetett!" Állta adósságodat: Törli tartozásodat! 6 Boldog vagy, ha Istened Nem ró fel már bűnt neked! Jézus meghalt éretted, Jóvá téve vétkedet: Higgyél Benne! így öröm, Béke részed örökkön!

Lo, At Noon 'Tis Sudden Night

Author: Jane Taylor Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: Lo, at noon ’tis sudden night Lyrics: 1 Lo, at noon ’tis sudden night. Darkness covers all the sky! Rocks are rending at the sight! Children, can you tell me why? What can all these wonders be? Jesus dies on Calvary. 2 Stretched upon the cross, behold How His tender limbs are torn! For a royal crown of gold, They have made Him one of thorn! Cruel hands, that dare to bind Thorns upon a brow so kind. 3 See! the blood is falling fast From His forehead and His side! Listen! He has breathed His last! With a mighty groan He died! Children, can you tell me why Jesus condescends to die? 4 He, who was a king above, Left His kingdom for a grave, Out of pity and of love, That the guilty He might save: Down to this sad world He flew For such little ones as you. 5 You were wretched, weak, and vile; You deserved His holy frown; But He saw you with a smile, And, to save you, hastened down: Listen, children, this is why Jesus condescends to die. 6 Come, then, children, come and see! Lift your little hands to pray; "Blessèd Jesus, pardon me, Help a guilty infant," say; "Since it was for such as I Thou didst condescend to die."

All who will, behold Him now, All who will, before Him bow. 7 Jesus Christ has come again, Saving truth has come to men; Angels, chant your hymns of praise, Sons of men, your voices raise; Shout the tidings far and near, Christ, the blessèd truth, is here.
