O love divine, how sweet Thou art!

Appears in 379 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love divine, how sweet Thou art! When shall I find my willing heart All taken up by Thee? I long, and thirst, and faint, to prove The greatness of redeeming love-- The love of Christ to me. 2 Stronger His love than death or hell; Its reaches are unsearchable; The first-born sons of light Desire, in vain, its depths to see; They cannot reach the mystery, The length, and breadth, the height. 3 Oh that I could for ever sit, With Mary, at the Master's feet! Be this my happy choice, My only care, delight, and bliss, My joy, my heaven on earth be this, To hear the Bridegroom's voice. 4 Oh that I could, with favored John, Recline my weary head upon The dear Redeemer's breast! From care, and sin, and sorrow free, Give me, O Lord, to find in Thee My everlasting rest. Topics: God the Son Preciousness

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,618 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, And drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis manna to the hungry soul, And to the weary, rest. 3 By Him my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled; Satan accuses me in vain, When I am owned a child. 4 Weak is the effort of my heart, And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 5 Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy name Refresh my soul in death.

Jesus! I love Thy charming name

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 546 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus! I love Thy charming name, ’Tis music to mine ear; Fain would I sound it out so loud That earth and heaven should hear. 2 Yes, Thou art precious to my soul, My joy, my hope, my trust; Jewels, to Thee, are gaudy toys, And gold is sordid dust. 3 All my capacious powers can wish In Thee most richly meet; Not to mine eyes is light so dear, Nor friendship half so sweet. 4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart, And sheds its fragrance there;-- The noblest balm of all its wounds, The cordial of its care. 5 I'll speak the honors of Thy name With my last laboring breath; Then, speechless, clasp Thee in mine arms, The antidote of death.

Did Christ for sinners weep?

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 422 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Did Christ for sinners weep? And shall our cheeks be dry? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from every eye. 2 The Son of God in tears Angels with wonder see; Be thou astonished, O my soul, He shed those tears for Thee. 3 He wept that we might weep; Each sin demands a tear: In heaven alone no sin is found, And there's no weeping there.

Appears in 442 hymnals First Line: Saviour, when in dust to Thee Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust, to Thee, Low we bow th' adoring knee, When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our streaming eyes, Oh by all Thy pains and woe, Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and fears, By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness; By the victory in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye: Hear our solemn litany. 3 By Thine hour of dark despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds--Thy crown of thorns, By Thy cross--Thy pangs and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice, Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the sealed sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, By Thy power from death to save, Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored-- Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany.

Tis midnight - and on Olive's brow

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 638 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis midnight--and on Olive's brow The star is dimmed that lately shone; 'Tis midnight--in the garden now The suffering Saviour prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight--and from all removed, Immanuel wrestles lone with fears; E'ev the disciple that He loved Heeds not his Master's griefs and tears. 3 'Tis midnight--and for others' guilt The Man of sorrows weeps in blood; Yet He that hath in anguish knelt Is not forsaken by His God. 4 'Tis midnight--and from ether plains Is borne the song that angels know: Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.

O sacred head, now wounded

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 723 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and pain weighed down! How scornfully surrounded With thorns--Thy only crown! O, Sacred Head, what glory, What bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. 2 How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! Thy grief and Thy compassion Were all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. 3 What language shall I borrow To praise Thee, heavenly Friend, For this, Thy dying sorrow-- Thy pity without end? Lord, make me Thine for ever, Nor let me faithless prove; Oh let me never, never Abuse such dying love. 4 Forbid that I should leave Thee; O Jesus, leave not me; By faith I would receive Thee; Thy blood can make me free; When strength and comfort languish, And I must hence depart; Release me then from anguish, By Thine own wounded heart.

A sudden trembling shakes the ground. 2 Come, saints, and drop your tears anew For Him who groaned beneath your load, He shed a thousand drops for you, A thousand drops of richer blood! 3 Here's love and grief beyond degree: The Lord of glory dies for men! But, lo! what sudden joys we see! Jesus, the dead, revives again. 4 The rising God forsakes the tomb, Up to His Father's court He flies; Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout Him welcome to the skies. 5 Break off your rears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliverer reigns; Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell, And led the monster Death in chains. 6 Say: "Live for ever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster: "Where's thy sting? And where's thy victory, boasting grave?" Topics: God the Son Passion

Who is this that comes from Edom

Satan conquered, and the grave; Jesus now is strong to save, 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain: Fallen they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor! reign for ever; Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done: Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes.

See, from His hands, His feet, His side, Runs down the sacred crimson tide! 2 But life attends the deathful sound, And flows from every bleeding wound; The vital stream, how free it flows To save and cleanse His rebel foes! 3 To suffer in the traitor's place, To die for man, surprising grace! Yet pass rebellious angels by-- Oh why for man, dear Saviour, why? 4 Can I survey this scene of woe, Where mingling grief and wonder flow; And yet my heart unmoved remain, Insensible to love or pain? 5 Come, dearest Lord! Thy grace impart, To warn this cold, unfeeling heart; Till all its powers and passions move In melting grief and ardent love. Topics: God the Son Passion

'Tis the long-expected prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress; Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly, Nor suppose the evil great, Here may view its nature rightly, Here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed! See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man, and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation; Here's the refuge of the lost: Christ's the rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast: Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. Topics: God the Son Passion
