In the Cross of Christ I Glory

Author: John Bowring; Miss Jane Eliza Leeson Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,516 hymnals Topics: Church Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me; Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds new luster to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. Amen. Used With Tune: RATHBUN

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Bernard of Clairvaux, (1091-1153) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 726 hymnals Topics: Church Year Holy Week Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded, With thorns Thine only crown! Once reigning in the highest In light and majesty, Dishonored now Thou diest, Yet here I worship Thee. 2 How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. 3 Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, 'Tis I deserve Thy place: Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. Receive me, my Redeemer; My Shepherd, make me Thine, Of every good the Fountain, Thou art the Spring of mine! 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end! Oh, make me Thine forever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. 5 Forbid that I should leave Thee; O Jesus, leave not me; In faith may I receive Thee, When death shall set me free. When strength and comfort languish, And I must hence depart, Release me then from anguish By thine own wounded heart. Amen. Scripture: Job 3:17 Used With Tune: HERZLICH THUT MICH VERLANGEN
