At even, ere the sun was set
Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 312 hymnals Scripture: John 12:27 Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set,
the sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O in what divers pains they met!
O with what joy they went away!
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we
oppressed with various ills draw near;
what if thy form we cannot see?
we know and feel that thou art here.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel;
for some are sick, and some are sad,
and some have never loved thee well,
and some have lost the love they had.
4 And some have found the world is vain,
yet from the world they break not free;
and some have friends who give them pain,
yet have not sought a friend in thee.
5 And none, O Lord, has perfect rest,
for none is wholly free from sin;
and they who fain would serve thee best
are conscious most of wrong within.
6 O Christ, thou hast been human too,
thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
thy kind but searching glance can view
the very wounds that shame would hide.
7 Thy touch has still its ancient pow'r;
no word from thee can fruitless fall:
Hear, in this solemn evening hour,
and in thy mercy heal us all. Topics: Evening; Healing; Suffering and Sorrow Used With Tune: ANGELUS

"Whom unseen, we love"
Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 240 hymnals Scripture: John 12:21 First Line: Jesus, these eyes have never seen Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen
That radiant form of thine!
The vail of sense hangs dark between
Thy blessed face and mine!
2 I see thee not, I hear thee not,
Yet art thou oft with me;
And earth has ne'er so dear a spot,
As where I meet with thee.
3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought,
When slumbers o'er me roll,
Thine image ever fills my thought,
And charms my ravished soul.
4 Yet though I have not seen, and still
Must rest in faith alone;
I love thee, dearest Lord!--and will,
Unseen, but not unknown.
5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal,
And still this throbbing heart,
The rending vail shall thee reveal,
All glorious as thou art! Topics: Christ Character of; Christians Love for Christ; Communion of Saints With Christ Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

The People That in Darkness Sat
Author: John Morison (1750-1798) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: John 12:20-36 Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the Light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.
2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 Lord Jesus, reign in us we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
and Holy Spirit one. Topics: Epiphany (season); Christmas Used With Tune: DUNDEE

The Death of the Lord of Glory
Author: Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 190 hymnals Scripture: John 12:32 First Line: Stretch'd on the cross the Saviour dies Lyrics: 1 Stretch'd on the cross, the Saviour dies;
Hark! his expiring groans arise!
See, from his hands, his feet, his side,
Runs down the sacred crimson tide!
2 But life attends the deathful sound,
And flows from ev'ry 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—
O why for man, dear Saviour, why?
4 And didst thou bleed, for sinners bleed?
And could the sun behold the deed?
No, he withdrew his sick'ning ray,
And darkness veil'd the mourning day.
5 Can I survey this scene of woe,
Where mingling grief and wonder flow;
And yet my heart unmov'd remain,
Insensible to love or pain?
6 Come, dearest Lord, thy pow'r impart,
To warm this cold, this stupid heart;
Till all its pow'rs and passions move
In melting grief and ardent love.

Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Scripture: John 12:23 Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her Maker's praise abroad,
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of our God.
2 But in the grace that rescued man
his brightest form of glory shines;
here on the cross 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete;
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved and died;
her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Proper 22 Year A Used With Tune: NÜRNBERG

See what a living stone
Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: John 12 Lyrics: 1 See what a living Stone
the Builders did refuse;
Yet God hath built his Church thereon,
in Spite of envious Jews.
2 The Scribe and angry Priest
reject thine only Son;
Yet on this Rock shall Zion rest,
as the chief Corner-Stone.
3 The Work, O Lord, is thine,
and wondrous in our Eyes:
This Day declares it all divine,
this Day did Jesus rise.
4 This is the glorious Day
that our Redeemer made;
Let us rejoice, and sing and pray,
let all the Church be glad.
5 Hosanna to the King
of David's Royal Blood;
Bless him, ye Saints; he comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
6 We bless thine holy Word,
which all this Grace displays;
And offer on thine Altar, Lord,
our Sacrifice of Praise.
See what a living stone
