How Good, Lord, to Be Here

Author: Joseph A. Robinson, 1858-1933 Hymnal: LW1982 #89 (1982) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: How good, Lord, to be here! Lyrics: 1 How good, Lord, to be here! Your glory fills the night; Your face and garments, like the sun, Shine with unborrowed light. 2 How good, Lord, to be here, Your beauty to behold Where Moses and Elijah stand, Your messengers of old. 3 Fulfiller of the past And hope of things to be! We hail your body glorified And our redemption see. 4 Before we taste of death, We see your kingdom come; We long to hold the vision bright And make this hill our home. 5 How good, Lord, to be here! Yet we may not remain; But since you bid us leave the mount, Come with us to the plain. Topics: Epiphany; Transfiguration of Our Lord, The Languages: English Tune Title: POTSDAM

Jesus, Refuge of the Weary

Author: Jane F. Wilde; Girolamo Savonarola, 1452-98 Hymnal: LW1982 #90 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Jesus, refuge of the weary, Blest redeemer, whom we love, Fountain in life's desert dreary, Savior from the world above: Often have your eyes, offended, Gazed upon the sinner's fall; Yet upon the cross extended, You have borne the pain of all. 2 Do we pass that cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see you wounded, bleeding, See your thorn-encircled brow? Yet your sinless death has brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what your grace has taught us Calms the sinner's deep distress. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for you; May our eyes be ever turning To behold your cross anew Till in glory, parted never From the blessed Savior's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the cross, the Crucified.

My Song Is Love Unknown

Author: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-83 Hymnal: LW1982 #91 (1982) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown, My Savior's love to me, Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be. Oh, who am I That for my sake My Lord should take Frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But oh, my friend, My friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew his way And his sweet praises sing; Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King. Then "Crucify!" Is all their breath, And for his death They thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! Yet they at these Themselves displease And 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they save, The prince of life they slay. Yet cheerful he To suff'ring goes That he his foes From thence might free. 6 In life no house, no home My Lord on earth might have; In death no friendly tomb But what a stranger gave. What may I say? Heav'n was his home But mine the tomb Wherein he lay. 7 Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine! Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like thine. This is my friend, In whose sweet praise I all my days Could gladly spend! Topics: Atonement; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE UNKNOWN

Savior, When in Dust to You

Author: Robert Grant, 1779-1838 Hymnal: LW1982 #93 (1982) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to you Low we bow in homage due; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; Oh, by all your pains and woe Suffered once for man below, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry! 2 By your helpless infant years, By your life of want and tears, By your days of deep distress In the savage wilderness, By the dread, mysterious hour Of the insulting tempter's pow'r, Turn, oh, turn a fav'ring eye; Hear our penitential cry! 3 By your hour of dire despair, By your agony of prayer, By the cross, the nail, the thorn, Piercing spear, and torturing scorn, By the gloom that veiled the skies O'er the dreadful sacrifice, Listen to our humble sigh; Hear our penitential cry! 4 By your deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By the vault whose dark abode Held in vain the rising God, Oh, from earth to heav'n restored, Mighty, re-ascended Lord, Bending from your throne on high, Hear our penitential cry!

Thousand, thousand thanks are due, Dearest Jesus, unto you. 2 You have suffered great affliction And have borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me; For you chose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks are due, Dearest Jesus, unto you. 3 Then, for all that bought my pardon, For the sorrows deep and sore, For the anguish in the garden, I will thank you evermore, Thank you for the groaning, sighing, For the bleeding and the dying, For that last triumphant cry, Praise you evermore on high.

Come to Calvary's Holy Mountain

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: LW1982 #96 (1982) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 First Line: Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain Lyrics: 1 Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain, Sinners, ruined by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows for you, for me, for all, In a full perpetual tide, Opened when our Savior died. 2 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty, free remission, Here the troubled, peace may find. Your true health it will restore, So that you need thirst no more. 3 Come with hurts and guilts and meanness, Come, however soiled within; From the most ingrained uncleanness, From pollution by your sin, Wash your robes and make them white; You shall walk with God in light. 4 Take the life that lasts forever; Trust this soul-renewing flood. God is faithful; God will never Break his covenant of blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when he was glorified.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: LW1982 #97 (1982) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my sov'reign die? Would he devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? 2 Was it for sins that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut its glories in When God, the mighty maker, died For his own creatures' sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But tears of grief cannot repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away: It's all that I can do.

Glory Be to Jesus

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Hymnal: LW1982 #98 (1982) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood From his sacred veins! 2 Grace and life eternal In that blood I find; Blest be his compassion, Infinitely kind. 3 Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream Which from endless torment Did the world redeem. 4 Abel’s blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. 5 Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, Angel hosts rejoicing Make their glad reply. 6 Lift we then our voices, Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood.
