Author: Robert Bridges; Johann Heermann Appears in 135 hymnals First Line: Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended, That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended? By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted! 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee! ’Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinnèd, and the Son hath suffered; For man’s atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thine incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life’s oblation; Thy death of anguish, and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee: Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

Ajar the Temple Gates Are Swinging

Author: Franz M. Franzen Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ajar the temple gates are swinging, Lo! still the grace of God is free. Perhaps when next the bells are ringing The grave shall open unto thee, And thou art laid beneath the sod No more to see this house of God. 2 But if to-day the Lord thou seekest, His blessed gospel to embrace, He who gives strength unto the weakest Shall fill thy heart with truth and grace. In life He will thy footsteps guide, In death He still is at thy side. 3 O come to-day, and do not reckon Upon the day that is not thine. The Lord in mercy still doth beckon: Accept to-day His grace divine. Then shall thy prayers and praises rise A sacred incense to the skies. Amen.

Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 2,301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes 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 his glories in, When Christ the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do. Amen.

Alas, My God! My Sins Are Great

Author: Martin Rutilius Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath pow'r to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot: Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher; Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever. Amen.

Sing, Ringing Sounds are blending, Praises sending Unto heaven For the Saviour to us given. 2 ’Tis God’s own Image and, withal, The Son of Man, that mortals all May find in Him a brother. He comes, with peace and love to bide On earth, the erring race to guide And help as could no other; Rather Gather Closer, fonder, Sheep that wander, Feed and fold them, Than let evil powers hold them. 3 He tears, like other men, will shed, Our sorrows share, and be our aid, Through His eternal power; The Lord’s good will unto us show, And mingle in our cup of woe The drops of mercy’s shower; Dying, Buying Through His passion Our salvation, And to mortals Opening the heavenly portals. 4 He comes, for our redemption sent, And by His glory heaven is rent To close upon us never: Our blessèd Shepherd He would be, Whom we may follow faithfully And be with Him forever; Higher, Nigher Glory winging, Praises singing To the Father And His Son, our Lord and Brother. Amen.
