Beloved Jesus, what law hast Thou broken

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #198 (1918) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Beloved Jesus, what law hast Thou broken, That such sharp sentence should on Thee be spoken? Of what great crime hast Thou to make confession, Of what transgression? 2 They crown Thy head with thorns, they smite, they scourge Thee, With cruel mockings to the cross they urge Thee, They give Thee gall to drink, they still decry Thee, They crucify Thee. 3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish? It is my sins for which Thou, Lord, must languish; Yea, all the wrath, the woe Thou dost inherit, 'Tis I do merit. 4 What strangest punishment is suffered yonder? The Shepherd dies for sheep that love to wander, The Master pays the debt His servants owe Him, Who would not own Him. 5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness; The sinful child of man may live in gladness; Man forfeited his life, and is acquitted-- God is committed. 6 There was no spot in me by sin untainted, Sick with sin’s poison all my heart had fainted; My heavy guilt to hell had well nigh brought me, Such woe it wrought me. 7 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, That brought Thee here by foes and thieves surrounded, All worldly pleasures, heedless, I was trying While Thou wert dying! 8 O mighty King, no time can dim Thy glory! How shall I spread abroad Thy wondrous story? How shall I find some worthy gifts to proffer? What dare I offer? 9 For vainly doth our human wisdom ponder Thy woes, Thy mercy still transcends our wonder. O how should I do aught that could delight Thee! Can I requite Thee? 10 Yet unrequited, Lord, I would not leave Thee; I will renounce whate’er doth vex or grieve Thee, And quench with thoughts of Thee and prayers most lowly All fires unholy. 11 But since my own strength never will suffice me To crucify desires that still entice me, To all good deeds, O let Thy Spirit win me, And reign within me! 12 I’ll think upon Thy mercy without ceasing, That earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing; To do Thy will shall be my sole endeavor Henceforth forever. 13 Whate’er of earthly good this life may grant me I’ll risk for Thee; no shame, no cross shall daunt me; I shall not fear what man can do to harm me, Nor death alarm me. 14 But, worthless is my sacrifice, I own it; Yet, Lord, for love’s sake Thou wilt not disown it; Thou wilt accept my gift in Thy great meekness, Nor shame my weakness. 15 And when, dear Lord, before Thy throne in heaven, To me the crown of joy at last is given, Where sweetest hymns Thy saints forever raise Thee, I too shall praise Thee.

George Ratcliffe Woodward

1848 - 1934 Person Name: George R. Woodward Meter: 11.11.11.5 Harmonizer of "DIVA SERVATRIX" in The Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America 1940 Educated at Caius College in Cambridge, England, George R. Woodward (b. Birkenhead, Cheshire, England, 1848; d. Highgate, London, England, 1934) was ordained in the Church of England in 1874. He served in six parishes in London, Norfolk, and Suffolk. He was a gifted linguist and translator of a large number of hymns from Greek, Latin, and German. But Woodward's theory of translation was a rigid one–he held that the translation ought to reproduce the meter and rhyme scheme of the original as well as its contents. This practice did not always produce singable hymns; his translations are therefore used more often today as valuable resources than as congregational hymns. With Charles Wood he published three series of The Cowley Carol Book (1901, 1902, 1919), two editions of Songs of Syon (1904, 1910), An Italian Carol Book (1920), and the Cambridge Carol Book

Healey Willan

1880 - 1968 Person Name: Healey Willan, 1880- Meter: 11.11.11.5 Harmonizer of "ISTE CONFESSOR" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada Healey Willan (b. Balham, London, England, October 12, 1880; d. Toronto, Ontario, February 16, 1968), theory teacher, composer and organist, was born into an Anglo-Catholic family in England and served several churches in the London area, becoming known especially for his adaptations of Gregorian chant to be able to be sung in English translation. In 1913 he moved to Canada where he led the theory department and was organist at the Toronto Conservatory of Music. He also was organist at St. Paul’s, Canada’s largest Anglican church, and after 1921 at the smaller Church of St. Mary Magdalene. By invitation, he composed an anthem for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, a singular honor for one not residing in England. Emily Brink

Other publications include A Hymntune Psalter (2 volumes, 1988-1989) and Breaking the Word: Essays on the Liturgical Dimensions of Preaching (1994, for which he served as editor and contributed two essays. In 2002 a collection of 25 of his hymns in Japanese was published by the United Church of Christ in Japan.
