In the cross of Christ I glory

Author: Sir John Bowring, L. L. D. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #168 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story, Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'er-take 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 more lustre 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. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story, Gathers round its head sublime.

"The wondrous Cross"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #169 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross, On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord! that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 His dying crimson, like a robe, Spreads o'er his body on the tree; Then I am dead to all the globe, And all the globe is dead to me. 5 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

"Man of Sorrows"

Author: George S. Dwight Hymnal: Laudes Domini #170 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: O Jesus, "Man of Sorrows" Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, "Man of Sorrows," Sole Son of God, the King! What language shall I borrow Thy boundless love to sing? No mortal words can measure The burdens thou didst take, Accepting pain as pleasure, All for my sinful sake. 2 By thine own kin neglected By trusted ones denied By bitter foes rejected, Thorn-crowned, and crucified Earth's hatred and affliction In patience thou didst bear, Returning benediction For cross and nail and spear. 3 Had ever love such proving! Was ever love so priced! Ah, what is all my loving Compared with thine, O Christ! 'Tis scarcely worth the gaining This paltry heart of mine; And yet for its obtaining Thou paid'st a price divine.

"He remembers Calvary"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #164 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: How condescending and how kind Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind Was God's eternal Son! Our misery reached his heavenly mind, And pity brought him down. 2 He sunk beneath our heavy woes, To raise us to his throne; There's ne'er a gift his hand bestows, But cost his heart a groan. 3 This was compassion, like a God, That when the Saviour knew The price of pardon was his blood, His pity ne'er withdrew. 4 Now, though he reigns exalted high, His love is still as great; Well he remembers Calvary, Nor let his saints forget.

There is a green hill far away

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Laudes Domini #167 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell What pains he had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 2 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious blood. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 3 Oh, dearly, dearly, has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do. For there's a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. Languages: English Tune Title: CONCONE

Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. 2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain: Mine, mine was the transgression, But thine the deadly pain; Lo, here I fall, my Saviour! 'Tis I deserved thy place; Look on me with thy favor, Vouchsafe to me thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow, To thank thee, dearest Friend, For this, thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Lord, make me thine for ever, Nor let me faithless prove; Oh, let me never, never, Abuse such dying love. Languages: English Tune Title: GERHARDT

"Grace unknown"

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #165 (1890) Topics: Christ Crucifixion of; Christ Crucifixion of First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign 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 great Creator, 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 my 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.

Who look by faith on thee. 4 O Christ of God, O spotless Lamb, By love my soul is drawn; Henceforth, for ever, thine I am; Here life and peace are born. 5 In patient hope, the cross I'll bear, Thine arm shall be my stay; And thou, enthroned, my soul shalt spare, On thy great judgment-day.
