Lord of life, when foes assail us
Author: Hunter Dodds Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #517 (1917) Topics: Christ Man of Sorrows; Man Of Sorrows; Sorrow Personal Lyrics: 1 Lord of life, when foes assail us,
And our hearts are bowed in pain,
Earthly friends can not deliver;
Swords and bucklers, all are vain.
Be our buckler, Thou whose pity
Bore the shame upon the tree:
Man of Sorrows, in our sorrow
We can only trust in Thee.
2 On the darkly heaving billows,
Thou didst walk, and they were still;
Thou canst stay the ills that press us,
They are servants to Thy will.
Thou alone art King of nations,
Lord of life and victory:
Man of Sorrows, in our sorrows
We can only trust in Thee.
3 O subdue our heart's rebellion,
That we faint not nor repine;
Nought of evil can befall us,
That comes down from hand of Thine.
May we, like Thy great disciple,
Meet Thee on the swelling sea:
Man of Sorrows, in our sorrows
We can only trust in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: SALVATOR
Lord of life, when foes assail us
O that I knew where I might find him; or, sins and Sorrows laid before God
Author: Watts Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XCIX (1792) Topics: Sin and sorrow laid before God; Sorrow laid before God First Line: O that I knew the secret place Lyrics: 1 O that I knew the secret place
Where I might find my God!
I'd spread my wants before his face,
And pour my woes abroad.
2 I'd tell him how my sins arise,
What sorrows I sustain;
How grace decays, and comfort dies,
And leaves my heart in pain.
3 He knows what arguments I'd take
To wrestle with my God;
I'd plead for his own mercy's sake,
And for my Savior's blood.
4 My God will pity my complaints,
And heal my broken bones;
He takes the meaning of his saints,
The language of their groans.
5 Arise, my soul, from deep distress,
And banish every fear;
He calls thee to his throne of grace,
To spread thy sorrows there. Scripture: Job 23:3-4 Languages: English
O that I knew where I might find him; or, sins and Sorrows laid before God

At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping
Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Hymnal: Voices United #139 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7 Topics: Sorrow Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping
stood the mournful Mother weeping
where he hung, the dying Lord;
2 through her soul of joy bereavèd,
bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd,
passed the sharp and piercing sword.
3 Who upon that mother gazing,
in her anguish so amazing,
born of woman, would not weep?
4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking
while her son that cup is drinking,
would not share her sorrow deep?
5 For his people's sins chastisèd
she beheld her Son despisèd
scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined,
6 saw him then from judgement taken,
and in death by all forsaken,
till his spirit he resigned.
7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding,
grief and love my heart dividing,
I with her would take my place:
8 by your saving cross uphold me,
in your dying, Christ, enfold me,
with the deathless arms of grace. Tune Title: STABAT MATER

and human hearts are breaking,
we bring our grief to you, O God,
who knows our inner aching.
2 Set free our spirits from all fear —
the cloud of dark unknowing,
and let the light, the Christ-light show
the pathway of our going.
3 Make real for us your holding love,
the love which is your meaning,
the power to move the stone of death,
the hope of Easter morning.
4 And let the one we love now go
where we, in faith, shall follow,
to travel in the Spirit's peace,
to make an end to sorrow. Scripture: John 11:25-26 Languages: English Tune Title: BARBARA ALLEN
