Ah, holy Jesu, how hast thou offended
Author: Robert Bridges, 1844-1930; Johann Heermann, 1585-1647 Hymnal: Common Praise #100 (2000) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesu, how hast thou offended,
that we to judge thee have 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, Jesu, hath undone thee.
'Twas I, Lord Jesu, I it was denied thee:
I crucified thee.
3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered:
the slave hath sinned, and yet the Son hath suffered:
for our atonement, while we nothing heeded,
God interceded.
4 For me, kind Jesu, was thy incarnation,
thy mortal sorrow, and thy life's oblation;
thy death of anguish and thy bitter passion,
for my salvation.
5 Therefore, kind Jesu, 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. Scripture: John 1:11 Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLIEBSTER JESU
Ah, holy Jesu, how hast thou offended
O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Thomas à Kempis, c. 1379-1471; Benjamin Webb, 1819-1885 Hymnal: Common Praise #118 (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
It fills the heart with ecstasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 He sent no angel to our race
of higher or of lower place,
but wore the robe of human frame
himself, and to this lost world came.
3 For us he was baptized, and bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Scripture: Acts 2:23-33 Languages: English Tune Title: EISENACH
O love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: Common Praise #121 (2000) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle,
sing the ending of the fray,
o'er the cross, the victor's trophy,
sound the loud triumphant lay:
tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer,
as a victim won the day.
2 God in pity saw man fallen,
shamed and sunk in misery,
when he fell on death by tasting
fruit of the forbidden tree:
then another tree was chosen
which the world from death should free.
3 Therefore when the appointed fullness
of the holy time was come,
he was sent who maketh all things
forth from God's eternal home:
thus he came to earth, incarnate,
offspring of a maiden's womb.
4 Thirty years among us dwelling,
now at length his hour fulfilled,
born for this, he meets his Passion,
for that this he freely willed,
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
where his life-blood shall be spilled.
5 To the Trinity be glory,
to the Father and the Son,
with the co-eternal Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
one in love and one in splendour,
while unending ages run. Amen.
Scripture: John 1:14 Languages: English; Latin Tune Title: PANGE LINGUA
Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
The royal banners forward go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #122a (2000) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go,
the cross shines forth in mystic glow;
where he in flesh, or flesh who made,
our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
2 There whilst he hung, his sacred side
by soldier's spear was opened wide,
to cleanse us in the precious flood
of water mingled with his blood.
3 Fulfilled is now what David told
in true prophetic song of old,
how God the nations' King should be;
for God is reigning on the tree.
4 O tree of glory, tree most fair,
ordained those holy limbs to bear,
how bright in purple robe it stood,
the purple of a Saviour's blood!
5 Upon its arms, like balance true,
he weighed the price for sinners due,
the price which none but he could pay,
and spoiled the spoiler of his prey.
6 To thee, eternal Three in One,
let homage meet by all be done:
as by the cross thou dost restore,
so rule and guide us evermore. Amen. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:24 Languages: English Tune Title: VEXILLA REGIS

Dance, then wherever you may be
Author: Sydney Carter, b. 1915 Hymnal: Common Praise #468 (2000) Meter: Irregular Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week First Line: I danced in the morning when the world was begun Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
and I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth;
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
Refrain:
Dance, then, wherever you may be;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
and I'll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he.
2 I danced for the scribe and the pharisee,
but they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me.
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John;
they came with me and the Dance went on: [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame;
the holy people said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,
and they left me there on a cross to die: [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black;
it's hard to dance with the devil on your back.
They buried my body and they thought I'd gone;
but I am the Dance and I still go on: [Refrain]
5 They cut me down and I leapt up high;
I am the life that'll never, never die;
I'll live in you if you'll live in me;
I am the Lord of the Dance," said he: [Refrain] Scripture: John 5:1-18 Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF THE DANCE
Dance, then wherever you may be
