Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding
Author: Edward Caswell, 1814-1848 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Tears / Weeping Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding:
"Christ is nigh," it seems to say;
"Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day!"
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
let us all from sleep arise;
Christ, our sun, all ill dispelling,
shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo! the Lamb, so long expected,
comes with pardon down from heaven;
let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
one and all to be forgiven.
4 When our Saviour comes in glory,
though the world be wrapped in fear,
with his mercy he will shield us,
and with words of love draw near.
5 Honour, glory, might and blessing
to the Father and the Son,
with the everlasting Spirit
while eternal ages run. Scripture: Malachi 4:2 Used With Tune: MERTON Text Sources: Latin, anonymous, 6th century

Bread of the world
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 338 hymnals Topics: Tears / Weeping First Line: Bread of the world, in mercy broken Lyrics: Bread of the world, in mercy broken,
wine of the soul, in mercy shed,
by whom the words of life were spoken,
and in whose death our sins are dead:
look on the heart by sorrow broken,
look on the tears by sinners shed,
and be thy feast to us the token
that by thy grace our souls are fed.

Pain vivant donné pour nos âmes,
vin pour nos êtres répandu,
paroles d'amour et de flammes,
mort où l'espoir nous est rendu;
vois notre destin misérable,
les pleurs versés sur nos malheurs,
nourris-nous à ta sainte table
par ta bonté, par tes douleurs. Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Used With Tune: RENDEZ À DIEU

Where cross the crowded ways of life
Author: Frank Mason North, 1860-1935 Appears in 369 hymnals Topics: Tears / Weeping Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice, O Son of Man.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 From tender childhood's helplessness,
from woman's grief, man's burdened toil,
from famished souls, from sorrow's stress,
your heart has never known recoil.
4 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the sweet compassion of your face.
5 O Saviour, from the mountain side,
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
oh tread the city's streets again;
6 Till all the world shall learn your love,
and follow where your feet have trod;
till glorious from your heaven above,
shall come the city of our God. Scripture: Matthew 9:36 Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)

Beneath the cross of Jesus
Author: Elizabeth Cecilia Clephane, 1830-1869 Meter: 7.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 523 hymnals Topics: Tears / Weeping Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty Rock
within a weary land,
a home within the wilderness,
a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat
and the burden of the day.
2 Upon the cross of Jesus
mine eyes at times can see
the very dying form of one
who suffered there for me,
and from my stricken heart with tears
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love
and my own unworthiness.
3 I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss;
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all, the cross. Scripture: Isaiah 32:2 Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER
Beneath the cross of Jesus
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,901 hymnals Topics: Tears / Weeping Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids shall close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Scripture: Exodus 17:1-7 Used With Tune: TOPLADY
Rock of ages, cleft for me
"He remembers Calvary"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: Christ Weeping 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 costs 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. Scripture: Luke 23:33 Used With Tune: HOLY TRINITY
"He remembers Calvary"

Oh come and mourn with me awhile

oh come ye to the Saviour's side;
oh come, together let us mourn;
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
2 Have we no tears to shed for him,
while soldiers scoff and foes deride?
Ah! look how patiently he hangs:
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
3 Seven times he spoke, seven words of love,
and all three hours his silence cried,
"Forgive: they know not what they do."
Jesus, our Lord, is crucified.
4 O love of God! O human sin!
In this dread act your strength is tried,
and victory remains with love:
for Christ, our Lord, is crucified. Used With Tune: ST. CROSS
Oh come and mourn with me awhile
Comfort
Author: George Rawson Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Christ Weeping First Line: In the dark and cloudy day Lyrics: 1 In the dark and cloudy day,
When earth's riches flee away,
And the last hope will not stay,
Saviour, comfort me!
2 When the secret idol's gone
That my poor heart yearned upon,--
Desolate, bereft, alone,
Saviour, comfort me!
3 Thou, who wast so sorely tried,
In the darkness crucified,
Bid me in thy love confide;
Saviour, comfort me!
4 Comfort me; I am cast down:
'Tis my heavenly Father's frown;
I deserve it all, I own:
Saviour, comfort me!
5 So it shall be good for me
Much afflicted now to be,
If thou wilt but tenderly,
Saviour, comfort me! Scripture: Psalm 103:13 Used With Tune: LAST HOPE
Comfort
