What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul. 2 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of life to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, to lay aside his crown for my soul. 3 To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing, to God and to the Lamb, I will sing: to God and to the Lamb who is the great I AM, while millions join the theme I will sing, I will sing; while millions join the theme I will sing. 4 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on, and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on; and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing and joyful be, and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on; And through eternity I’ll sing on.

And can it be that I should gain

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Appears in 286 hymnals Topics: Lent 5 Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Saviour's blood? Died he for me, who caused his pain? For me, who him to death pursued? Amazing love! How can it be That thou, my God, shouldest die for me? Amazing love! How can it be That thou, my God, shouldest die for me? 2 'Tis mystery all: the Immortal dies! Who can explore his strange design? In vain the first-born seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine. 'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. 3 He left his Father's throne above - So free, so infinite his grace - Emptied himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race. 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; For, O my God, it found out me! 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quickening ray - I woke, the dungeon flamed with light, My chains fell off, my heart was free, I rose, went forth, and followed thee. 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in him, is mine! Alive in him, my living head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach the eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ, my own. Used With Tune: SAGINA

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Hymnal: Lutheran Book of Worship #95 (1978) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Topics: Lent 5 Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus, Who, in bitter pains, Poured for me the lifeblood From his sacred veins. 2 Grace and life eternal In that blood I find; Blest be his compassion, Infinitely kind. 3 Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream Which from endless torment Did the world redeem. 4 Abel’s blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. 5 Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, Angel hosts rejoicing Make their glad reply. 6 Lift we then our voices, Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder Praise the precious blood.

Richard Redhead

1820 - 1901 Topics: Lent 5 Year B Composer of "REDHEAD No. 76" in Voices United Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).
