Christ, thy sacred Wounds and Passion
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #27 (1732) Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: I. Christ, thy sacred Wounds and Passion,
Bloody Sweat, Cross, Death, and tomb,
Be my daily Meditation,
Till I to thy Presence come.
When a sinful Thought shall start,
Ready to seduce my heart;
Shew me, that my own Pollution
Caus'd thy bloody Execution.
II. Should my Bosom with lewd Passion
Be enflam'd, and burn to Sin,
Let the Thoughts of thine Oblation
Quench that spreading Hell within.
When the Serpent makes his Way
To my Heart, Lord grant I may
With thy Cross, and Crown of Briar,
Chace from thence that grand Destroyer.
III. Would the world, with gay Temptation
Draw me in its own brad Way;
Let me then think on thy Passion,
And the Load which on Thee lay.
Sure the Sweat, and precious Blood
Of my dear expiring God
Will create in me a Passion
To oppose and shun Temptation.
IV. Lord, in ev'ry sore Oppression,
Let thy Wounds be my Relief.
When I seek thine Intercession,
And new Strength to my Belief.
In thy bloody Hands and Feet
All my greatest Comforts meet.
This imprinted Demonstration
Of thy Love, be my Salvation.
V. All my Hope and Consolation,
Christ, is in thy bitter Death.
In the Hour of Expiration,
Lord, receive my dying Breath.
By thine Agony and Sweat,
Grant me, Lord, a safe Retreat.
By thy glorious Resurrection,
Raise thy Servant to Perfection.
VI. Christ, thy sacred Wounds and Passion,
Bloody Sweat, Cross, Death and Tomb,
Be my daily Meditation,
Till I to thy Presence come;
Most of all, when I go hence,
Let this be my Confidence,
That thy deep humiliation
Was to purchase my Salvation.

Christ, thy sacred Wounds and Passion
Lord Jesus, by Thy passion
Author: Richard F. Littledale Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #236 (1899) Topics: Christ Passion of Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, by Thy Passion,
To Thee I make my prayer;
Thou who in mercy smitest,
Have mercy, Lord, and spare:
Oh, wash me in the fountain
That floweth from Thy side;
Oh, clothe me in the raiment
Thy blood hath purified.
2 Oh, hold Thou up my goings,
And lead from strength to strength,
That unto Thee in Zion
I may appear at length.
Oh, make my spirit worthy
To join that ransomed throng;
Oh, teach my lips to utter
That everlasting song.
3 Oh, give that last, best blessing
That even saints can know,
To follow in Thy footsteps
Wherever Thou dost go.
Not wisdom, might, or glory,
I ask to win above;
I ask for Thee, Thee only,
O Thou eternal Love!

Lord, Thy Death and Passion Give
Author: Johann Heermann; Miss C. Winkworth Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #421 (1929) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Choral Section Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1. Lord, Thy death and passion give
Strength and comfort in my need.
Ev'ry hour while here I live,
On Thy love my soul shall feed.
Thou didst death for me endure,
And I shun all thoughts impure;
Thinking on Thy bitter pains,
Hushed in prayer my heart remains.
2. Thy blest cross hath pow'r to heal
All the wounds of sin and strife.
Lost in Thee, my heart doth feel
Sudden warmth and nobler life,
In my saddest, darkest grief,
Let Thy sweetness bring relief.
Thou who camest but to save,
Thou who fearest not the grave!
3. Lord, in Thee I place my trust,
Thou art my Defense and Tow'r;
Death Thou treadest in the dust,
O'er my soul he hath no pow'r.
That I may have part in Thee,
Help and save and comfort me;
Give me of Thy grace and might,
Resurrection, life and light.
4. Fount of good, within me dwell,
For the peace Thy presence sheds
Keeps us safe in conflict fell,
Stills the pain from dying beds.
Hide me safe within Thine arm,
Where no foe can hurt or harm;
Whoso, Lord, in Thee doth rest,
He hath conquered, he is blest.

On the Passion
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XLIII (1791) Topics: Passion of Christ First Line: Come, all ye Chosen Saints of God Lyrics: 1 Come, all ye Chosen Saints of God,
That long to feel the cleansing Blood,
In pensive Pleasure join with me,
To sing of sad Gethsemane.
2 Gethsemane the Olive Press!
(And why so call'd, let Christians guess)
Fit Name! Fit Place! Where Vengeance strove,
And grip'd and grappled hard with Love.
3 'Twas here the Lord of Life appear'd,
And sigh'd, and groan'd, and pray'd and fear'd;
Bore all incarnate God could bear,
With Strength enough--and none to spare.
4 The Pow'rs of hell united press'd,
And squeez'd his Heart, and bruiz'd his Breast.
What dreadful Conflicts rag'd within,
When Sweat and Blood forc'd thro the Skin!
5 Dispatch'd from Heaven an Angel stood,
Amaz'd to find him bath'd in Blood;
Ador'd by Angels, and obey'd;
But lower now than Angels made.
6 He stood to strengthen, not to fight;
Justice exacts its utmost Mite.
This Victim Vengeance will pursue;
He undertook, and must go through.
7 Three favor'd Servants left not far,
Were bid to wait and watch the War.
But Christ withdrawn, what Watch to keep!
To shun the Sight, they sunk in Sleep.
8 Backwards and forwards thrice he ran,
As if he sought some Help from Man;
Or wish'd at least they would condole
('Twas all they could) his tortur'd Soul.
9 Whate'er he sought for, there was none;
Our Captain fought the Field alone;
'Soon as the Chief to Battle led,
That Moment ev'ry Soldier fled.
10 Mysterious Conflict! Dark Disguise!
Hid from all Creature's piercing Eyes.
Angels astonish'd view'd the Scene,
And wonder yet what all could mean.
11 Oh, Mount of Olives! sacred Grove!
Oh, Garden, Scene of tragic Love!
What bitter Herbs thy Beds produce!
How rank their Scent! How harsh their Juice!
12 Rare Virtues now those Herbs contain:
The Sav'our suck'd out all their Bane.
My Mouth with these if Conscience cram,
I'll eat them with the Paschal Lamb.
13 Oh, Kedron, gloomy Brook, how foul
Thy black polluted Waters roll!
No Tongue can tell (but some can taste)
The Filth that into thee was cast.
14 In Eden's Garden, there was Food
Of ev'ry kind for Man, while good;
But banish'd thence, we fly to Thee,
O Garden of Gethsemane.

On the Passion
O sacred Head! now wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt; James W. Alexander; Bernard of Clairvaux Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #243a (1899) Topics: Christ Passion of Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head! now wounded,
With grief and shame bowed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head! what glory,
What bliss. till now, was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine.
2 How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn;
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
Was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
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!
4 Forbid that I should leave Thee;
O Jesus, leave not me;
By faith I would receive Thee;
Thy blood can make me free;
When strength and comfort languish,
And I must hence depart,
Release me then from anguish,
By Thine own wounded heart.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

Jesus, I Will Ponder Now

On Thy holy Passion;
With Thy Spirit me endow
For such meditation.
Grant that I in love and faith
May the image cherish
Of Thy suff'ring, pain, and death,
That I may not perish.
2 Make me see Thy great distress,
Anguish, and affliction,
Bonds and stripes and wretchedness
And Thy crucifixion;
Make me see how scourge and rod,
Spear and nails, did wound Thee,
How for man Thou diedst, O God,
Who with thorns had crowned Thee.
3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone
Make me see Thy Passion,
But its cause to me make known
And its termination.
Ah! I also and my sin
Wrought Thy deep affliction;
This indeed the cause hath been
Of Thy crucifixion.
4 Grant that I Thy Passion view
With repentant grieving
Nor Thee crucify anew
By unholy living.
How could I refuse to shun
Ev'ry sinful pleasure
Since for me God's only Son
Suffered without measure?
5 If my sins give me alarm
And my conscience grieve me,
Let Thy cross my fear disarm,
Peace of conscience give me.
Grant that I may trust in Thee
And Thy holy Passion.
If His Son so loveth me,
God must have compassion.
6 Grant that I may willingly
Bear with Thee my crosses,
Learning humbleness of Thee,
Peace mid pain and losses.
May I give Thee love for love!
Hear me, O my Savior,
That I may in heav'n above
Sing Thy praise forever.

Godly sorrow arising from the Sufferings of Christ
Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #IV (1791) Topics: Passion of Christ First Line: Alas! and did my Saviour bleed! Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed!
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would he devote that sacred Head
For such a Worm as I?
[2 Thy Body slain sweet Jesus thine,
And bath'd in its own Blood,
While all expos'd to Wrath divine
The glorious Suff'rer stood!]
3 Was it for Crimes that I had done
He groan'd upon the Tree?
Amazing Pity! Grace unknown!
And Love beyond degree!
4 Well might the Sun in Darkness hide,
And shut his Glories in,
When GOD the Mighty Maker, dy'd
For Man the Creature's sin.
5 Thus might I hide my blushing Face,
While his dear Cross appears;
Dissolve my Heart in Thankfulness,
And melt my Eyes to Tears.
6 But Drops of grief can ne'er repay
The Debt of Love we owe;
Here, Lord, I give my self away;
'Tis all that I can do. Languages: English

Our Hearts no more repine;

The bleeding Prince of Love;
Each of us Hope, he dy'd for me,
And then our Griefs remove.
[3 Our humble Faith here takes her rise,
While sitting round his Board;
And back to Calvary she flies,
To view her groaning Lord.
4 His Soul, what Agonies it felt
When his own God withdrew;
And the large Load of all our Guilt
Lay heavy on him too.
5 But the Divinity within
Supported him to bear:
Dying, he conquer'd Hell and sin,
And made his Triumph there.]
6 Grace, Wisdom, Justice, join'd and wrought
The Wonders of that Day!
No Mortal Tongue, nor Mortal Thought,
Can equal Thanks repay.

Could we our voices raise;

Christ, by whose all-saving Light
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #24 (1732) Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: I. Christ, by whose all-saving Light
Mankind benefitted,
Was for Sinners in the Night
As a Thief committed.
Dragg'd before a wicked court
Of the Jewish Clergy;
Where they try'd their worst Effort
'Gainst the Lord of Mercy.
II. Sentenc'd early by this Crew,
As the worst of Sinners,
Came to Pilate, who foreknew
This Tumult's Beginners:
Though he judg'd him innocent
Of their Accusation,
Yet to Herod he was sent
For his Arbitration.
III. Then his holy Flesh was torn
with inhuman Lashes,
And his blessed Head in Scorn
Crown'd of sinful Ashes:
Cloathed in a Purple Dress,
Mock'd, and beat, and bruised;
Thus the Source of Holiness
Was by Sin misused.
IV. Then at Noon the Son of God
To the Cross was nailed,
Where his fervent Prayer and Blood
For our Sins prevailed:
The Spectators shook their Head
Had him in Derision,
Till the Sun-light mourning fled
From so sad a Vision.
V. When at Three they heard him call:
Why am I forsaken;
Stait was Vinegar mix'd with Gall
Offer'd, but not taken:
Then to God his Spirit sent,
Shaking th' Earth with Wonder,
Gave the Vail a thorough Rent,
Cleft the Rocks asunder.
VI. At th' approaching Evening Tide,
Criminals Bones were broken;
But the Spear pierc'd Jesus Side,
For a lasting Token:
Which pour'd forth a double Flood
Of a cleansing Nature,
Both the Water and the Blood
Wash the guilty Creature.
VII. Joseph, when the Eve was come,
Took his dearest Master,
Laid him in his Stately Tomb,
Hewn in Alablaster;
Nicodem, now void of Fear,
Brought the richest Spices;
Thus these holy Men paid here
Their last Sacrifices.
VIII. Grant, O Jesu, blessod Lord,
By thy Cross and Passion,
Thy blest Love may be ador'd
By the whole Creation:
Hating Sin, and woful Cause
Of thy Death and Suff'ring,
Give our Heart t'obey thy Laws,
As the best Thanks-offering.

When Guilt and Shame are raising
Hymnal: Psalmodia Germanica #34 (1732) Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: I. When Guilt and Same are raising
A Storm within my Soul,
Thy Death, Lord! so amazing,
Sin's damning Pow'r controul.
Remind me, that thy Sacred Blood
Has cancell'd my Transgressions,
By paying what I ow'd.
II. O Wonder, far exceeding
All human Pow'r and Sense!
Heav'n's Sov'reign was seen bleeding,
To wipe off our Offence.
The Source of Life gave up his Breath
For me, whose vile Rebellion
Deserv'd an endless Death.
III. Tho' Sin exceeds a Mountain
Of all the Sandy Shore;
Yet th'everlasting Fountain
Of Christ's own purple Gore
Quite drowns and washes them away
And saves me from the Terrour
That held me in Dismay.
IV. My Heart, while here 'tis moving,
Shall beat with fervent Praise
To Thee, who wert so loving
Towards our ruin'd Race:
Thy Dying Words and ev'ry Groan
Shall be my Meditation,
'Till I am all thy own.
V. Lord! let thy bitter Passion
Dwell always in my Mind,
To raise an Indignation
'Gainst Sin of ev'ry Kind,
That henceforth I may ne'er forget
The Greatness of my Ransom,
Which paid an endless Debt.
VI. All Pains and Tribulations,
Contempt and Worldly Spite,
Help me to bear with Patience,
And always fix my Sight
On that unerring Rule of Faith,
Thy blessed Imitation,
And self-denying Path.
VII. Oh! may my Life and Labour
Express what thou hast done;
By Loving well my Neighbour
And serving Ev'ry one
Without Self-Int'rest of Disguise,
And may thy pure Example
Be my best Exercise.
VIII. And oh! apply the Merit
And Comfort of thy Blood,
When I give up my Spirit
To Thee my Judge and God.
Then let my Hope its Pow'r display,
And rest upon thy Promise,
To save me in that Day.

Safely hid beneath Thy wing;

Springing deep within my heart,

Not a foe can injure me;

O Bleeding Head, and wounded
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #201 (1918) Meter: 7.6.8.1 Topics: Passion of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Bleeding Head, and wounded,
And full of pain and scorn,
In mockery surrounded
With cruel crown of thorn!
O Head! once crowned with glory
And heavenly majesty,
But now despised and gory;
Yet here I welcome Thee!
2 Men spit upon and jeer Thee,
Thou noble countenance,
Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee,
And flee before Thy glance!
How art Thou pale with anguish,
With sore abuse and scorn!
How does Thy visage languish
Which once was bright as morn!
3 Now from Thy cheeks has vanished
Their color once so fair;
From Thy red lips is banished
The splendor that was there.
Pale Death with cruel rigor
Bereaveth Thee of life;
Thus losest Thou Thy vigor
And strength in this sad strife.
4 My burden, in Thy passion,
Lord, Thou hast borne for me,
For it was my transgression
Which brought this woe on Thee.
I cast me down before Thee,
Wrath were my rightful lot,
Have mercy, I implore Thee,
Redeemer, spurn me not!
5 My Shepherd, now receive me!
My Guardian, own me Thine!
Great blessings Thou didst give me,
O Source of gifts divine!
Thy lips have often fed me
With milk and sweetest food;
Thy Spirit oft has led me
To stores of heavenly good.
6 Here I will stand beside Thee,
From Thee I will not part;
O Savior, do not chide me!
When breaks Thy loving heart,
When soul and body languish
In death's last fatal grasp,
Then, in Thy deepest anguish,
Thee in mine arms I’ll clasp.
7 Naught ever so much blesses,
So much rejoices me,
As when in Thy distresses
I take a part with Thee.
Ah, well for me, if lying
Here at Thy feet, my life,
I too with Thee were dying,
And thus might end my strife!
8 Thanks from my heart I offer
Thee, Jesus, dearest Friend,
For all that Thou didst suffer;
My good didst Thou intend.
Ah! grant that I may ever
To Thy truth faithful be;
When soul and body sever,
May I be found in Thee!
9 When hence I must betake me,
Lord, do not Thou depart!
O nevermore forsake me,
When death is at my heart!
When soul and body languish,
O leave me not alone,
But take away mine anguish,
By virtue of Thine own!
10 Be Thou my Consolation
And Shield when I must die;
Remind me of Thy passion,
When my last hour draws nigh.
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee,
Upon Thy cross shall dwell,
My heart by faith enfold Thee.
Who dieth thus, dies well! Languages: English
