Psalm 22
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 112 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:1 First Line: Now let our mournful songs record Lyrics:
Now let our mournful songs record
The dying sorrows of our Lord,
When he complained in tears and blood,
As one forsaken of his God.
The Jews beheld him thus forlorn,
And shake their heads, and laugh in scorn:
"He rescued others from the grave;
Now let him try himself to save.
"This is the man did once pretend
God was his Father and his Friend;
If God, the blessed, loved him so,
Why doth he fail to help him now?"
Barbarous people! cruel priests!
How they stood round like savage beasts!
Like lions gaping to devour,
When God had left him in their power.
They wound his head, his hands, his feet,
Till streams of blood each other meet;
By lot his garments they divide,
And mock the pangs in which he died.
But God, his Father, heard his cry;
Raised from the dead, he reigns on high,
The nations learn his righteousness,
And humble sinners taste his grace.

Psalm 22 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:20-21 First Line: Now from the roaring lion's rage Lyrics:
"Now from the roaring lion's rage,
O Lord, protect thy Son,
Nor leave thy darling to engage
The powers of hell alone."
Thus did our suff'ring Savior pray,
With mighty cries and tears;
God heard him in that dreadful day,
And chased away his fears.
Great was the vict'ry of his death,
His throne exalted high;
And all the kindreds of the earth
Shall worship or shall die.
A num'rous offspring must arise
From his expiring groans;
They shall be reckoned in his eyes
For daughters and for sons.
The meek and humble souls shall see
His table richly spread;
And all that seek the Lord shall be
With joys immortal fed.
The isles shall know the righteousness
Of our incarnate God,
And nations yet unborn profess
Salvation in his blood.

Psalm 22 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:1-16 First Line: Why has my God my soul forsook Lyrics:
Why has my God my soul forsook,
Nor will a smile afford?
(Thus David once in anguish spoke,
And thus our dying Lord.)
Though 'tis thy chief delight to dwell
Among thy praising saints,
Yet thou canst hear a groan as well,
And pity our complaints.
Our fathers trusted in thy name,
And great deliv'rance found;
But I'm a worm, despised of men,
And trodden to the ground.
Shaking the head, they pass me by,
And laugh my soul to scorn;
"In vain he trusts in God," they cry,.
"Neglected and forlorn."
But thou art he who formed my flesh
By thine almighty word;
And since I hung upon the breast,
My hope is in the Lord.
Why will my Father hide his face,
When foes stand threat'ning round,
In the dark hour of deep distress,
And not a helper found?
Behold thy darling left among
The cruel and the proud,
As bulls of Bashan, fierce and strong,
As lions roaring loud.
From earth and hell my sorrows meet
To multiply the smart;
They nail my hands, they pierce my feet,
And try to vex my heart.
Yet if thy sovereign hand let loose
The rage of earth and hell,
Why will my heav'nly Father bruise
The Son he loves so well?
My God, if possible it be,
Withhold this bitter cup
But I resign my will to thee,
And drink the sorrows up.
My heart dissolves with pangs unknown,
In groans I waste my breath;
Thy heavy hand has brought me down
Low as the dust of death.
Father, I give my spirit up,
And trust it in thy hand;
My dying flesh shall rest in hope,
And rise at thy command.

Nailed to the shameful tree!
How vast the love that him inclined
To bleed and die for me.
2 Hark! how he groans, while nature shakes,
And earth's strong pillars bend!
The temple's veil asunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.
3 'Tis finished! now the ransom's paid;
Receive my soul! he cries:
See, how he bows his sacred head!
He bows his head, and dies!

And in full glory shine;

Was ever love like thine? Topics: Christ Sufferings and Death; Pitying Love

Holy and pure is God alone.

My God, my God, why leav'st thou me
Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, why leav'st thou me,
when I with Anguish faint?
O, why so far from me remov'd,
and from my loud Complaint?
2 All Day, but all the day unheard,
to Thee do I complain;
With Cries implore Relief all Night,
but cry all Night in vain.
3 Yet Thou are still the righteous Judge
of Innocence oppress'd;
And therefore Israel's Praises are
of Right to Thee address'd.
4, 5 On Thee our Ancestors rely'd,
and thy Deliv'rance found;
With pious Confidence they pray'd,
and with Success were crown'd.
6 But I am treated like a Worm,
like none of human Birth:
Not only by the Great revil'd,
but made the Rabble's Mirth.
7 With Laughter all the gazing Crowd
my Agonies survey;
They shoot the Lip, they shake the Head,
and thus, deriding say:
8 "In God he trusted, boasting oft,
"that he was Heav'n's Delight;
"Let God come down to save him now,
"and own his Favourite."
Part II
9 Thou mad'st my teeming Mother's Womb
a living Offspring bear;
When but a Suckling at the Breast,
I was thy early Care.
10 Thou, Guardian-like, didst shield from Wrongs
my helpless Infant Days;
And since hast been my God, and Guide,
through Life's bewilder'd Ways.
11 Withdraw not then so far from me,
when Trouble is so nigh;
O, send me Help! thy Help, on which
I only can rely.
12 High-pamper'd Bulls, a frowning Herd,
from Basan's Forest met,
With Strength proporion'd to their Rage,
have me around beset.
13 They gape on me, and ev'ry Mouth
a yawning Grave appears;
The desert Lion's savage Roar
less dreadful is than theirs.
Part III
14 My Blood, like Water's spill'd, my Joints
are rack'd, and out of Frame;
My Heart dissolves within my Breast,
like Wax before the Flame.
15 My Strength, like Potters Earth, is parch'd';
my Tongue cleaves to my Jaws;
And to the silent Shades of Death
my fainting soul withdraws.
16 Like Blood-hounds, to surround me, they
in pack'd Assemblies meet;
They pierc'd my inoffensive Hands,
they pierc'd my harmless Feet.
17 My Body's rack'd, till all my bones
distinctly may be told:
Yet such a Spectacle of Woe,
as Pastime they behold.
18 As Spoil, my Garments they divide,
Lots for my Vesture cast:
19 Therefore approach, o Lord, my Strength;
and to my Succour haste.
20 From their sharp Sword protect thou me,
of all but Life bereft!
Nor let my Darling in the Pow'r
of cruel Dogs be left.
21 To save me from the Lion's Jaws,
thy perfect Succour send;
As once, from goring Unicorns,
thou didst my Life defend.
22 Then to my Brethren I'll declare
the Triumphs of thy name;
In Presence of assembled Saints,
thy Glory thus proclaim:
23 "Ye Worshippers of Jacob's God,
"all you of Israel's Line,
"O praise the Lord, and to your Praise
sincere Obedience join.
24 "He ne'er disdain'd on low Distress
"to cast a gracious Eye;
"Nor turn'd from Poverty His Face,
"but hears its humble Cry."
Part IV
25 Thus in thy sacred Courts, will I
my chearful Thanks express;
In Presence of thy Saints perform
the Vows of my Distress.
26 The meek Companions of my Grief
shall find my Table spread;
And all that seek the Lord, shall be
with Joys immortal fed.
27 Then shall the glad converted World
to God their Homage pay;
And scatter'd Nations of the Earth
one Sov'reign Lord obey.
28 'Tis His supreme Prerogative
o'er subject Kings to reign:
'Tis just that he should rule the World,
who does the World sustain.
29 The Rich, who are with plenty fed,
His Bounty must confess:
The Sons of Want, by Him relieve'd,
their gen'rous Patron bless.
With humble Worship to his Throne
they all for Aid resort;
That Pow'r which first their Beings gave,
can only them support.
30, 31 Then shall a chosen spotless Race,
devoted to His Name,
To their admiring Heirs, His Truth
and glorious Acts proclaim.
My God, my God, why leav'st thou me

Psalm of Hope
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 Lyrics: My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me:
why art thou so far from helping me and from the words of my roaring?
O my God, I cry in the day time but thou hearest not:
and in the night season and am not silent.
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel, our fathers trusted in thee:
they trusted and thou didst deliver them.
They cried unto thee, and were delivered:
they trusted in thee and were not confounded.
But I am a worm, and no man:
a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
All they that see me laugh me to scorn:
they shoot out the lip, they shake the head saying,
He trusted on the Lord that he would deliver him:
let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
But thou art he that took me out of the womb:
thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
Be not far from me for trouble is near:
for there is none to help.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws:
and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
For dogs have compassed me:
the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me, they pierced my hands and my feet.
I may tell all my bones:
they look and stare upon me.
They part my garments among them:
and cast lots upon my vesture.
But be not thou far from me, O Lord:
O my strength, haste thee to help me.
I will declare thy name unto my brethren:
in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him:
all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him and fear him all ye the seed of Israel.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted:
neither hath he hid his face from him, but when he cried unto him, he heard.
All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord:
and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
A seed shall serve him:
it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born:
that he hath done this.
(Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.) Topics: Christian Year Good Friday Used With Tune: [My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me]

Crown Him with Many Crowns
Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 796 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22:16 Lyrics: 1 Crown him with many crowns,
the Lamb upon his throne;
hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
rich wounds, yet visible above,
in beauty glorified:
no angel in the sky
can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends his burning eye
at mysteries so bright.
3 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a scepter sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
4 Crown him the Lord of years,
the potentate of time;
creator of the rolling spheres,
ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Psalm 22: My God, my God, why hast thou me
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: My God, my God, why hast thou me Lyrics:
1My God, my God, why hast thou me
forsaken? why so far
Art thou from helping me, and from
my words that roaring are?
2All day, my God, to thee I cry,
yet am not heard by thee;
And in the season of the night
I cannot silent be.
3But thou art holy, thou that dost
inhabit Isr’el’s praise.
4Our fathers hop’d in thee, they hop’d
and thou didst them release.
5When unto thee they sent their cry,
to them deliv’rance came:
Because they put their trust in thee,
they were not put to shame.
6But as for me, a worm I am,
and as no man am priz’d:
Reproach of men I am, and by
the people am despis’d.
7All that me see laugh me to scorn;
shoot out the lip do they;
They nod and shake their heads at me,
and, mocking, thus do say,
8This man did trust in God, that he
would free him by his might:
Let him deliver him, sith he
had in him such delight.
9But thou art he out of the womb
that didst me safely take;
When I was on my mother’s breasts
thou me to hope didst make.
10And I was cast upon thy care,
ev’n from the womb till now;
And from my mother’s belly, Lord,
my God and guide art thou.
11Be not far off, for grief is near,
and none to help is found.
12Bulls many compass me, strong bulls
of Bashan me surround.
13Their mouths they open’d wide on me,
upon me gape did they,
Like to a lion ravening
and roaring for his prey.
14Like water I’m pour’d out, my bones
all out of joint do part:
Amidst my bowels, as the wax,
so melted is my heart.
15My strength is like a potsherd dry’d;
my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
of death thou brought me hast.
16For dogs have compass’d me about:
the wicked, that did meet
In their assembly, me inclos’d;
they pierc’d my hands and feet.
17I all my bones may tell; they do
upon me look and stare.
18Upon my vesture lots they cast,
and clothes among them share.
19But be not far, O Lord, my strength;
haste to give help to me.
20From sword my soul, from pow’r of dogs
my darling set thou free.
21Out of the roaring lion’s mouth
do thou me shield and save:
For from the horns of unicorns
an ear to me thou gave.
22I will shew forth thy name unto
those that my brethren are;
Amidst the congregation
thy praise I will declare.
23Praise ye the Lord, who do him fear;
him glorify all ye
The seed of Jacob: fear him all
that Isr’el’s children be.
24For he despis’d not nor abhorr’d
th’ afflicted’s misery;
Nor from him hid his face, but heard
when he to him did cry.
25Within the congregation great
my praise shall be of thee;
My vows before them that him fear
shall be perform’d by me.
26The meek shall eat, and shall be fill’d;
they also praise shall give
Unto the Lord that do him seek:
your heart shall ever live.
27All ends of th’ earth remember shall,
and turn the Lord unto;
All kindreds of the nations
to him shall homage do:
28Because the kingdom to the Lord
doth appertain as his;
Likewise among the nations
the Governor he is.
29Earth’s fat ones eat, and worship shall:
all who to dust descend
Shall bow to him; none of them can
his soul from death defend.
30A seed shall service do to him;
unto the Lord it shall
Be for a generation
reckon’d in ages all.
31They shall come, and they shall declare
his truth and righteousness
Unto a people yet unborn,
and that he hath done this.

Deus, Deus meus
Author: T. S. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: O God my God, wherefore dost thou Lyrics: 1 O God my God, wherefore dost thou
forsake me utterly?
And helpest not when I do make
my great complaint and cry?
2 To thee, my God even all day long
I do both cry and call:
I cease not all the night, and yet
thou hearest not at ail.
3 Even thou that in thy Sanctuary,
and holy place dost dwell:
Thou art the comfort and the joy,
and glory of Israel.
4 And him in whom our fathers old
had all their hope for ever:
And when they put their trust in thee,
Thou didst them aye deliver.
5 They were delivered ever when
they called on thy Name;
And for the faith they had in thee,
they were not put to shame.
6 But I am now become a worm,
more like than any man:
An out-cast whom the people scorn
with all the spite they can.
7 All men despise as they behold
me walking on the way:
They grin, they mow, and nod their heads,
and on this wise they say,
8 This man did glory in the Lord,
his favour and his love:
Let him redeeme and help him now,
his power if he will prove.
9 But Lord out of my mothers wombe,
I came by thy behest:
Thou didst preserve me still in hope,
while I did suck the brest.
10 I was committed from my birth,
with thee to have abode:
Since I was in my mothers wombe,
thou hast been ere my God.
The second Part:
11 Then, Lord, depart not now from me,
in this my present grief:
Since I have none to be my help,
my succour and reliefe.
12 So many buls do compasse me,
that be full strong of head:
Yea, buls so fat, as though they had
in Basan field been fed.
13 They gape upon me greedily,
as though they would me slay:
Much like a Lion roaring out,
and ramping for his prey.
14 But I drop downe like water shed,
my joynts in sunder break:
My heart doth in my body melt,
like waxe against the heat.
15 And like a potsherd dri'th my strength,
my tongue it cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws, and I am brought
to dust of death at last.
16 And many dogs do compasse me,
and wicked counsell eke
Conspire against me cursedly,
they pierce my hands and feet.
17 I was tormented so that I
might all my bones have told:
Yet still upon me hey do look,
and still they me behold.
18 My garments they divided eke
in parts among them all:
And for my coat they did cast lots
to whom it should befall.
19 Therefore, I pray thee, be not farre
from me at my great need,:
But rather sith thou art my strength,
to help me Lord make speed.
20 And from the sword Lord save my soul
by thy might and thy power:
And keep my soule, thy darling deare,
from dogs that would devoure.
21 And from the Lion's mouth that would
me all in sunder shiver:
And from the hornes of Unicornes
Lord safely me deliver.
22 Then shall I to my brethren all
thy majesty record,
And in thy Church shall praise the Name
of thee the living Lord.
The Third Part:
23 All ye that feare him praise the Lord,
thou Jacob honour him:
And all ye seed of Israel,
with reverence worship him.
24 For he despiseth not the poore,
he turneth not away
His countenance when they do call,
but granteth to their crie.
25 Among the folk that feare the Lord,
I will therefore proclaime
Thy praise, and keep my promise made
for setting forth thy Name.
26 The poore shall eat and be suffic'd,
and those that do indeaver
To seek the Lord, shall praise his Name;
their hearts shall life for ever.
27 All coasts of th'earth shall praise the Lord
and turne to him for grace: grace;
The heathen folk shall worship him
before his blessed face.
28 The kingdome of the heathen folk
the Lord shall have therefore:
And he shall be their governour,
and King for evermore.
29 The rich men of his goodly gifts
shall feed and taste also:
And in his presence worship him,
and bow their knees full low.
30 And all that shall go down to dust,
of life by him shall tast:
My seed shall serve and praise the Lord,
while any world shall last.
31 My seed shall plainely shew to them
that shall be borne hereafter
His justice and his righteousnesse,
and all his works of wonder.

To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar. A Psalm of David
Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 22 First Line: My God, my God, wherefore hast thou Lyrics: 1 My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
Forsaken me? and why
Art thou so far from my help
And from words of my cry?
2 My God, I in the day time cry,
but me thou dost not hear;
Also by night and unto me
No quiet rest is there.
3 Nevertheless thou holy art,
Who constantly dost dwell,
Amongst the thankful praises of
Thy people Israel.
4 Our fathers heretofore in thee
Have put their confidence,
They trusted have, and thou to them
Didst give deliverance.
5 They unto thee did cry aloud,
And were preserved found,
In thee they put their confidence,
And nought did them confound.
6 But I a worm and not a man,
Of men a very scorn:
And I among the people am
Despised as forlorn.
7 All they that do upon me look,
A scoff at me do make;
They with contempt shoot out the lip,
The head in scorn they shake.
8 Upon the lord he roll'd himself,
Let him now rid him quite;
Let him deliver him, because
In him he doth delight.
9 But thou art he that me out of
The belly didst forth take:
When I was on my brother's breasts,
To hope thou didst me make.
10 I from the tender womb have been
Committed unto thee;
Yea from my mother's belly thou
Hast been a God to me.
[2]
11 Be not thou far away from me;
For tribulation
Approacheth very near at hand,
And helper there is none.
12 Great many bulls on ev'ry side
Have me encompassed;
The mighty bulls of Bashan have
Me round environed.
13 With their wide open'd mouths on me
They gaping so appear,
As if that each a ravening
And roaring lions were.
14 Like waters I am spilt, my bones
Disjointed are likewise;
Like unto melted wax my heart
Amidst my bowels lies.
15 My strength is like a potsherd dry'd,
And my tongue cleaveth fast
Unto my jaws; and to the dust
Of death brought me thou hast.
16 For dogs have compass'd me about,
Th' assembly me beset
Of wicked ones, they pierced through
My hands and eke my feet.
17 My bones I may then number all;
They look'd, they did me view.
18 My cloaths among them they did part;
Lots for my coat they threw.
19 But thou Lord be not far; my strength
Haste thou to succour me.
20 My soul from sword, my darling from
The pow'r of dogs set free.
21 Out of the lion's mouth also;
Oh, saved that I were!
For thou from horns of unicorns
Didst me vouchsafe to hear.
22 Thy name I will declare to them
That brethren are to me;
Amidst the congregation I
Will praises give to thee.
[3]
23 Ye that do fear the Lord, him praise,
All Jacob's seed do ye
Him glorify, and dread him all
Ye Isra'ls seed that be.
24 For he th' affliction of the poor
Loaths not, nor doth despise;
Nor hides his face from him, but hears
When unto him he cries.
25 Within the congregation great,
My praise is of thee still:
Before them that in reverence,
Perform my vows I will.
26 The meek shall eat and be suffic'd;
Jehovah praise shall they
That do him seek; your heart shall live
Unto perpetual aye.
27 All th' Ends of th' earth remember shall
And turn unto the Lord;
And thee all heathen families
To worship shall accord
28 Because unto Jehovah doth
The kingdom appertain;
Likewise among the nations he
Is ruler sovereign.
29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worship shall
All who to dust descend,
(Who cannot keep alive his soul)
Before his face shall bend.
30 With service a posterity
Him shall attend upon,
Which to the Lord shall counted be
A generation.
31 Come shall they, and his righteousness
By them declar'd shall be
Unto a people yet unborn,
That done this thing hath he.

Forsaken me? O why

2. O thou my God, I cry all Day,
But thou hast no Regard;
I am not silent in the Night,
And yet I am not heard.
3. But thou art holy, O thou God,
Who do'st great Pleasure take
To dwell, where thankful Isr'el praise,
And sacred Off'rings make.
4. On Thee, our Fathers firm rely'd;
And did Deliv'rance gain.
5. To Thee, they cry'd, and still were sav'd;
Their Trust was not in vain.
6. But I, a Worm, and not a Man,
So vilely am I priz'd;
Reproach'd by Men of greatest Name,
By vulgar ones despis'd.
7. The gazing Crowd laugh me to scorn,
Their Scoffs upon me play:
They gape, and mock, and shake their Heads,
And thus deriding say:
8. "He vainly trusted in the Lord,
"That he would take his Part;
"Now let him save him, if he be
"The Darling of his Heart.
9. Thou took'st me from my Mother's Womb,
Making my Birth thy Care;
When on my Mother's Breast I hung.
Thou did'st support me there.

When mine first spread abroad;
Thou, from my Infant-Days, hast been
My Guardian, and my God.

For none to help is found.

I5. My Strength, like Potter's Earth, is dry'd,

Base Crowds around me meet;
With unrelenting furious Rage,
They pierce my Hands, and Feet.
17. My starting Bones, may all be told;
They staring me review.
18. My Robes they parted, as a Prey,
Lots for my Vesture threw.
19. O Lord, my Strength, forsake me not;
But hast to succour me.
20. My Soul from Sword, my Darling from
The Pow'r of Dogs set free.
21. From the fierce Lyon's cruel Jaws
Deliv'rance to me send;
And from the Horns of th' Unicorn,
O hear, and me defend.
22. Then, to my Brethren, I'll declare
The Glories of thy Name;
Amid'st the Congregation great,
I will thy Praise proclaim.
Third Part
23. Ye Worshipers of God, him praise,
From Jacob who proceed;
Him glorify, and reverence him,

From the afflicted's Grief,
Nor hid his Face from him; but heard
His Cries, and sent Relief.
25. I'll shout thy Praise, when e'er the great
Assembly meets to pray;
Before his Saints, that fear his Name,
The Vows I've made, I'll pay.
26. The Poor shall eat, and be suffic'd,
And Thanks to God shall give :
They that uprightly seek him shall
In Joys immortal, live.
27. Earth's distant Ends shall recollect,
And turn unto the Lord;
All Kindreds of the Nations shall,
To worship Thee, accord.
28. For universal Monarchy,
To God alone, pertains;
He sov'rain Ruler, uncontrol'd.
O'er all the Nations reigns.
29. The Rich shall eat, and him adore;
And who in Dust ly low.
Who cannot keep alive his Soul,
Before his Face shall bow.
30. Then shall a chosen Seed him serve;
Which God for his will own,
31. To Men unborn, his Truth, he'll shew,
And Wonders he hath done.
My God, my God, wherefore hast thou
