O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

With grief and shame weighed 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 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain:
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour!
'Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to Thee.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 53:5 Tune Title: PASSION CHORALE

Utter helplessness
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #220 (1890) Topics: The Gospel: Atonement Needed; Atonement Necessary; Atonement Necessary First Line: Not all the outward forms on earth Lyrics: 1 Nor all the outward forms on earth,
Nor rites that God has given,
Nor will of man, nor blood, nor birth,
Can raise a soul to heaven.

Creates us heirs of grace;

A new, peculiar race.
3 The Spirit, like some heavenly wind,
Breathes on the sons of flesh,
New-models all the carnal mind,
And forms the man afresh.
4 Our quickened souls awake and rise
From the long sleep of death;
On heavenly things we fix our eyes,
And praise employs our breath.

His conquering love consent to feel;
Yield to His love's resistless power,
And fight against your God no more. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry:
Thy pardoning grace is rich and free:

With deep and conscious guilt oppressed;

O God, be merciful to me!

Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me!

With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
God hath been merciful to me! Languages: English

Without blood is no remission
Author: Kelly Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #385 (1873) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Christian System Atonement; Atonement Lyrics: 1 Without blood is no remission;
Thus the law proclaims from heaven;
Blood must flow--on this condition,
This alone, is sin forgiven:
Yes, a victim must be slain,
Else all hope of life is vain.
2 But the victim--who shall find it?
Such a one as sinners need?
To the altar who shall bind it?
Who shall make the victim bleed?
Questions these of anxious thought,
Till the word of God is bright.
3 God himself provides the Victim--
Jesus is the Lamb of God;
Heaven and earth and hell afflict him,
While he bears the sinner's load:
'Tis his blood, and that alone,
Can for human guilt atone.
Without blood is no remission
'Tis finished! the Messiah dies
Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #387 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Atonement Completed Lyrics: 1 'Tis finished! the Messiah dies—
Cut off for sins, but not his own;
Accomplished is the sacrifice,—
The great redeeming work is done.
2 The vail is rent; in him alone
The living way to heaven is seen;
The middle wall is broken down,
And all mankind may enter in.
3 The types and figures are fulfilled;
Exacted is the legal pain;
The precious promises are sealed;
The spotless Lamb of God is slain.
4 Death, hell, and sin are now subdued;
All grace is now to sinners given;
And, lo! I plead th' atoning blood,
And in thy right I claim my heaven. Scripture: Daniel 9:26

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #402a (1899) Topics: Atonement Necessary; Atonement Sufficient Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy riven side that flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me, Lord, and make me pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil 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 Thy 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 mine eyelids 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!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: TOPLADY

'Tis the Most Blessed and Needful Part
Author: Christian Renatus von Zinzendorf; Christian Gregor; Philip Heinrich Molthar Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #768 (1995) Topics: Atonement; Christ--Atonement Lyrics: 1 ‘Tis the most blessed and needful part
to have in Christ a share,
and to commit our way and heart
unto his faithful care;
this done, our steps are safe and sure,
our hearts’ desires are rendered pure,
and naught can pluck us from his hand,
which lead us to the end.
2 Naught in this world affords true rest
but Christ’s atoning blood.
This purifies the guilty breast,
and reconciles to God.
Hence flows unfeigned love to him
who came lost sinners to redeem,
and Christ our Savior now appears
daily to us more dear.
3 My lasting joy and comfort here
is Jesus’ death and blood;
I with this passport can appear
before the throne of God.
Admitted to the realms above,
I then shall see the Christ I love,
where countless pardoned sinners meet
adoring at his feet. Scripture: John 10:27-29 Languages: English Tune Title: WORSHIP

My beauty are, my glorious dress:
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in thy great day,--
For who aught to my charge shall lay
Fully absolved through these I am--
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,
Who from the Father's bosom came,--
Who died for me, e'en me t' atone,--
Now for my Lord and God I own.
4 Lord, I believe thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy-seat of God,
For ever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e'en for my soul, was shed.
5 Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hadst for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made. Scripture: Psalm 71:15-16
