When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,996 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ; Christ Cross of; Christ Passion; Christ Sacrifice; Cross of Christ; Passion; Sacrifice; liturgical Communion Songs First Line: When I survey the wondrous cross (Watts) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast save in the death of Christ, my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them through his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut its glories in, when God, the mighty maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do. United Methodist Hymnal, 1989

Awake, my soul, and sing Of him who set us free, And hail him as your heav'nly King Through all eternity. 2 Crown him the Lord of life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those he came to save. His glories now we sing Who died and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. 3 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. 4 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 flow'rs of Paradise extend Their fragrance ever sweet. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, The risen Lord sublime, Creator of the rolling spheres, The Master of all time. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For you have died for me; Your praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity. Scripture: Psalm 46:9 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Sey mir tausendmal gegrüsset

Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Passion Songs Lyrics: 1 Sey mir tausendmal gegrüsset, Der mich je und je geliebt, Jesu, der du selbst gebüsset Das, womit ich dich betrübt. Ach! wie ist mir dann so wohl, Wenn ich kni'n und liegen soll An dem creutze, da du stirbest, Und um meine seele wirbest. 2 Ich umfange, herz und küsse Der gekränkten wundenzahl, Und die purpur-rothen flüsse, Deine füß' und nägelmal. O wer kann dich, Lebens-fürst! Den so hoch nach uns gedürst, Deinen durst und liebs-verlangen Völlig fassen und umfangen. 3 Heile mich, o arzt der seelen! Der ich krank und traurig bin; Nimm die schmerzen, die mich quälen, Und den ganzen schaden hin, Den mir Adams fall gebracht, Und ich selbsten mir gemacht: Wird, o Herr! dein blut mich netzen, Dann wird sich mein jammer setzen. 4 Schreibe deine blut'ge wunden Mir, Herr, in das herz hinein, Daß sie mögen alle stunden Bey mir unvergessen seyn. Du bist doch mein liebstes gut, Da mein ganzes herze ruht: Laß mich hier zu deinen füssen, Deiner lieb und gunst geniessen. 5 Diese füsse will ich halten, Herr, so gut ich immer kan; Schaue meiner hände falten, Und mich selbsten freundlich an, Von dem hohen creutzes-baum, Und gib meiner bitte raum, Sprich: laß all dein trauren schwinden, Ich, ich tilge deine sünden.
