Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross
Author: Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #335 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain Topics: Holy Cross Day; Holy Cross Day Refrain First Line: In the cross, in the cross Lyrics: 1 Jesus, keep me near the cross,
there's a precious fountain;
free to all, a healing stream
flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross
be my glory ever;
till my ransomed soul shall find
rest beyond the river.
2 Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me. [Refrain]
3 Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day
with its shadow o'er me. [Refrain]
4 Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
till I reach the golden strand
just beyond the river. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: NEAR THE CROSS

Sing, My Tongue
Author: Venantius Honorius fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #355 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Holy Cross Day; Holy Cross Day First Line: Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle;
tell the triumph far and wide;
tell aloud the wondrous story
of the cross, the Crucified;
tell how Christ, the world's redeemer,
vanquished death the day he died.
2 God in mercy saw us fallen,
sunk in shame and misery,
felled to death in Eden's garden,
where in pride we claimed the tree;
then another tree was chosen,
which the world from death would free.
3 Tell how, when at length the fullness
of the appointed time was come,
Christ, the Word, was born of woman,
left for us the heav'nly home,
blazed the path of true obedience,
shone as light amidst the gloom.
4 Thirty years among us dwelling,
Jesus went from Nazareth,
destined, dedicated, willing,
did his work, and met his death;
like a lamb he humbly yielded
on the cross his dying breath.
5 Bend your boughs, O tree of glory,
your relaxing sinews bend;
for a while the ancient rigor
that your birth bestowed, suspend;
and the Lord of heav'nly beauty
gently on your arms extend.
6 Faithful cross, true sign of triumph,
be for all the noblest tree;
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit your equal be;
symbol of the world's redemption,
for your burden makes us free.
7 Unto God be praise and glory;
to the Father and the Son,
to the eternal Spirit honor
now and evermore be done;
praise and glory in the highest,
while the timeless ages run.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PANGE LINGUA

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Worship #803 (2006) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Cross Day; Holy Cross Day 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.

save in the death of Christ, my God;
all the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to 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. Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Sing the ending of the fray.
Now above the cross, the trophy,
Sound the loud triumphant lay:

Left for us his Father's home,
Blazed the path of true obedience,
Shone as light amidst the gloom.

He went forth from Nazareth,
Destined, dedicated, willing,
Did his work, and met his death;
Like a lamb he humbly yielded
On the cross his dying breath.

Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #427 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: Holy Cross Day Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory,
Tow'ring o'er the wrecks of time.

Gathers round its head sublime.

Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me;
Lo, it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure
By the Cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

The royal banners forward go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #79 (1986) Topics: Holy Cross Day September 14th Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go,
The Cross shines forth in mystic glow,
Where he in flesh, our flesh who made,
Our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
2 Where deep for us the spear was dyed,
Life's torrent rushing from his side,
To wash us in that precious flood,
Where mingled water flowed, and blood.
3 Fulfilled is all that David told
In true prophetic song of old,
The universal Lord is he,
Who reigns and triumphs from the tree.
4 O Tree of beauty, Tree of light,
O Tree with royal purple dight,
Elect on whose triumphal breast
Those holy limbs should find their rest!
5 On whose dear arms, so widely flung,
The weight of this world's ransom hung,
The price of humankind to pay
And spoil the spoiler of his prey.
6 O Cross, our one reliance, hail!
So may thy power with us prevail
To give new virtue to the saint,
And pardon to the penitent.
7 To thee, eternal Three in One,
Let homage meet by all be done:
Whom by thy Cross thou dost restore,
Preserve and govern evermore. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 96:10 Languages: English Tune Title: VEXILLA REGIS

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Hymnal: Lutheran Worship #118 (1982) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Cross Day Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
Of him who died upon the cross.
The sinner's hope let all deride;
For this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
In shining letters, "God is love."
He bears our sins upon the tree;
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! It takes our guilt away;
It holds the fainting spirit up;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day
And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup.
4 It makes the coward spirit brave
And nerves the feeble arm for fight;
It takes the terror from the grave
And gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The angels' theme in heav'n above.
