O sacred head sore wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-76; Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; James Waddell Alexander, 1804-59 Hymnal: Together in Song #339 (1999) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: 1 O sacred head sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down;
O kingly head surrounded
with thorns your only crown;
death's shadows rise before you,
the glow of life decays;
yet hosts of heaven adore you
and tremble as they gaze.
2 What language shall I borrow
to praise you, heavenly friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Such agony and dying!
Such love to sinners free!
O Christ, all grace supplying,
turn now your face on me.
3 In this your bitter Passion,
good Shepherd, think of me,
look on me with compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath your cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in your dear love confiding,
and with your presence blessed.
4 Lord, be my consolation,
my shield when death is near;
remind me of your Passion,
be with me when I fear.
My eyes shall then behold you,
upon your cross shall dwell,
my heart by faith enfold you;
and who dies thus, dies well.

one and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be!
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron!
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle
glorious victory became,
and above the cross, his trophy,
tell the triumph and the fame,
tell how he, the world's Redeemer,
by his death for us o'ercame.
2 Thirty years among us dwelling,
his appointed time fulfilled,
born for this, he meets his Passion,
for that this he freely willed:
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
where his life-blood shall be spilled.
3 Thou alone wast counted worthy
this world's ransom to uphold;
for a shipwrecked race preparing
harbor, like the ark of old;
with the sacred blood anointed
from the smitten Lamb that rolled.
4 Unto God be laud and honor,
to the Father, to the Son,
to the mighty Spirit, glory,

Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-609; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Together in Song #331 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle;
of the mighty conflict sing:
tell the triumph of the victim,
to his cross your tribute bring.
Jesus Christ, the world's Redeemer,
from that cross now reigns as King.
2 When at length the appointed fullness
of the sacred time was come,
he was sent, the world's Creator,
from the Father's heavenly home
and was found in human fashion
offspring of the Virgin's womb.
3 When the thirty years were ended
which on earth he willed to see,
willingly he meets his passion,
born to set his people free;
on the cross the Lamb is lifted,
there the sacrifice to be.
4 There the nails and spear he suffers,
vinegar and gall and reed;
from his sacred body pierced
blood and water both proceed:
precious flood, which all creation
from the stain of sin has freed.
5 Faithful cross, above all other,
one and only noble tree,
none in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit your peer may be;
sweet the wood and sweet the iron,
and your load, most sweet is he.
6 Praise and honour to the Father,
praise and honour to the Son,
praise and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One:
One in might and One in glory
while eternal ages run.

Cross of Jesus
Author: J. Stainer Hymnal: Revival Hymns and Choruses #550 (1970) Topics: Passion and Cross First Line: Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow Lyrics: 1 Cross of Jesus, Cross of sorrow,
Where the Blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect man on thee was tortured,
Perfect God on thee has bled.
2 Here the King of all the ages,
Throned in light ere worlds could be
Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.
3 O mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!
4 Evermore for human failure
By His Passion we can plead;
God has borne all mortal anguish,
Surely He will know our need.
5 This all human thought surpassing
This is earth's most awful hour,
God has taken mortal weakness!
God has laid aside His Pow'r!

Sing, My Tongue, How Glorious Battle
Author: Venantius Fortunatus Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #289 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: Part I
1 Sing, my tongue, how glorious battle
glorious victory became;
and above the cross, his trophy,
tell the triumph and the fame,
tell how he, the world's Redeemer,
by his death for us o'ercame.
2 God in pity saw us fallen,
shamed and sunk in misery,
when we fell on death by tasting
fruit of the forbidden tree:
then another tree was chosen
which the world from death should free.
3 Thus the scheme of our salvation
was of old in order laid,
that the manifold deceiver's
art by art might be outweighed,
and the lure the foe put forward
into means of healing made.
4 Therefore, when the appointed fullness
of the holy time was come,
he was sent, who maketh all things,
forth from God's eternal home;
thus he came to earth incarnate,
offspring of a virgin's womb.
Part II
5 Thirty years among us dwelling,

6 Faithful cross! above all other,
one and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be!
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron!
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
7 Thou alone wast counted worthy
this world's ransom to uphold;
for a shipwrecked race preparing
harbor, like the ark of old;
with the sacred blood anointed
from the smitten Lamb that rolled.
8 To the Trinity be glory
everlasting, as is meet;

To Mock Your Reign
Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #304 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross; Jesus Christ Passion and Cross First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord,
they made a crown of thorns,
set you with taunts along that road
from which no one returns.
They could not know, as we do now,
how glorious is that crown,
that thorns would flow'r upon your brow,
your sorrows heal our own.
2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord,
they snatched a purple cloak,
your passion turned, for all they cared,
into a soldier's joke.
They could not know, as we do now,
that though we merit blame,
you will your robe of mercy throw
around our naked shame.
3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They could not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your kingdom shall not cease to grow
till love embraces all.

Nature with open volume stands
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: Together in Song #343 (1999) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jesus Christ Passion and Cross Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands
to spread her maker's praise abroad;
and every labour of his hands
shows something worthy of a God.
2 But in the grace that rescued us,
his brightest form of glory shines;
here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn
in precious blood, and crimson lines.
3 Here his whole name appears complete:
nor wit can guess, nor reason prove,
which of the letters best is writ,
the power, the wisdom, or the love.
4 O the sweet wonders of that cross
where God the Saviour loved, and died!
Her noblest life my spirit draws
from his dear wounds, and bleeding side.
5 I would for ever speak his name
in sounds to mortal ears unknown,
with angels join to praise the Lamb,
and worship at his Father's throne.

For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me.[Chorus]
