And Can It Be That I Should Gain?
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Worshiping Church #473 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Jesus Christ Self-humiliation; Jesus Christ Self-humiliation First Line: And can it be that I should gain Refrain First Line: Amazing love! how can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Savior's blood?
Died he for me, who caused his pain?
For me, who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Refrain:
Amazing love! how can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
2 'Tis mystery all! The Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine!
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain]
3 He left his Father's throne above ,
so free, so infinite his grace;
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race;
'tis mercy all, immense and free,
for, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain]
4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth and followed thee. [Refrain]
5 No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine!
Alive in him, my living head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach the eternal throne
and claim the crown, through Christ, my own. [Refrain]

The Old Rugged Cross

the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross, where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.
2 O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
has a wondrous attraction for me;
for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary. [Refrain]
3 In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
a wondrous beauty I see,
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me. [Refrain]
4 To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
its shame and reproach gladly bear;
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share. [Refrain]

Dread Jehovah! God of nations!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #540 (1870) Topics: For a day of public humiliation; National Hymns humiliation Lyrics: 1 Dread Jehovah! God of nations!
From Thy temple in the skies
Hear Thy people's supplications;
Now for their deliv'rance rise.
2 Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding;
Jesus' blood can cleanse them all.
3 Let that love veil our transgression,
Let that blood our guilt efface;
Save Thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil Thy holy place.
4 Lo! with deep contrition turning,
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning,
Hear us, spare us, and defend. Languages: English

Psalm 10
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.21 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Humiliation-day First Line: Why doth the Lord stand off so far? Lyrics:
Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
And why conceal his face,
When great calamities appear,
And times of deep distress?
Lord, shall the wicked still deride
Thy justice and thy power?
Shall they advance their heads in pride,
And still thy saints devour?
They put thy judgments from their sight,
And then insult the poor;
They boast in their exalted height,
That they shall fall no more.
Arise, O God, lift up thine hand,
Attend our humble cry;
No enemy shall dare to stand
When God ascends on high.
Why do the men of malice rage,
And say, with foolish pride,
"The God of heav'n will ne'er engage
To fight on Zion's side?"
But thou for ever art our Lord;
And powerful is thine hand,
As when the heathens felt thy sword,
And perished from thy land.
Thou wilt prepare our hearts to pray,
And cause thine ear to hear;
He hearkens what his children say,
And puts the world in fear.
Proud tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the just;
And mighty sinners shall confess
They are but earth and dust.

Psalm 10
The Abasement of the Exalted
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CXXXIV (1792) Topics: The Humiliation of the Glorified with Glory before the World began First Line: Dear Lamb! thy humble state we sing Lyrics: 1 Dear Lamb! thy humbled state we sing,
Thy name, thy wounds and blood we praise;
We own thee, infant God, our King,
And to thy throne our hearts we raise.
2 Humbled in poverty and pain,
Temptation sore, contempt and scorn,
The curse of earth for to sustain,
Was the eternal Father born.
3 Empty'd of all, but tort'ring smart,
His honour and his judgment lost:
Deep, unknown sorrows fill'd his heart,
His soul with fierce temptations tost.
4 By this, the everlasting grace,
And boundless love of God appears;
By this we see the Father's face,
Where lost are all our sins and fears.

The Abasement of the Exalted
Praise
Author: D. Turner Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CXXXVII (1792) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Humiliation of the Glorified with Glory before the World began First Line: Holy wonder, heav'nly grace Lyrics: 1 Holy wonder, heav'nly grace,
Come inspire our humble lays,
While the Savior's love we sing,
Whence our hopes and comforts spring.
2 Man, involv'd in guilt and woe,
Touch'd his tender bosom so,
That, when justice death demands,
Forth the great deliv'rer stands;
3 Cries to God, "Thy mercy shew,
Lo! I come thy will to do;
I the sacrifice will be,
Death shall plunge his dart in me."
4 Tho' the form of God he bore,
Great in glory, great in pow'r,
See him in our flesh array'd,
Lower than his Angels made.
5 He that Heav'n itself possess'd,
Now and infant at the breast!
Angels from the world above,
See and sing th' amazing love!
6 Thro' the shining hours of day,
Toil and danger mark his way;
Lonely mounts, and chilling air,
Witness oft his midnight prayer.
7 Now the heav'nly lover dies!
Darkness veils the mid day skies!
Angels round the bloody tree,
Throng and gaze in ecstacy!
8 Pow'r unseen earth's bosom heaves,
Rocks and tombs asunder cleave;
While the temple's rending veil
Tells the pries the awful tale.
9 But, the third day's dawning come,
Lo! the Saviour leaves the tomb!
Reascends his native sky,
Where he lives no more to die.
10 On his cross he builds his throne,
Whence he makes his glories known,
Sends his spirit down to give
Dying sinners, grace to live.

The Rich made Poor for our Sakes
Author: James Relly Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Humiliation of the Glorified with Glory before the World began First Line: Jesus, how glorious is thy grace! Lyrics: 1 Jesus, how glorious is thy grace!
How excellent thy name!
Unclouded heaven's in thy face,
Thou venerable Lamb.
2 Tho' thou wast rich in angel's songs,
Thou willingly wast born
To feel the rage of mortal Ttongues,
Their ridicule and scorn.
3 Tho' thou wast rich in pow'r supreme,
Yet didst thou condescend,
From worms of earth to suffer shame,
And insults from the fiend.
4 Tho' thou wast rich in righteousness,
Divinely pure within;
Yet didst thou feel hell's deep distress,
When made our curse and sin.
5 Tho' thou wast infinitely high
And rich, yet didst thou take
The deepest shame and poverty,
And for the sinner's sake:
6 That, thro' thy poverty and loss,
We might be rich and blest;
And, by the labours of thy cross,
Might gain eternal rest.
7 Inrich'd by all thy loss and smart,
Thy heav'n's on man bestow'd;
Witness'd, when from thy bleeding heart
The blood and water flow'd.
8 Our dearest Lord, we bless thy grace,
Thy wond'rous love admire;
To see the beauties of thy face,
May all the world desire.
9 Live Jesus, live for evermore,
Whilst all the sons of God
Thy glorious person shall adore,
And bless thy grace and blood.

The Rich made Poor for our Sakes
On a day of prayer for success in war
Author: Steele Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DXXVII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Times and Seasons Days of Humiliation First Line: Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare Lyrics: 1 Lord, how shall wretched sinners dare
Look up to thy divine above?
Or offer their imperfect prayer
Before a just, a holy God?
2 Bright terrors guard thy awful seat,
And dazzling glories veil thy face;
Yet mercy calls us to thy feet,
Thy throne is still a throne of grace.
3 O may our souls thy grace adore
May Jesus plead our humble claim;
While thy protection we implore,
In his prevailing, glorious name.
4 With all the boasted pomp of war
In vain we dare the hostile field:
In vain, unless the Lord be there;
Thy arm alone is Britain's shield.
5 Let past experience of thy care
Support our hope, our trust invite!
Again attend our humble prayer!
Again be mercy thy delight!
6 Our arms succeed, our councils guide,
Let thy right hand our cause maintain;
'Till war's destructive rage subside,
And peace resume her gentle reign.
7 O when shall time the period bring,
When raging war shall waste no more;
When peace shall stretch her balmy wing
From Europe's coast, to India's shore.
8 When shall the gospel's healing ray
(Kind source of amity divine!)
Spread o'er the world celestial day?
When shall the nations, Lord, be thine? Languages: English
On a day of prayer for success in war
