O Sacred Head
Author: James Waddell Alexander; Paul Gerhardt; Henri Capieu Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 725 hymnals First Line: O sacred head, sore wounded (Ô douloureux visage) Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown:
how art thou pale with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn;
how does that visage languish
which once was bright as morn!
2 Thy grief and bitter passion
were all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the cruel pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour,
turn not from me thy face;
but look on me with favour,
and grant 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.
4 Be near me when I am dying,
O show thy cross to me;
and for my succour flying,
come, Lord, to set me free.
These eyes, new faith receiving,
from thee shall not remove,
for all who die believing,
die safely through thy love.

O Sacred Head
O Sacred Head Surrounded
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; Henry Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Sacred Head surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
The pow'r of death comes o'er you,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore you,
And tremble as they gaze.
2 I see your strength and vigor,
All fading in the strife,
And death with cruel rigor,
Bereaving you of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinner's free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn your face on me.
3 In this, your bitter passion,
Good Shepherd, think of me
With your most sweet compassion,
Unworthy though I be:
Beneath your cross abiding
For ever would I rest,
In your dear love confiding,
And with your presence blest. Topics: Good Friday; Passion Sunday (Palm Sunday); Good Friday; Jesus Christ; Petition; Shepherd; Suffering Scripture: Mark 15:17-18 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

Commit thou all that grieves thee
O sacred head, sore wounded
Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Robert Seymour Bridges, 1844-1930; James Waddell Alexander, 1804-1859 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O sacred head, sore wounded,
defiled and put to scorn;
O kingly head, surrounded
with mocking crown of thorn:
what sorrow mars thy grandeur?
Can death thy bloom deflower?
O countenance whose splendor
the hosts of heaven adore!
2. Thy beauty, long-desired,
hath vanished from our sight;
thy power is all expired,
and quenched the light of light.
Ah me! for whom thou diest,
hide not so far thy grace:
show me, O Love most highest,
the brightness of thy face.
3. In thy most bitter passion
my heart to share doth cry,
with thee for my salvation
upon the cross to die.
Ah, keep my heart thus moved
to stand thy cross beneath,
to mourn thee, well-beloved,
yet thank thee for thy death.
4. What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
Oh, make me thine for ever!
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never,
outlive my love for thee.
5. My days are few, O fail not,
with thine immortal power,
to hold me that I quail not
in death's most fearful hour;
that I may fight befriended,
and see in my last strife
to me thine arms extended
upon the cross of life. Topics: Holy Week Used With Tune: HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN (PASSION CHORALE)

In Heavenly Love Abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 566 hymnals First Line: In heavenly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim,
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be over me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure;
My path to life is free,
My Savior has my treasure,
And he will walk with me. Topics: Blessing (blessedness); Comfort; Darkness; Joy; Peace; Seeking guidance; Trust; Wisdom Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Hymns and Meditations, 1850
