Hymn: Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted

Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
    See Him dying on the tree!
    ’Tis the Christ by man rejected;
    Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
    ’Tis the long expected prophet,
    David’s Son, yet David’s Lord;
    By His Son God now has spoken:
    ’Tis the true and faithful Word.

2. Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
    Was there ever grief like His?
    Friends through fear His cause disowning,
    Foes insulting His distress:
    Many hands were raised to wound Him,
    None would interpose to save;
    But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
    Was the stroke that Justice gave.

3. Ye who think of sin but lightly,
    Nor suppose the evil great,
    Here may view its nature rightly,
    Here its guilt may estimate.
    Mark the Sacrifice appointed!
    See Who bears the awful load!
    ’Tis the Word, the Lord’s Anointed,
    Son of Man, and Son of God.

4. Here we have a firm foundation,
    Here the refuge of the lost.
    Christ the Rock of our salvation,
    His the Name of which we boast.
    Lamb of God for sinners wounded!
    Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
    None shall ever be confounded
    Who on Him their hope have built.

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Grace! ’tis a charming sound,
    Harmonious to the ear;
    Heav’n with the echo shall resound,
    And all the earth shall hear.

Refrein:

All sufficient grace!

Never powerless!

It is Christ who lives in me,

In His exhaustlessness.

2. ’Twas grace that wrote my name
    In life’s eternal book;
    ’Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb,
    Who all my sorrows took.

3. Grace taught my wandering feet
    To tread the pilgrim road;
    And new supplies each hour I meet
    While pressing on to God.

4. Grace taught my heart to pray,
    And made my eyes o’erflow;
    ’Tis grace which kept me to this day,
    And will not let me go.

5. Grace all the work shall crown
    Through everlasting days;
    It lays in love the topmost stone,
    And well deserves the praise.

6. Oh, let that grace inspire
    My heart with strength divine;
    May all my powers to Thee aspire,
    And all my days be Thine.

5. Hymn: Many Crowd the Saviour‵s Kingdom

Hymn: Many Crowd the Saviour‵s Kingdom

Author: Thomas A. Kempis (1380-1471)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Many crowd the Savior‵s Kingdom,
    Few receive His cross;
    Many seek His consolation,
    Few will suffer loss.
    For the dear sake of the Master,
    Counting all but dross,
    For the dear sake of the Master,
    Counting all but dross.

2. Many long to share His glory,
    Few will bear His shame;
    Many long to share His power,
    Few will suffer loss.
    Almost none would for His Kingdom
    Count their all as dross.
    Almost none would for His Kingdom
    Count their all as dross.

3. Many sit at Jesus‵ table,
    Few will fast with Him,
    When the sorrow-cup of anguish
    Trembles to the brim.
    Few watch with Him in the garden,
    Who have sung the hymn,
    Few watch with Him in the garden,
    Who have sung the hymn.

4. Many will confess His wisdom,
    Few embrace His shame.
    Many, should He smile upon them,
    Will His praise proclaim;
    Then, if for a while He leave them,
    They desert His name,
    Then, if for a while He leave them,
    They desert His name.

5. But the souls who love Him truly,
    Let woe come or bliss,
    These will count their dearest hearts‵ blood
    Not their own, but His.
    Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,
    Give me love like this,
    Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me,
    Give me love like this.

    The world behind me, the cross before me,
    The world behind me, the cross before me,

3. Though none go with me, I still will follow,
    Though none go with me, I still will follow,
    Though none go with me, I still will follow,
    No turning back, no turning back.

4. Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
    Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
    Will you decide now to follow Jesus?
    No turning back, no turning back.

1. Hymn: Shall We Gather at the River

Hymn: Shall We Gather at the River

Author: Robert Lowry (1826-1899)

(Vocal)

(Music)

(Sheet Music)

1. Shall we gather at the river,
    Where bright angel feet have trod;
    With its crystal tide forever
    Flowing by the throne of God?

Refrain:

Yes, we‵ll gather at the river,

The beautiful, the beautiful river;

Gather with the saints at the river

That flows by the throne of God.

2. On the margin of the river,
    Washing up its silver spray,
    We will walk and worship ever,
    All the happy golden day.

3. Ere we reach the shining river,
    Lay we ev‵ry burden down;
    Grace our spirits will deliver,
    And provide a robe and crown.

4. Soon we‵ll reach the shining river,
    Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
    Soon our happy hearts will quiver
    With the melody of peace.
