O sacred Head, now wounded
With grief and shame weighed down
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, thine only crown
O sacred Head, what glory
What bliss 'til now was thine
Yet, though despised and gory
I joy to call thee mine
What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain
Mine, mine was the transgression
But thine the deadly pain
Lo, here I fall, my Savior
Tis I deserve thy place
Look on me with thy favor
Vouchsafe to me thy grace
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

Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Let the water and the blood
From thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill thy law's demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and thou alone
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to the cross I cling
Naked, come to thee for dress
Helpless, look to thee for grace
Foul, I to the fountain fly
Wash me, Savior, or I die
While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
See thee on thy judgment throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee

Quiet Us With Your Love

Quiet us with your love
Rejoice over us with song
You are the victorious Warrior
To Whom all praises belong
You are the victorious Warrior
To Whom praises belong
Forgive us our violence, Lord
For our streets run full with blood
Pretender priests who love unholiness
Blithely they stand in the flood
Pretender priests who love unholiness
Blithely they stand in the flood
Gather all your people here
Make all of your children known
When cruel oppressors attack us with lies
Uphold our lives from Your throne
When cruel oppressors attack us with lies
Uphold our lives from Your throne
The Lord within her, righteous
The Lord within her, strong
Shout aloud, O Israel!
Take delight in His song
The Lord intones His mercy
A tune for the oppressed
Hymns of truth and justice
For those He calls His guests
The sound of great rejoicing
A mix of joy and tears
The anthem of a Savior
Whose love sounds out all fears
The Lord within her, gracious
The Lord within her, kind
Loud praise, Jerusalem
To the one who calls you, “Mine”
Loud praise, Jerusalem
To the One who calls you, “Mine”
Quiet us with your love
Rejoice over us with song
You are the victorious Warrior
To Whom all praises belong

Blood of Beasts
05:57
|
|||
|
Gather your first fruits and bring ‘em in
Lay ‘em down while remembering
As the blood spills down upon the stone
And you hear the animal groan
This is for you, this is for you
Gather your family round bring ‘em close
Death’s outside of the windows
As the blood soaks into the doorposts
You smell the flesh and bone
This is for you, this is for you
But all the blood of beasts on Jewish alters slain
Can’t give the guilty peace or wash away the stain
Gather your friends round and run on here
Some are saying the Messiahs appeared
All the preachers are saying he’s a joke
But who's to say they know
It might be true, it might be true
"Gather your senses, muster your strength"
"The cup before me, it’s mine to drink”
Betrayal looms like the moon shining above
Could there be a greater love
A love for you, a love for you
Gather your courage now, things are dark
The suns retreated, sins left its mark
And as He, bloodied, prays for your poor soul
You feel the thunder roll
His life for you, his life for you
Cause all the blood of beasts on Jewish alters slain
Can’t give the guilty peace or wash away the stain
A Nobler Sacrifice, into the world He came
To spill His perfect blood, to call us by His name
Gather the saints round the throne of God
Sing his praises, his glory laud
By his blood we have been set free
To worship at His feet
Eternally, eternally

For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
For the wonder of each hour
Of the day and of the night
Hill and vale, and tree and flower
Sun and moon, and stars of light
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
For Thyself, best Gift Divine
To our race so freely given
For that great, great love of Thine
Peace on earth and joy in Heaven
Lord of all
To Thee we raise
This our hymn
Of grateful praise
Lord of all
To Thee we raise
This our hymn
Of grateful praise
Lord of all to Thee we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise
