Man of Sorrows

Download
1088

Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876
[Key: F# Minor]

Verse 1
Man of Sorrows, what a Name,
For the Son of God, Who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Verse 3
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Verse 4
Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Verse 5
When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lord With Glowing Heart I’d Praise Thee

Download
587

Francis Scott Key, 1817
[Key: B]

Verse 1
Lord with glowing heart I’d praise Thee,
For the bliss Thy love bestows,
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows:
Help, O God, my weak endeavor;
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.

Verse 2
Praise, my soul, the God that sought me,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found me lost, and kindly brought me
From the paths of death away;
Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling,
Him Who saw my guilt-born fear,
And the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.

Verse 3
Praise my Savior God that drew me
To that cross, new life to give,
Held a blood sealed pardon to me,
Bade me look to Him and live.
Praise the grace whose threats alarmed me,
Roused me from my fatal ease;
Praise the grace whose promise warmed me,
Praise the grace that whispered peace.

Verse 4
Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express.
Low before Thy footstool kneeling,
Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless:
Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure,
Love’s pure flame within me raise;
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth Thy praise.

Lion of Judah

Robin Mark
[Key: D]

Verse 1
You’re the Lion of Judah, the Lamb who was slain
You ascended to heaven and evermore will reign
At the end of the age when the earth You reclaim,
You will gather the nations before You.
And the eyes of all men will be fixed on the Lamb
Who was crucified!
With wisdom and mercy and justice You’ll reign
At Your Father’s side!

Chorus
And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb,
Who was slain for the world!
Rule in power!
And the earth will reply
You shall reign,
As the King of all Kings,
And the Lord of all Lords!

Verse 2
There’s a shield in our hand and a sword at our side.
There’s a fire in our spirits that cannot be denied.
‘Cause the Father has told us for these You have died
For the nations who gather before You
And the ears of all men need to hear of the Lamb
Who was crucified!
Who died for our sins yet was raised up to reign
At His Father’s side

Chorus
And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb,
Who was slain for the world!
Rule in power!
And the earth will reply
You shall reign,
As the King of all Kings,
And the Lord of all Lords!

And the angels will cry
Hail the Lamb,
Who was slain for the world!
Rule in power!
And the earth will reply
You shall reign,
As the King of all Kings,
And the Lord of all Lords!

Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross

Download
5019

Fanny J. Crosby, 1820-1915
[Key: D]

Verse 1
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptur’d soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Verse 2
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me.
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptur’d soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Verse 3
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me.
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptur’d soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Verse 4
Near the cross! I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my raptur’d soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

What a glorious truth to sing to be kept “near the cross!” Hear this sermon by Geoff Thomas on, “The Sufferings Of The Cross” to further stand in awe of what Christ has done.

Of Jesus the Nazarene,

But sweat drops of blood for mine.

To comfort Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.

And suffered and died alone.

Oh, how marvelous! Oh, how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be;
Oh, how marvelous! Oh, how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!

When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
‘Twill be my joy thro’ the ages
To sing of His love for me.

Oh, how marvelous! Oh, how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!

O My Soul Arise

1786

Charles Wesley and Eric McAllister
[Key: Bb Minor]

Verse 1
Arise, my soul, arise! Shake off your guilty fears.
The bleeding sacrifice on my behalf appears.
Before the throne my surety stands,
Before the throne my surety stands.
My name is written on His hands.

Verse 2
He ever lives above for me to intercede.
His all redeeming love, His precious blood to plead.
His blood atoned for every race,
His blood atoned for every race.
And sprinkles now the Throne of Grace.

Chorus
O my soul, arise! Behold the risen Christ,
Your great High Priest, your spotless sacrifice!
O my soul, arise! God owns you as His child!
Shake off your guilty fears, my soul, arise!

Verse 3
Five bleeding wounds He bears, received on Calvary.
They pour effectual prayers, they strongly plead for me.
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry.
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry.
“Don’t let that ransomed sinner die.”

Verse 4
The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One;
He cannot turn away, the presence of His Son;
His Spirit answers to the blood,
His Spirit answers to the blood,
and tells me I am born of God.

O my soul, arise! Behold the risen Christ,
Your great High Priest, your spotless sacrifice!
O my soul, arise! God owns you as His child!
Shake off your guilty fears, my soul, arise!

My God is reconciled, His pard’ning voice I hear.
He owns me as His child; I can no longer fear.
With confidence I now draw nigh.
With confidence I now draw nigh,
and “Father, Abba, Father” cry.

Chorus
O my soul, arise! Behold the risen Christ,
Your great High Priest, your spotless sacrifice!
O my soul, arise! God owns you as His child!
Shake off your guilty fears, my soul, arise!
