When, Streaming from the Eastern Skies

Author: William Shrubsole Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, streaming from the eastern skies, The morning light salutes mine eyes, O Sun of righteousness divine, On me with beams of mercy shine; Chase all dark clouds of guilt away, And turn my darkness into day. 2 When, unto heaven's glorious King My morning sacrifice I bring; And, grieving o'er my guilt and shame, Ask mercy, Saviour, in Thy Name: My conscience sprinkle with Thy blood, And be my Advocate with God. 3 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pardoning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Saviour, while I rest: And as each rising sun I see, O draw me nearer unto Thee. 4 And, at my life's last setting sun, My conflict o'er, my labors done, Jesus, Thy heavenly radiance shed, To cheer and bless my dying bed; And from death's gloom my spirit raise, To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.

O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Bernard of Clairvaux, (1091-1153) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 736 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded, With thorns Thine only crown! Once reigning in the highest In light and majesty, Dishonored now Thou diest, Yet here I worship Thee. 2 How art Thou pale with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish, Which once was bright as morn! What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, Was all for sinners' gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. 3 Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, 'Tis I deserve Thy place: Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. Receive me, my Redeemer; My Shepherd, make me Thine, Of every good the Fountain, Thou art the Spring of mine! 4 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end! Oh, make me Thine forever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. 5 Forbid that I should leave Thee; O Jesus, leave not me; In faith may I receive Thee, When death shall set me free. When strength and comfort languish, And I must hence depart, Release me then from anguish By thine own wounded heart. Amen.
