The Sufferings and Death of Christ

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #22a (1793) First Line: Why has my God my soul forsook Lyrics: 1 Why has my God my soul forsook, Nor will a smile afford? (Thus David once in anguish spoke, And thus our dying Lord.) 2 Though ’tis thy chief delight to dwell Among thy praising saints, Yet thou canst hear a groan as well, And pity our complaints. 3 Our fathers trusted in thy name, And great deliv'rance found; But I’m a worm despis'd of men, And trodden to the ground. 4 With shaking head they pass me by, And laugh my soul to scorn: "In vain he trusts in God," they cry, "Neglected and forlorn." 5 But thou art he, who form'd my flesh, By thine almighty word; And since I hung upon the breast My hope is in the Lord. 6 Why will my father hide his face When foes stand threat'ning round, In the dark hour of deep distress, And not an helper found? Pause. 7 Behold thy darling left among The cruel and the proud, By foes encompass'd fierce and strong, As lions roaring loud. 8 From earth and hell my sorrows meet, To multiply the smart; They nail my hands, they pierce my feet, And try to vex my heart. 9 Yet if thy sov'reign hand let loose The rage of earth and hell, Why will my heav'nly Father bruise The son he loves so well? 10 My God, if possible it be, Withhold this bitter cup; But I resign my will to thee, And drink the sorrows up. 11 My heart dissolves with pangs unknown, In groans I waste my breath; Thy heavy hand has brought me down, Low as the dust of death. 12 Father, I give my spirit up, And trust it in thy hand; My dying flesh shall rest in hope, And rise at thy command. Scripture: Psalm 22:1-16 Languages: English

God our Sehpherd

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #23a (1793) First Line: My Shepherd is the living Lord Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd is the living Lord; Now shall my wants be well supply'd; His providence and holy word Become my safety and my guide. 2 In pastures where salvation grows He makes me feed, he makes me rest, There living water gently flows, And all the food divinely blest. 3 My wand'ring feet his ways mistake; But he restores my soul to peace, And leads me for his mercy's sake, In the fair paths of righteousness. 4 Though I walk through the gloomy vale, Where death and all its terrors are, My heart and hope shall never fail, For God, my shepherd's with me there. 5 Amidst the darkness and the deeps Thou art my comfort, thou my stay; Thy staff supports my feeble steps, Thy rod directs my doubtful way. 6 The sons of earth and sons of hell Gaze at thy goodness, and repine To see my table spread so well With living bread and cheerful wine. 7 [How I rejoice, when on my head Thy spirit condescends to rest! 'Tis a divine anointing shed, Like oil of gladness at a feast. 8 Surely the mercies of the Lord Attend his houshold all their days; There will I dwell to hear his word, To seek his face, and sing his praise.] Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English

My Shepherd will supply my need

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #23b (1793) Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is his name; In pastures fresh he makes me feed, Beside the living stream. 2 He brings my wand'ring spirit back When I forsake his ways, And leads me for his mercy's sake In paths of truth and grace. 3 When I walk through the shades of death, Thy presence is my stay; One word of thy supporting breath Drives all my fears away. 4 Thy hand in sight of all my foes Doth still my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, Thine oil anoints my head. 5 The sure provisions of my God Attend me all my days; O may thy house be mine abode, And all my work be praise! 6 There would I find a settled rest, (While others go and come) No more a stranger or a guest, But like a child at home.

The Lord my Shepherd is

Hymnal: PCSC1788 #23c (1793) Lyrics: 1 The Lord my shepherd is, I shall be well supply'd; Since he is mine and I am his, What can I want beside? 2 He leads me to the place Where heav'nly pasture grows, Where living waters gently pass, And full salvation flows. 3 If e'er I go astray, He doth my soul reclaim, And guides me in his own right way, For his most holy name. 4 While he affords his aid, I cannot yield to fear; Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade, My shepherd's with me there. 5 Amid surrounding foes Thou dost my table spread; My cup with blessings overflows, And joy exalts my head. 6 The bounties of thy love Shall crown my following days; Nor from thy house will I remove, Nor cease to speak thy praise. Scripture: Psalm 23 Languages: English

Pause. 5 Rejoice ye shining worlds on high, Behold the King of glory nigh; Who can this King of glory be? The mighty Lord, the Saviour’s he. 6 Ye heav'nly gates, your leaves display, To make the Lord, the Saviour's way: Laden with spoils from earth and hell, The Conqu'ror comes with God to dwell. 7 Rais'd from the dead in awful state, He opens heav'n’s eternal gate, To give his saints a blest abode Near their Redeemer and their God.
