Hymns for 1st Sunday in Lent

Opening hymn # We join in our Opening hymn # 144, v. 1-3, ‘Jesus, Grant that Balm and Healing”

1. Jesus, grant that balm and healing, In Thy holy wounds I find,
Every hour that I am feeling, Pains of body and of mind.
Should some evil thought within, Tempt my treacherous heart to sin,
Show the peril, and from sinning, Keep me ere its first beginning.

2. Should some lust or sharp temptation, Prove too strong for flesh and blood,Let me think upon Thy Passion, And the breach is soon made good.
Or should Satan press me hard, Let me then be on my guard,
Saying, "Christ for me was wounded," That the Tempter flee confounded.

3. If the world my heart entices, On the broad and easy road
With it mirth and luring voices, Let me think upon the load
Thou didst carry and endure, That I flee all thoughts impure,
Banishing each wild emotion, Calm and blest in my devotion.

Sermon hymn # 180, “Jesus, in Thy Dying Woes”

1. Jesus, in Thy dying woes, Even while Thy life-bIood flows,
Craving pardon for Thy foes: Hear us, holy Jesus.

2. Savior, for our pardon sue, When our sins Thy pangs renew,
For we know not what we do: Hear us, holy Jesus.

3. Oh, may we who mercy need, Be like Thee in heart and deed
When with wrong our spirits bleed: Hear us, holy Jesus.

Hymn # 153 v. 1, 4, “Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted”

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;
Proofs I see sufficient of it: 'Tis the true and faithful Word.

4. Here we have a firm foundation; Here the refuge of the lost;
Christ's 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.

Closing Hymn: # 158 v. 1-3, “Glory be to Jesus”

1. Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the life-blood, From His sacred veins!

2. Grace and life eternal, In that blood I find;
Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind!

3. Blest through endless ages, Be the precious stream
Which from endless torments, Did the world redeem!
