Into Your hands we commend our spirit O Lord,
Into Your hands we commend our hearts.
For we must die to ourselves in loving You,
Into Your hands we commend our love.
O God, my God, why have You gone from me,
Far from my prayers, far from my cry?
To You I call and you never answer me,
You send no comfort and I don’t know why!
You’ve been my guide since I was very yound,
You showed the way, you brought relief;
But now I’m lonely, nobody’s by my side:
Take heed, my Lord, listen to my prayer.
It was six days before the Passover.
Jesus entered Jerusalem
And the children ran out waving branches
As they sang to Him these words of praise.
Come on and sing Hosanna,
Sing Hosanna, sing hosanna in the highest. (x2)
Lift your heads, O you gates, and reach higher
Let him enter, the glorious King.
Tell me, who is the King robed in glory?
He’s the mighty Lord of heaven’s hosts.
Come on and blest is He, the King who comes,
So rich in mercy and in love.
Come on and blest is He, the King who comes,
So rich in mercy and in love.
Just like a lamb he was led out to die
And my sin it was taken and nailed to the Tree.
Soon as a King he'll descend from the sky
And his kingdom shall reign for evermore.
He shall comfort the earth
He shall bring forth pure joy
He shall wipe every tear from our eye.
He had no form but the form of a slave
Man of sorrows, despised and acquainted with grief.
God laid on him all our sorrow and sin
With his stripes we are healed. He made us whole.
For he has trodden the winepress alone;
To the peoples he looked, there was no one to help
So with his lifeblood our garments are stained
And his own arm has brought us victory.
My people what have 1 done to you?
O how have I offended you?
I led you out of Egypt,
But you led your Saviour to the cross.
My people what have I done to you?
O how have I offended you?
I planted you as my fairest vine,
But you gave me only your bitterness to drink.
My people what have I done to you?
O how have I offended you?
I opened the sea before you,
You opened my side, my heart with a spear.
My people what have I done to you?
O how have I offended you?
I led you out of Egypt,
But you led your Saviour to the cross.
My people what have I done to you?
O how have I offended you?
I planted you as my fairest vine,
But you gave me only your bitterness to drink.
My people what have I done to you?
O how have I offended you?
I opened the sea before you,
You opened my side, my heart with a spear.
O Cross Erected Above The World
Cross of our Saviour King! (2)
Fount from which gushed the waters
Straight from the wound in his side
Filling our lives with his gift of grace
Cross of our Saviour King
O Cross sublime and refulgent tree,
Cross of our Saviour King! (2)
Jesus through thee has saved us,
Great was the price that he paid
Thou art the folly of love divine
Cross of our Saviour King!
O Cross, thou channel of grace divine,
Cross of our Saviour King! (2)
Tree on which death was conquered
Thou the first altar of love
Jesus, the Lamb gave his life to thee,
Cross of our Saviour King!
O maiden will you be the mother of the Saviour?
Your God has chosen you, to give the world His Son
His power will be your shield, His Spirit come upon you
And Mary bowed and said: God’s will be done.
And Mary said yes (x3)
When she knew that it was the will of God
No cradle will be His, but just a simple manger,
A helpless little babe from Herod’s wrath He’ll run
And in a foreign land, long years He’ll have to linger
And Mary bowed and said: God’s will be done.
And soon the day will come, when enemies will round Him
And nail Him to a tree, your sinless spotless one
The price of mankind’s ransom will heavy fall upon Him
And Mary bowed and said: God’s will be done.
O sacred head, surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding head, so wounded,
so shamed and put to scorn!
Death's pallid hue comes o'er thee,
the glow of life decays;
yet angel-hosts adore thee,
and tremble as they gaze.
Thy comeliness and vigour
is withered up and gone,
and in thy wasted figure
I see death drawing on.
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesu, all grace supplying,
turn thou thy face on me.
In this thy bitter passion,
good Shepherd, think of me
with thy most sweet compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath thy cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in thy dear love confiding,
and with thy presence blest.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame,
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above,
To bear it to dark Calvary.
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see;
For ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
To pardon and sanctify me.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He’ll call me someday to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I’ll share.
On we go to Jerusalem
The city if the house of God
Pilgrim people, we seek the Lord:
The Lord of the house of Rock.
Age on age proclaims his praises
Each declares him Lord of all.
Countless millions sing his glory
Answering his pilgrim call.
Peace he promised to our fathers
In the ancient desert land.
Peace he offers in abundance
To his faithful pilgrim band.
All we have is offered in him
As we come to sing his praise.
Blessed is the Lord of heaven.
Mighty God of all our days.
Come into the Holy City;
See the table now being spread;
In this place so large and furnished,
Eat of this passover bread.
Jesus set a clear example,
washing his disciple's feet.
If the Lord went out in service,
We must now his work complete.
Jesus said, "Love one another.
This indeed is my command".
And he told of Love's great measure,
From the cross with outstretched arms.
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me;
Patiently Jesus is waiting and watching
Watching for you and for me! Come home! come home!
You who are weary, come home!
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
Why should we delay when Jesus is pleading
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not His mercies
Mercies for you and for me?
Time is now fleeting, the moments are passing
Passing from you and from me;
Shadows are gathering, death-beds are coming
Coming for you and for me!
Oh, for the wonderful love He has promised
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon
Pardon for you and for me!
Take and eat; this is my body.
Take and drink for this is my blood.
Gather at the altar, share the holy bread,
Join in celebration of the words He said:
We are all invited to the sacred meal;
Food and drink he offers all our sins to heal.
By the bread I give you, life will be restored.
You will be my people, I will be your Lord.
By the cup I offer, know that you are mine,
Know that I am with you to the end of time.
We must now pass over from the land of sin,
Let the Holy Spirit write his law within.
When you share this supper, when you drink this wine,
You proclaim my dying till the end of time.
Take my life, O Lord, and ever let it stay
Consecrated to your care.
Take my life and give me your life abundantly.
Make it beautiful in service, beautiful and free.
Lord, make my hands the channels of your love.
And may my feet walk in your way,
Take my voice and let it sing a song of praise.
From my lips may your word overflow.
Chorus
To you I bring my intellect and will.
Lord, take my heart, make it your own,
Take my energy, my silver and my gold.
In exchange I will treasure your word.
Chorus
Lord, make my body a living sacrifice.
Take and anoint it with your love.
Let me worship you in spirit and in truth.
By your touch my life be renewed.
Chorus
Take up my cross, it is the Way,
Keep my Word, it is the Truth,
At my Table you'll find Life!
For the cross of sheer folly to Gentile and Jew,
But to us who are saved 'tis the power of God,
So we know and proclaim only Jesus, as Lord.
Jesus Christ who was nailed to the Tree.
For the word of the Lord is a double-edged sword,
So alive and so active, it pierces the heart,
Not a creature can hide from the truth it declares,
It exposes, lays bare all our thoughts!
Lord, to whom shall we go? You're the Bread of Life:
Living Bread that descends like the heavenly dew,
Not the manna you gave to our fathers of old,
But your flesh for the life of the world!
The cup of blessing that we raise,
Is a communion with Christ’s own blood.
Tell me how can I repay the Lord
For all the goodness He has shown to me
I will life up the cup of salvation
The name of God I will call.
O how precious in the sight of God
The death of those so faithful and so true
I’m your servant, the child of your handmaid
Yes, you have loosened my bonds.
I will bring a sacrifice of praise
And I will call upon the name of God
Before all I’ll fulfill my promise
The vows I made to the Lord.
The King of glory comes, the nation rejoices.
Open the gates before him, lift up your voices.
Who is the King of glory; What shall we call him?
He is Emmanuel, the promised of ages.
In all of Galilee, in city or village,
he goes among his people, curing their illness.
He gave his life for us, the pledge of salvation;
he took upon himself the sin of the nations.
He conquered sin and death; he truly has risen.
And he will share with us his heavenly kingdom.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur:
Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus.
Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites.
Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus.
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Simul quoque cum beatis videamus,
Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus:
Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum,
Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen.
We glorify your cross and praise your resurrection
For by this holy timber, joy came into the world.
And may this noble tree for us a blessing be,
Revealing to all peoples the goodness of your way.
The world will shout for joy because you rule with truth.
There from the cross you guide us in fairness and with love.
We hail Thee Saviour and Lord
Thy Cross ever be adored.
O Cross thou art the fountain
Of love, and of liberty
Shine down upon the millions
who search for the light of Truth.
Look down upon the needy,
Confirm them in love and grace.
Thou art our true salvation
In Thee all our hope we place.
Be thou our sign of victory
Redeem us from sin and strife
Renew in us Thy passion
And grant us eternal life.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Oh were you there when they crucified my Lord
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Were you there when they nailed him to the cross
Were you there when they nailed him to the cross
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they nailed him to the cross
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Well were you there when the stone was rolled away
Were you there when the stone was rolled away
Ooh sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when the stone was rolled away
What have I done to you, my chosen people?
O tell me how have I offended you?
I led you out from slavery to freedom,
You led your God to die on the cross!
Though from the rock, I gave you saving water,
You gave me gall and vinegar to drink.
What more could I have done for you, my people?
I planted you to be my sweetest Vine.
But in my thirst your bitterness I tasted,
You pierced your Saviour's side with a lance!
I struck down kings, gave you a royal sceptre,
You placed upon my head a crown of thorns.
We praise you Christ, for by your blood you saved us.
We worship you and bless your holy name.
Have mercy Lord, and help us in our weakness,
For you are Strong, Immortal One, the Lord!
And by your cross and glorious resurrection
You have redeemed your people from their sins.
Where love and charity are found,
God there abides.
The love of Christ has gathered us as one,
Rejoice in him with joy which he imparts;
Let us revere and love the living God
And love each other with sincere hearts.
And so when we are gathered here as one,
Let quarrels die and envious rancour cease;
Be our resolve all bitterness to shun
And in our midst be Christ, his love and peace.
Oh, lead us, Master, by your saving grace,
To where the blessed glory in your sight;
There let us see and love you face to face,
Gathered once more in everlasting light.
You who are burdened, toil and sweat,
Longing for rest but all in vain.
Be not afraid of sacrifice,
Be not afraid in front of death,
Lift up your eyes to Jesus Christ,
Cry out to him and never despair.
All you that slip on the way and fall,
Hearts wounded deep and full of woe.
All you that weep in prison's cells,
People who flee from home and kin.
All you whom strife has torn apart,
People whom one has crucified.
You who pass by the way, look and see;
Was there ever sorrow like mine?
See how the waters close in on me, shoulder high.
I sink into the deep and there is no foothold.
A stranger I became to my brothers and friends:
They have abandoned me and covered me with shame.
Look down upon me, Lord, in your great tenderness.
Turn not your face away, make haste to answer me.
Draw near in my distress, set me free from my foes.
To you I make my prayer, your help shall never fail.
You know the mocking words and the shame I endure.
My foes are known to you, despair has filled my heart.
I look for comfort where there is none to be found.
They gave me gall to eat and vinegar to drink!
All you who seek the Lord, may your heart live again,
For God does not despise his own that are in need.
Let all the living creatures on earth give Him praise,
For Sion he will save and those who love his name.
