Winning both from God and man
Favor such as childhood can;
Born for us, etc.
4 Look upon us, Lord, for we
Ask but to resemble Thee,
Treading in thy footsteps here,
Walking in our Father's fear;
Lowly, loving, undefiled,
Followers of the Holy Child.
Music in Young Christian Soldier, March, 1869; or Parish Hymnal, p. 62.
HILDREN, hear! Children, hear!
We must keep the holy fast,
For Christ's death is drawing near,
And the Christmas time is past:
And our Saviour is so dear,
If He sorrows we must weep:
Children, hear! Children, hear!
We've a holy fast to keep.
2 For He came ! For He came
To lay down his life for you,
And He bore the pain and shame,
And He prayed and fasted too.
If we love his holy name,
Let us sorrow at his side.
For He came ! For He came !
And He suffered and He died.
3 So we raise! So we raise,
In this solemn fast of Lent,
Our soft strain of child-like praise
'Mid the burden of lament.
Glory be, through endless days,
To the Father, Spirit, Son.
So we raise ! So we raise
Songs to God, the Three in One.

[ELP me, Lord! the widow cried
When to Jesus she applied;
Help us, Lord! must be our plea,
When, like her, we come to Thee.
We are very full of need,
Thou alone canst help bestow;
Hear us as for help we plead;
Do not, do not, tell us No!
2 We are in our souls unclean,
For we were conceived in sin,
And we show in act and word
That we do not love Thee, Lord.
Hear us, Lord, and help us now!
Wash us in the Saviour's blood:
And as at thy throne we bow,
Make our spirits clean for God.
Music in Parish Hymnal, p. 106; Goodrich's Service and Tune Book, p. 122.
ESUS, meek and gentle,
Son of God most high,
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear thy children's cry.
2 Pardon our offences,
Loose our captive chains,
Break down every idol
Which our soul detains.
3 Give us holy freedom,
Fill our hearts with love:
Draw us, holy Jesus!
To the realms above.
4 Lead us on our journey
Be Thyself the Way,
Through terrestrial darkness,
To celestial day.
5 Jesus, meek and gentle,
Son of God most, high,
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear thy children's cry. Amen.
Music in S. S. Chant and Tune Book, p. 90.
cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy side, a healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
2 Should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know,
This for sin could not atone,
Thou must save and thou alone;
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Music in Goodrich's Service and Tune Book, p. 48.
EYOND the wicked city wall
They set the cruel cross on high,
Where the dear Lord, who saved us all,
Did hang in pain and bleed and die.
2 Since God's own Son must suffer thus,
Our souls from Satan's grasp to win;
Since only He could ransom us,
O, what a fearful thing is sin!
3 O! by thy griefs that dreadful day,
Dear Lord, and by thy precious blood,
Wash all our guilty stains away,
And make thy sinful children good.
Music in Parish Hymnal, p. 54; Goodrich's Service and Tune Book, p. 8$ Hollister's Chant and Tune Book, p. 98.
HERE is a green hill far
Without a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3 He died that we might be forgiven,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heaven,
Saved by his precious blood.
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heaven, and let us in.
5 O, dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him too,
And trust in his redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.
2 Thou art the King of Israel,
Thou David's royal Son;
Who in the Lord's name comest;
The King and Blessed One.
Glory and praise and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!
3 The company of heaven
Are praising Thee on high,
And mortal men and all things
Created make reply.
Glory and praise and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!
4 The people of the Hebrews
With palms before Thee went :
Our praise and prayer and anthems
Before Thee we present.
Glory and praise and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!
5 Thou wentest to thy Passion
Amid their shouts of praise:
Thou reignest now in glory,
While we our anthems raise.
Glory and praise and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!
6 Thou didst accept their praises :
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King.
Glory and praise and honor
To Thee, Redeemer, King!

HEN his salvation bringing
To Zion Jesus came,
The children all stood singing
Hosanna to his name;
