C M | B |
The sufferings and death of Christ | C |
- | |
Why has my God my soul forsook | D |
Nor will a smile afford | E |
Thus David once in anguish spoke | F |
And thus our dying Lord | E |
- | |
Though 'tis thy chief delight to dwell | G |
Among thy praising saints | H |
Yet thou canst hear a groan as well | G |
And pity our complaints | H |
- | |
Our fathers trusted in thy name | I |
And great deliv'rance found | J |
But I'm a worm despised of men | K |
And trodden to the ground | J |
- | |
Shaking the head they pass me by | L |
And laugh my soul to scorn | M |
In vain he trusts in God they cry | L |
Neglected and forlorn | M |
- | |
But thou art he who formed my flesh | N |
By thine almighty word | O |
And since I hung upon the breast | P |
My hope is in the Lord | E |
- | |
Why will my Father hide his face | Q |
When foes stand threat'ning round | J |
In the dark hour of deep distress | R |
And not a helper found | J |
- | |
PAUSE | S |
- | |
Behold thy darling left among | T |
The cruel and the proud | U |
As bulls of Bashan fierce and strong | V |
As lions roaring loud | U |
- | |
From earth and hell my sorrows meet | W |
To multiply the smart | X |
They nail my hands they pierce my feet | W |
And try to vex my heart | X |
- | |
Yet if thy sovereign hand let loose | Y |
The rage of earth and hell | G |
Why will my heav'nly Father bruise | Z |
The Son he loves so well | G |
- | |
My God if possible it be | A |
Withhold this bitter cup | A2 |
But I resign my will to thee | A |
And drink the sorrows up | A2 |
- | |
My heart dissolves with pangs unknown | B2 |
In groans I waste my breath | C2 |
Thy heavy hand has brought me down | D2 |
Low as the dust of death | C2 |
- | |
Father I give my spirit up | A2 |
And trust it in thy hand | E2 |
My dying flesh shall rest in hope | F2 |
And rise at thy command | E2 |
