Matthew 27:45-56

• [Mat 27:45] O Darkest Woe

  O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Has earth so sad a wonder? God the Father’s only Son Now lies buried yonder. O sorrow dread! God’s Son is dead! But by His expiation Of our guilt upon the cross Gained for us salvation. O sinful man, it was the ban Of death on thee that brought Him Down to suffer for thy sins, And such woe hath wrought Him. Behold thy Lord, the Lamb of God Blood sprinkled lies before thee, Pouring out His life that He May to life restore thee. O Ground of faith, Laid low in death, Sweet lips, now silent sleeping! Surely all that live must mourn Here with bitter weeping. O blest shall be Eternally Who oft in faith will ponder Why the glorious Prince of Life Should be buried yonder. O Jesus blest, my Help and Rest! With tears I pray, Lord hear me, Make me love Thee to the last, And in death be near me.

• [Mat 27:45] Throned Upon The Awful Tree

  Throned upon the awful tree, Lamb of God, Your grief I see. Darkness veils Your anguished face; None its lines of woe can trace. None can tell what pangs unknown Hold You silent and alone. Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around You and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Til the Lamb of God may die. Hark, that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! You, the Father’s only Son, You, His own anointed One, You are asking “can it be” “Why have You forsaken Me?” Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Darkly o’er my sinful soul, You, who once were thus bereft That Your own might ne’er be left, Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know You nigh.

• [Mat 27:51] Hark! The Voice Of Love And Mercy

  Hark! the voice of love and mercy Sounds aloud from Calvary; See, it rends the rocks asunder, Shakes the earth, and veils the sky: “It is finished!” “It is finished!” “It is finished!” Hear the dying Savior cry; Hear the dying Savior cry. “It is finished!” O what pleasure Do these precious words afford; Heav’nly blessings, without measure, Flow to us from Christ the Lord: “It is finished!” “It is finished!” “It is finished!” Saints the dying words record; Saints the dying words record. Finished all the types and shadows Of the ceremonial law; Finished all that God had promised; Death and hell no more shall awe: “It is finished!” “It is finished!” “It is finished!” Saints, from hence your comfort draw; Saints, from hence your comfort draw. Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs, Join to sing the glorious theme; All in earth, and all in heaven, Join to praise Emmanuel’s Name; Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory to the bleeding Lamb! Glory to the bleeding Lamb!

• [Mat 27:51] Unveiled Christ, The

  Once our blessèd Christ of beauty Was veiled off from human view; But through suffering, death and sorrow He has rent the veil in two. Refrain O behold the Man of Sorrows, O behold Him in plain view; Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two. Lo! He is the mighty Conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two. Now He is with God the Father, Interceding there for you; For He is the mighty conqueror, Since He rent the veil in two. Refrain Holy angels bow before Him, Men of earth give praises due; For He is the well belovèd Since He rent the veil in two. Refrain Throughout time and endless ages, Heights and depths of love so true; He alone can be the Giver Since He rent the veil in two. Refrain
