Hebrews 2:9

• [Heb 2:9] The Head That Once Was Crowned

  The head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty victor’s brow. The highest place that Heav’n affords Belongs to Him by right; The King of kings and Lord of lords, And Heaven’s eternal Light. The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His Name to know. To them the cross with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of Heaven. They suffer with their Lord below; They reign with Him above; Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him, His people’s hope, His people’s wealth, Their everlasting theme.

Hebrews 5:7

• [Heb 5:7] Our Blessèd Savior Seven Times Spoke

  Our blessèd Savior sev’n times spoke When on the cross our sins He took And died lest men should perish. Let us His last and dying words In our remembrance cherish. “Father, forgive these men; for, lo, They truly know not what they do.” So far His love extended. Forgive us, Lord, for we, too, have Through ignorance offended. Now to the contrite thief He cries: “Thou, verily, in Paradise Shall meet Me ere tomorrow.” Lord, take us to Thy kingdom soon Who linger here in sorrow. To weeping Mary, standing by, “Behold thy Son,” now hear Him cry; To John, “Behold thy mother.” Provide, O Lord, for those we leave; Let each befriend the other. The Savior’s fourth word was “I thirst.” O mighty Prince of Life, Thy thirst For us and our salvation Is truly great; do help us, then, That we escape damnation. The fifth, “My God, My God, O why Forsake Me?” Hark, the awful cry! Lord, Thou wast here forsaken That we might be received on high; Let this hope not be shaken. The sixth, when victory was won, “’Tis finished!” for Thy work was done. Grant, Lord, that, onward pressing, We may the work Thou dost impose Fulfill with Thine own blessing. The last, as woe and sufferings end, “O God, My Father, I commend Into Thy hands My Spirit.” Be this, dear Lord, my dying wish; O heavenly Father, hear it. Whoe’er, by sense of sin oppressed, Upon these words his thoughts will rest, He joy and hope obtaineth And through God’s love and boundless grace A peaceful conscience gaineth. O Jesus Christ, Thou Crucified, Who hast for our offenses died, Grant that we e’er may ponder Thy wounds, Thy cross, Thy bitter death, Both here below and yonder.

Hebrews 10:22

• [Heb 10:22] I Am Thine, O Lord

  I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice, And it told Thy love to me; But I long to rise in the arms of faith And be closer drawn to Thee. Refrain Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord, To Thy precious, bleeding side. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, By the power of grace divine; Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, And my will be lost in Thine. Refrain O the pure delight of a single hour That before Thy throne I spend, When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God I commune as friend with friend! Refrain There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea; There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with Thee. Refrain

• [Heb 10:22] Since We Have Confidence

  Since we have confidence to come to God, Since Jesus made a way by His own blood, Since He the veil did tear, A living way made clear, Our great High Priest is e’er, Let us draw near. Let us draw near to God, let us draw near; With all sincerity, let us draw near. Fully assured in faith, With hearts cleansed by His grace, All guilt and sin erased, Let us draw near. Let us hold to our hope, let us e’er hope, In God’s salvation great, let us e’er hope. God’s promises are true; He’s always faithful, too; What He has said, He’ll do; Let us e’er hope. Let us spur others on, let us spur on; Let us consider how we may spur on. Let us urge others to Show love in all they do, And good deeds e’er pursue; Let us spur on. Let us keep meeting e’er, let us still meet; Till Christ returns one day, let us still meet. Let us encourage e’er, Christ’s soon return declare, Till we His glory share, Let us still meet.
