4 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, From Anselm (xi C.,) J. Heermann, 1630; From the burn-ing of the noon-tide heat, And the bur- den of the day. bo Amen. 1 BENEATH the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon that cross of Jesus Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart with tears Two wonders I confess, The wonders of His glorious love And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; The sunshine of His face,- Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-69 Hans Leo Hassler, 1601; Harmonized by J. S. Bach, 1719 1 SACRED Head, now wounded. Now scornfully surrounded 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Mine, mine was the transgression, 3 What languge shall I borrow Outlive my love to Thee. 4 Be near me when I'm dying, Bernard of Clairvaux 1091-1153; Paul Gerhardt, 1656; tr. J. W. Alexander, 1830, 49 ST. OLAVE Six 6s. Joseph Barnby, 1838-96 Thy life was giv'n for me, Thy blood, O Lord, was shed, That I might ran-som❜d be, And quicken'd from the dead: Thy life was giv'n for me; What have I giv'n for Thee? A-men. 1 THY life was given for me, Thy blood, O Lord, was shed, 2 Long years were spent for me Thy glory I might know: 3 And Thou hast brought to me Thy pardon and Thy love; 4 O let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent, And joy with suffering blent!
