O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde gross
(O Man, Bewail Thy Great Sin)
INTROIT
Gustav Holst
Psalm 86
To my humble supplication, Lord, give ear and acceptation;
Save Thy servant, that hath none Help nor hope but Thee alone.
Send, O send relieving gladness to my soul opprest with sadness,
Which, from clog of earth set free, winged with zeal, flies up to Thee.
Bow down thine ear O Lord, hear me; for I am poor and needy
Preserve my soul for I am holy O Thou my God,
save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.
Save Thy servant that hath none help nor hope but Thee alone.
Be merciful unto me O Lord; for I cry unto Thee daily.
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant for unto Thee O Lord do I lift up my soul.
For Thou Lord art good and ready to forgive and plenteous in mercy
unto them that call upon Thee.
Give ear O Lord unto my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplication.
I will praise Thee O Lord my God with all my heart
and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.
To Thee, rich in mercies’ treasure, and in goodness without measure,
never failing help to those who on Thy sure help repose.
Heavenly Tutor, of thy kindness, teach my dullness,
guide my blindness, that my steps Thy paths may tread
which to endless bliss do lead.
CALL
TO WORSHIP
Todd Jones
Leader: God is light, in whom there is no darkness at all.
People: Jesus Christ is the light of the world.
Leader: And this is the judgment,
that the light has come into the world,
People: and we loved darkness rather than light.

Almighty God,
graciously behold this Your family,

One God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.

ANTHEM
J.S. Bach
Who Was It Thus Did Smite Thee?
(from St. John Passion)
Who was it thus did smite Thee, my Lord and who requite Thee,
with fierce and cruel blow?
For Thou wert no offender as we to sin surrender,
no evil didst Thou ever know.
’Tis I by guilt encumbered, my sins,
like sands unnumbered, that lie upon the shore;
These sins it was that brought Thee Thy misery,
and wrought Thee of martyrdom the awful store.
LESSON V
John 18:25-27
LESSON VI
John 18:28-32
ANTHEM
Stephen Paulus
Carol of the Hill
On my ground with a crown of thorn,
He died for us Who for us was born.
The tree that flowered is cold and bare;
no songs, no singing anywhere;
O Bethlehem, Ah Jerusalem.
Second Adam, Son of Man,
into my earth Your life’s blood ran.
Now from this earth new trees will grow
with fruits, with flowers I swear it so;
O Bethlehem, Ah Jerusalem.
For You I shall wear a crown of trees,
and birds will sing from among their leaves;
for You I shall wear a crown of trees,
and birds will sing from among their leaves;
for You I shall wear a crown of trees;
now sing, birds, sing, from among your leaves;
O Jerusalem, new lives, new leaves, born again,
O Jerusalem.

Drop, drop, slow tears, and bathe those beauteous feet,
which brought from heaven the news and Prince of Peace.
Cease not, wet eyes, His mercies to entreat;

In your deep floods drown all my faults and fears,
nor let His eye see sin, but through my tears.

LESSON XIII
John 19:25-27
ANTHEM
John Stainer
Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow
Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
where the blood of Christ was shed,
perfect Man on thee did suffer,
perfect God on thee has bled!
Here the King of all the ages,
throned in light ere worlds could be,
robed in mortal flesh is dying,
crucified by sin for me.
O mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
all the sufferings of time!
Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
where the blood of Christ was shed,
perfect Man on thee did suffer,
perfect God on thee has bled!
LESSON XIV
John 19:28-30
ANTHEM
Gilbert M. Martin
Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed
Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovreign die?
Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?
Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut its glories in,
when God, the mighty maker, died for His own creature’s sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face while His dear cross appears;
dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears.
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see!
But drops of tears can ne’er repay the debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away; ’tis all that I can do.
Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovreign die?
Would He devote that sacred head for sinners such as I?
Amen, Amen, Amen!
LESSON XV
John 19:31-37
PRAYER
FOR
MERCY
Todd Jones
Merciful God,
You gave Your Son to suffer the shame of the cross.
Save us from hardness of heart,
that, seeing Him who died for us,
we may repent, confess our sin,
and receive Your overflowing love,
in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
