O CROSS ERECTED ABOVE THE

WORLD
O cross erected above the world
cross of our Saviour King (2).

Fount from which gushed

the waters
Straight from the wound in His side

Filling our lives with His

gift of grace

Cross of our Saviour King.

O cross sublime and refulgent tree

Cross of our Saviour King (2)

Jesus though thee has saved us

Great was the price that He paid

Thou art the folly of love divine

Cross of our Saviour King.

O cross thou channel of grace
divine

Cross of our Saviour King (2).

Tree on which death was

conquered
Thou the first altar of love

Jesus the Lamb gave His life

on thee

Cross of our Saviour King.

O cross all honour and praise

to thee

Cross of our Saviour King (2)

Thou art the sign of victory

 Sign of redemption and life

Homage and glory belong to thee

Cross of our Saviour King.

GOD OF MERCY AND COMPASSION

God of mercy and compassion

Look with pity upon me;

Father, let me call thee Father

This Thy child returns to thee.

Ch: Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy,

Let me not implore in vain,

All my sins I now detest them,

Never will I sin again.

 By my sins I have deserved

Death and endless misery

Hell, with all its pains and torments,

And for all eternity.

 DOWN IN ADORATION
Down in adoration falling

Lo ! the Sacred Host we hail

Lo ! oer ancient forms departing

 Newer rites of grace prevail

Faith for all defects supplying

 Where the feeble senses fail.

To the everlasting Father

And the Son who reigns on high

With the Holy Ghost proceeding

Forth from each eternally.

WE HAIL THEE
Ch: We hail thee, Saviour and Lord,

Thy cross ever be adored (2).

 O cross, thou art the fountain

Of love and liberty

Shine down upon the millions

Who search for the light of truth?

 Look down upon the needy

Confirm them in strength and

grace,

Thou art our true salvation

In thee, all our hope we place.

 Be thou sign of victory

Redeem us from sin and strife

Renew in us Thy passion

And grant us eternal life.

SOUL OF MY SAVIOUR
Soul of my Saviour, Sanctify

my soul
Body of Christ, be thou my

saving guest
Blood of my Saviour, bathe

me in thy tide

Wash me with water flowing

from thy side.

Strength and protection may

thy passion be

O blessed Jesus, hear and

answer me
Deep in thy wounds, Lord, hide and
shelter me

So shall I never, never part from

thee.
Guard and defend me from

the malign foe

In deaths dread moments

only thee to know

Call me and bid me to thy

throne draw nigh

That I may praise thee with

saints on high.
WAY OF THE CROSS
At the cross her station keeping

Stood the mournful mother

weeping

Close to Jesus to the last.

 Through her heart His

sorrow sharing
All His bitter anguish bearing

Now at length the sword

hath passed.
Oh how sad and sorely distressed

Was that mother highly blest

Of her soul begotten one.

Christ above in torment hangs

She beneath Him beholds

the pangs

Of her dying glorious Son.

Is there one who would not weep

Whelmed in miseries so deep

Christs dear Mother to behold.

Can the human heart refrain

From partaking in her pain

In that mothers pain untold.

Bruised derided cursed defiled

She beheld her tender child

All with bloody scourges rent.

For the sins of His own nation

Saw Him hang in desolation

Till His spirit forth He sent.

 O thou Mother fount of love

Touch my spirit from above

Make my heart with thine accord.

 Make me feel as thou has felt

Make my soul to glow and melt

With the love of Christ my Lord.

 Holy Mother pierce my

soul through

In my heart each wound renew

Of my Saviour crucified.
Let me share with thee His pain

Who for all my sins was slain

Who for me in torment died.

Let me mingle tears with thee

Mourning Him who mourned

for me

All the days that I may live.

By the cross with Thee to stay

There to Thee to weep and pray

Is all I ask of Thee to give.

 While my body here decays

May my soul Thy goodness praise

Safe in paradise with Thee.

 COME THOU FOUNT
Come thou fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace

Streams of mercy never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise.

Ch: Teach me some melodious
sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount Im fixed upon it

Mount of thy redeeming love.

 O to grace how great a debtor

Daily Im constrained to be

Let they grace Lord like a fetter

Bind my wandering heart to thee.

Prone to wander Lord I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Heres my heart Lord O

take and seal it

Seal it for thy courts above.

 Here I raise mine Ebenezer

Hither by Thy great help I come

And I hope by thy good pleasure

Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger

Wandering from the fold of God

He to rescue me from danger

Bought me with His precious

blood
