Grace Webster Hinsdale·Modern
Verse 1
Are there no wounds for me?
Hast thou received them all?
How can I, Lord, the anguish see,
Beneath which thou didst fall?
Verse 2
’Tis over now, I know,--
That suffering life of thine;
Thy precious blood has ceased to flow,
Thou wear’st thy crown divine;
Verse 3
But yet, I weeping see
The thorns which pierced thy head;
Thou faint’st beneath thy cross for me,
For me to death thou’rt led!
Verse 4
Meekly, with love divine,
Thy holy head is bent,
And streams of blood, for sins of mine,
Flow where thy side is rent.
Verse 5
Beneath this sacred flood
I bow my sinful soul;
Dear Savior, let thy precious blood
Wash me and make me whole.

V. 1. Thomas Shepherd, 1692. Vs. 2-3, G. N. Allen, 1849, _a._
Verse 1
Must Jesus bear the cross alone,
And all the world go free?
No, there’s a cross for every one,
And there’s a cross for me.
Verse 2
How happy are the saints above,
Who once went mourning here!
But now they taste unmingled love,
And joy without a tear.
Verse 3
This consecrated cross I’ll bear,
Till death shall set me free,
And then go home my crown to wear,
For there’s a crown for me.
Verse 4
Upon the crystal pavement, down
At Jesus’ pierced feet,
Joyful, I’ll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.
Verse 5
And palms shall wave, and harps shall ring
Beneath heaven’s arches high;
The Lord, that lives, the ransomed sing,
That lives no more to die.
Verse 6
Oh! precious cross! oh! glorious crown!
Oh! resurrection day!
Ye angels! from the skies come down,
And bear my soul away.

Isaac Watts·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
Am I a soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own his cause,
Or blush to speak his name?
Verse 2
Must I be carried to the skies
On flow’ry beds of ease,
While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed thro’ bloody seas?
Verse 3
Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God?
Verse 4
Sure I must fight if I would reign;
Increase my courage, Lord;
I’ll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by thy word.
Verse 5
Thy saints in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die;
They see the triumph from afar,
By faith they bring it nigh.
Verse 6
When that illustrious day shall rise,
And all thy armies shine
In robes of vict’ry through the skies,
The glory shall be thine.
