20 Hymns for Holy Week

Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me (TOPLADY)
Austus M. Toplady, 1776

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress,
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die!

Were You There? (WERE YOU THERE?)
Traditional Spiritual

Oh! Sometimes it causes me
To tremble, tremble, tremble,
Were you there
When they crucified my Lord.

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood (CLEANSING FOUNTAIN)
William Cowper, 1771

E’er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory (RATHBUN)
John Bowring, 1825

Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that thro’ all time abide.

Deep Were His Wounds, and Red (MARLEE)
William Johnson, 1958

Deep were his wounds, and red,
On cruel Calvary,
As on the cross he bled
In bitter agony;
But they, whom sin has wounded sore,
Find healing in the wounds he bore.
