What a Saviour: Man of Sorrows

2. Hymn Number 168 • What A Saviour • “Man of sorrows!” what a name • For the son of God who came • Ruined sinners to reclaim! • Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

3. Bearing shame and scoffing rude, • In my place condemned he stood • Sealed my pardon with his blood; • Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

4. Guilty, vile, and helpless, we; • Spotless Lamb of God was he. • “Full atonement!” can it be? • Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

5. Lifted up was he to die, • “It is finished,” was his cry. • Now in heav’n exalted high, • Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

6. When he comes, our glorious King, • All his ransomed home to bring, • Then anew this song we’ll sing: • Hallelujah! what a Saviour!

12. Seven Days Before Passover • And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, • Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: • And they shall mock him, andshall scourge him, and shall spitupon him, and shall kill him: andthe third day he shall rise again.

14. Seven Days Before Passover • But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. • But so shall it not beamong you: but who-soever will be great among you, shall be your minister: • And whosoever of youwill be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.

15. No other lesson requires to be so carefully learned by the Lord's people as this lesson of humility. It has to do with the very humblest of the flock, as well as with those who are teachers and elders, etc.; but the degree of force that seems to come with the besetment or temptation seems to multiply in proportion to the position and attainments of the individual. Pride and ambition may be in those who have no official position in the Church, often asserted in fault-finding and criticism which, to the hearers, is intended to imply superior wisdom or ability on the part of the critic--that his wisdom and ability only wait for opportunity to manifest his greatness above his fellows. We are not objecting to a kindly brotherly word of criticism given privately and with a view to helpfulness, but merely to the kind which vaunteth itself and seeks to do injury to the reputation of another. . .Reprint 3362

26.

29. If my friends have alabaster boxes full of fragrant perfume of sympathy and affection laid away, which they intend to break over my body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I might be refreshed and cheered with them while I need them.... I would rather have a plain coffin without a flower, a funeral without a eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy.... Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance backward on the weary road. • Reprint 2447
