HYMN: The Old Rugged Cross TUMH 504

1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shame;
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, The Seven Last Words
till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross.
and exchange it some day for a crown.

has a wondrous attraction for me;

for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above

to pardon and sanctify me.

 Hymn: Beneath The Cross of Jesus TUMH 297
1. Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand,
the shadow of a mighty rock within a weary land;
a home within the wildness, a rest upon the way,
from the burning of the noontide heat,
and the burden of the day.
2. Upon that cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One who suffered there for me;
And from my stricken heart with tears two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love and my unworthiness.
3. I take, O cross, thy shadow for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by, to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame, my glory all the cross.
THE FOURTH WORD Mark 15:33-34
And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the
whole land until the ninth hour . And at the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, “Elo-I, elo-I, lama sabach-thani?”
which means, “My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?”

One of the criminals hanging there threw insults at him:
“Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” The other one,
however, rebuked him, saying: “Don’t you fear God? Here we
are all under the same sentence. Ours, however, is only right, for
we are getting what we deserve for what we did; but he has done
no wrong.” And he said to Jesus, “ Remember me, Jesus, when
you come as King!” Jesus said to him, “I tell you this: Today you
will be in Paradise with me.”

Standing close to Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister,
Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw his mother

“Woman, here is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “ Here is your
mother.” And from that time the disciple took her to live in his home.
