Oh, Shew Me Not My Saviour Dying

This is the original text of this hymn as it appears in The Congregational Hymn Book (1836) where it is listed as a hymn for the Lord’s Supper:

OH, SHEW me not my Saviour dying,
As on the cross he bled;
Nor in the tomb, a captive lying,
For he has left the dead:
Then bid me not that form extended
For my Redeemer own,
Who, to the highest heavens ascended,
In glory fills the throne.

Weep not for Him at Calvary’s station;
Weep only for thy sins.
View where He lay with exultation;
“Tis there our hope begins.
Yet stay not there, thy sorrows feeding
Amid the scenes He trod:
Look up and see Him interceding
At the right hand of God.

Still in the shameful cross I glory,
Where His dear blood was spilt;
For there the Great Propitiatory
Abolished all my guilt.
Yet what, ‘mid conflict and temptation,
Shall strength and succour give?
He lives, the Captain of Salvation;
Therefore His servants live.

By death, He death’s dark king defeated,
And overcame the grave.
Rising, the triumph He completed:
He lives, He reigns to save.
Heaven’s happy myriads bow before Him.
He comes, the Judge of men.
These eyes shall see Him and adore Him
Lord Jesus! own me then.

Words: Josiah Conder, 1836.
Tune (Church Hymns): “Christus” Arthur Sullivan, 1842-1900.

This is the text of this hymn as it appears in Church Hymns (1871) where it is listed under General Hymns. It is a cento of the full hymn:

Show me not only Jesus dying,
As on the Cross He bled,
Nor in the tomb a Captive lying,
For He has left the dead.
Not only in that Form suspended
My Saviour bid me see,
For, to the highest heavens ascended,
He reigns in majesty!

Though still that shameful Cross is glorious,
Where His dear Blood was spilt,
That Cross of shame, where He victorious
Hath cancelled all our guilt;
Yet what, ‘mid conflict and temptation,
Shall strength and succour give?
He lives, our Captain of salvation;
And therefore we shall live!

By death He death itself defeated,
And overcame the grave;
He rose, His triumph He completed;
He lives, He reigns to save!
Heaven’s happy myriads bow before Him;
He comes, the Judge of men;
These eyes shall see Him and adore Him;
Lord Jesu, own us then! Amen.
