For this Good Friday, I am sharing a cycle of hymns that I wrote for my master’s thesis. These are based on the so-called “seven last words” – the seven statements that Jesus makes from the cross in the Gospels, which many churches use liturgically for Good Friday services. I wrote the lyrics: the tunes are traditional hymn tunes that can be found in many hymnals. May they bless you in reading and singing them as much as they blessed me in writing them.
