O Sacred Head, Now Wounded: A Liturgy for Daily Worship from Pascha to Pentecost

A Liturgy

by Jonathan Gibson

A 48-Day Devotional Liturgy for Remembering Jesus from Pascha to Pentecost God’s offer of eternal life through his work on the cross remains the greatest gift the world has known. But contrary to its importance, Holy Week always seems to pass by quickly and be associated with habitual practices that elicit little reflection. As a result, it can be challenging for Christians to establish routines for meditation on Christ’s redemptive life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost. O Sacred Head, Now Wounded  by Jonathan Gibson presents a 48-day devotional liturgy to help readers effectively prepare their hearts from Pascha to Pentecost. Following the same format as  Be Thou My Vision , each daily reading includes applicable Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, creeds, and prompts for petition and confession to enrich personal meditation and family worship. This devotional will help individuals and families establish a posture of remembrance and gratitude as they reflect on what Christ has done for us through his temptations, life, trial, passion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost.

I used this book during the Lent season and Easter. Perhaps my all time favorite Lenten resource. I would listen and sing along with each of the songs and hymns listed, many of them new to me.
I loved the quotes from older Christian sources. The perfect morning time for mom’s resource!

[Kristen B · Rating 5 out of 5]

As has been mentioned already, yes perhaps the title should be adjusted to reflect that this daily liturgy is to be used during the 40 days before Easter. Yes it’s confusing that after Easter there are still two more days in the liturgy, but you have to wait until the sixth and seventh Sundays after Resurrection Sunday.

AND YET.

This book was fantastic. I will dock it 0.5 stars for the inaccuracy of its title, but for me it still rounds up to 5 stars. Why? It really helped me commune with the Lord. From the structure of the worship to the honesty and the profoundness of the prayers and meditations. I loved that Gibson drew from the universal church throughout time to compose this devotional. From the Fathers, to devotional figures from the medieval era, to the reformers and puritans, even bringing in more recent contributions from outside the “reformed” camp (E.B. Pusey!) this liturgical book is simultaneously reformational in its theology and catholic in its scope. Beautiful.

I’m someone who needs help praying. Praying these liturgical books by Gibson out loud has blessed my communion with God. This one was no different. They aren’t fancy but I’ll keep using them for their straightforward simplicity.

[Maxwill · Rating 3 out of 5]

Obviously there’s a lot of good stuff in here, and my frustration isn’t related to the various prayers, texts, and meditations gathered into this volume.

I was incredibly disappointed with the quality of the liturgies and with how it was marketed.

On the marketing side, it’s called a devotional from Pascha to Pentecost, but that’s not true. It’s a Lenten devotional. Pascha is the season of eastertide, and I don’t think a service for Easter Day, Ascension Sunday, and Pentecost Sunday is really adequate to move from Easter to Pentecost. Why call it that rather than just a Lenten devotional? It just seems silly.

The other frustration is that there are several sections that feel not well assembled. Why include 3 bookmarks when I can’t think of a reason to use more than 2?(and even then, I didn’t even find the musical index helpful enough to bookmark) Why is the service for Palm Sunday 4 days early, falling on a Wednesday. Why is there a service missing, so that you can’t use it every day from Ash Wednesday to Easter? Why modernize the Gloria Patri text when that doesn’t work with the tune suggested to go with it? Why suggest singing these hymn texts when there’s no music, many don’t name a tune to sing it to in the back, and even many of the tune names given are too obscure to be found in the Trinity or Trinity Psalter Hymnals? Why use different translations of known and singable texts so that they are no longer singable? Why is the Creed for Easter the Athanasian Creed part 2, which you’re not expected to finish for 40 days until you get to the service for Ascension Sunday which has the Athanasian Creed part 3?

There’s several elements that feel like they weren’t thought through or they were hastily assembled to make a deadline. Having thrown together plenty of not very good liturgies, I can recognize when someone else did the same.

Of course it is a very pretty book, so that’s nice

[Joseph Brink · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book completely changed my devotionals. I am so thankful for discovering this gem and will be using it next Easter again! (I also plan on getting his collection of liturgies for Christmas.)

I highly recommend this for anyone looking for greater depth/richness in devotions and is unsatisfied with the typical devotional format as I was.

[Heather Joy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Liturgy slows me down to consider the thoughts of theologians through the ages, lyrics of hymns, creeds repeated in sequence, and prayers of others. And of course each day also includes Readings from The Law, Scripture passage, and one theological question answered. These have centered my mind during an especially busy season. My favorite part of the daily liturgy was the opening meditation.

“Little did they dream, as they bound the fatal wood upon His shoulder, by whose power that tree was made to grow, and from whom the beings who bore Him to the death drew their existence. So completely was Jesus bent upon saving sinners by the sacrifice of Himself, He created the tree upon which He was to die, and nurtured from infancy the men who were to nail Him to the accursed wood. Oh the depth of Jesus’ love to sinners!” -Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) pg. 155

[John Dekker · Rating 3 out of 5]

The title of this book is strange and misleading. The author obviously doesn't like the word "Easter", and uses "Pascha" (which is the Greek New Testament word for "Passover") instead (p. 13). This made me think this was a devotional book for the 50-day period between Easter and Pentecost – and I got quite excited, since such books are quite rare. But no – Gibson then redefines Pascha to mean the period usually known as Lent (p. 34). So this devotion is for use *before* Easter (the Bible readings, which include all of Lamentations for example, back this up), with two devotions for Ascension Sunday and Pentecost tacked on at the end. (And Gibson is completely wrong when he says Ascension Sunday has been "observed by some churches within the Reformed tradition since the sixteenth century" – in fact, they observed Ascension *Day*, which always falls on a Thursday.) In this way, the book is deeply disappointing.

The devotions follow a traditional Reformed liturgy in their elements and order, but adapted for private or family use, and thus missing the sermon and the Lord's Supper. Each day follows the pattern of Meditation – Call to worship – Adoration – Reading of the law – Confession of sin – Assurance of pardon – Creed – Praise – Catechism question – Prayer for illumination – Bible reading – Prayer of reflection – Prayer of intercession – Lord's Prayer – Benediction – Postlude. This is all solidly Reformed. The meditations consist of quotes from people all through church history, but no-one after Herman Bavinck (1854–1921).

This volume is attractively presented in a slip case with three ribbon bookmarks.

[Sarah Fowler Wolfe · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is not a devotional/liturgy from Pascha to Pentecost. It's Lent, Holy Week, Easter (which is usually called Pascha) and Pentecost. Its subject matter is not suitable for the season of feasting and rejoicing between the Resurrection and Pentecost; it's contemplative and dwelling on our sin and repentance—for Lent.

The liturgy sections are drawn from various sources, all Reformed; and while I'd like to love it, I miss the richness of the language of the traditional liturgies.

In trying to make up his own language, titles, and traditions to somehow honor more time-tested ones he's missed the mark—especially with the extremely misleading (in fact flat-out untrue) subtitle.

The pretty embossed "cover" is actually the slip box, while the book itself is very plain. And for a book that you're to progress through day by day I have absolutely no idea why it has *three* different-colored ribbon bookmarks. It feels like this was meant to appeal to book collectors and not actually to be read at all.

[Alex McEwen · Rating 5 out of 5]

While I appreciated the concept behind “O, Sacred Head Now Wounded,” I found myself slightly less enamored with it compared to the first two books in the series.

At 48 days in length, exceeding Lent itself by 8 days, this Lenten Devotional became somewhat monotonous. Unlike its predecessor, “Be Thou My Vision,” which offered a diverse range of content to keep readers engaged through repeated readings. This work felt somewhat repetitive towards the end. It didn’t help that this had a lot of similar scripture readings to the Advent devotional, that ended just six weeks before this one started. And while skipping days is entirely on me, I felt like I was skipping more days in this work than I ever was in the last two installments.

However, I did appreciate the author's continuation of providing readings from various Christian traditions and historical periods. I enjoyed the continuation of including Psalm 72 at the conclusion of each liturgy. I also enjoyed that this work carried the tradition of giving us a sturdy paperweight and spine design in anticipation of use and reuse.

Despite these minor qualms, I genuinely enjoyed this work. It serves as a testament to our pursuit of Reformed Catholicity and represents a meaningful retrieval of the historic reformation through its readings and liturgies.

I look forward to revisiting 'O, Sacred Head Now Wounded' next year, and fully intend to go back to the ordinary time one in the mean time.

[Scott Kercheville · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5. I loved the Advent version. While I appreciate this attempt and am glad to have this to reference, this volume deserves less love. The theme just felt stale here. The perspective on the cross as our source of forgiveness is drilled over and over, but this repeatedly fails to move wider or deeper than that. In this, the reformed perspective of the author limits the possibilities. For Paul, the cross event has wide ranging effects and results for our lives and how they ought to be lived. It does not feel that way here. By turning our eyes simply upon what Jesus does for us and rarely towards what he does in us, the cross felt simply like a therapeutic reminder of our forgiveness here. It carried less power, at least for me. When Paul knew nothing but Jesus and him crucified in the Corinthian context, I don’t think this limited perspective was what he had in mind. I long for Reformed folks to expand their horizons in orthodox ways.

[Matthew Gasperoni · Rating 4 out of 5]

Since today was Pentecost, we got to finish this liturgy as it took a break after Easter and came back for the last couple of weekends (Ascension and Pentecost). Not much more to say than I have for the others, as it has been such a fantastic resource and blessing in our life to do this during daily family worship. Between this one and his Advent liturgy, we use his other (Be Thou My Vision) on repeat, with some of our own tweaks for reading plans and such—anyway, beautiful as expected! The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is due to some confusing editing mistakes that will likely be fixed in future versions, so maybe stay on the lookout for that. Soli Deo Gloria.

[Jennifer · Rating 4 out of 5]

I appreciate this liturgy form of daily devotions through Lent. (I also used the Advent one in December.) The style is easy to follow and covers praise/adoration, petition, confession of sin, and more. I will use this again in a Lent yet to come.
My favorite part is the hymns used each day. I would look them up on Spotify or Youtube and learned some new Lenten hymns. It was a nice touch.

[Jonathan Roberts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This daily liturgy for Easter is very good. Having something daily to read and meditate on was helpful as I prepared for Easter. This is only the second of these daily liturgies I have ever read, the first being the author’s Christmas one. And I think of the two the Christmas one ministered to me more, not sure why, but still this book was solid and one I will probably use again next year.

Having read the three of Jonathan Gibson's liturgical devotionals now, I appreciate the church calendar in a new light. While I do not think it is necessary to celebrate all of the holidays mentioned in this book (or his others), this still serves as an exceptionally helpful resource in connecting the dots for me historically as well as better appreciating (and not forgetting!) the important "chain of events" in celebrating Jesus via the holidays.

[Lucy · Rating 5 out of 5]

this daily devotion is so helpful in remembering Christ. so so helpful.
the flow of each day just draws you repeatedly back to worship of our God, which is so so sweet.

this daily devotion is one that shouldn't just be kept for resurrection sunday, but daily throughout the year :)

[Kirk Metzger · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another solid liturgy by Gibson. Some of these ‘meditations’ at the start of the daily liturgy are incredibly profound.

[PD · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is volume 3 in a series - a cache of gold, silver, and fine gems. A commonplace book of quotes, prayers, Scripture all rolled together into liturgical rhythms for meditating upon Christ’s Resurrection, Ascension, and Pentecost.

[Addie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mixed feelings on this one:
- I feel kinda bad rating this three stars only, because I did really enjoy the other two books in this liturgy series (Be Thou My Vision and O Come, O Come Emmanuel).
- I feel like the content of this book didn't match what it was purported to be. As the subtitle said, I assumed this would actually be "a liturgy for daily worship from Pascha to Pentecost", meaning there would be daily readings from the start of the Easter season through to Pentecost (in about mid-May this year). If so, what a unique book! I've seen plenty of Lent books. But if this did extend all the way to Pentecost, it would have been really, really something different. However, after Resurrection Sunday, there are only two more readings: Ascension Sunday (sixth Sunday after Resurrection Sunday) and Pentecost Sunday (seventh Sunday after Resurrection Sunday). So the "daily" aspect falls apart after Easter. I know I'm not following the instructions, but I feel like the meditative, habit-building aspect of this will be lost if I wait another six weeks to read the next entry. I dunno. It just feels like it defeats the purpose.
- This isn't a daily reading plan from Pascha through to Pentecost. What it is, however, is a solid liturgy-style devotional that would be quite enriching and helpful if you're looking to sink your teeth into something more meaty than the average Lent devotional (pun unintended, apologies to my more traditional friends). The content as usual is solid, but I'm just a bit miffed about the fact that it doesn't do what it says on the label.

[Brianna Smith Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

The third in Jonathan Gibson’s series of daily worship liturgies. It has a most misleading title as it is not “from Pascha to Pentecost,” but rather is a Lenten devotional that includes some Sunday’s after Easter (I started on Easter, hence me finishing it rather late!)

I appreciated his use of historic creeds, commentaries, and prayers. It’s a lovely book to use as a worship guide, but you can save yourself some money and use the book of common prayer instead. :)

[Meagan | The Chapter House · Rating 4 out of 5]

I adored the content of this book!

As others have noted, it was (disappointingly) mis-marketed as post-Easter material, but that aside, the content itself was fab and added a lot to my Lenten experience. I’m glad Crossway tipped me off in advance that it was for the Lenten journey so I could take advantage of it.

This is the third of book of liturgies from Jonathan Gibson, following 2021’s "Be Thou My Vision" and 2023’s "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel", books that I plan to read in the future. This volume is designed to help us prepare better for meditating on the great work of God in the person of his Son from Pascha (more commonly known as Easter), to Pentecost.
The author tells us that remembering Jesus is a divinely inspired, apostolic imperative. The remembrance of Jesus has been expressed in the liturgy of the Christian church for over two thousand years through the simple preaching of the gospel and the faithful administration of the sacraments. Since the days of the early church, Christians have also observed times in the church calendar for a more focused remembrance of key moments in the life of our Lord.
The author tells us that remembering Jesus is something we do each Lord’s Day, but there is also spiritual benefit in setting aside a period in the church calendar each year to meditate more deliberately on the key events of his redeeming work.
The aim of this devotional liturgy, designed for daily worship from Pascha to Pentecost, is to prepare us better for the season in which we remember the life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus, as well as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit—all while we wait for his return.
This daily worship devotional consists of forty-eight days of set liturgy for the season of Pascha to Pentecost. The order of the elements in the liturgy is fixed and repeated each day, while the content of the elements changes except for the Lord’s Prayer and postlude. The elements included are:
• Meditation: Forty-eight meditations from church history
• Call to Worship: Forty-eight Scripture readings (alternating Old Testament and New Testament daily)
• Adoration: Forty-eight hymns or psalms from church history relevant to the season of Pascha to Pentecost
• Reading of the Law: Seven Scripture readings (repeated weekly)
• Confession of Sin: Forty-eight prayers from church history
• Assurance of Pardon: Forty-eight Scripture readings (alternating Old Testament and New Testament daily)
• Creed: Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed and Athanasian Creed (3 parts)
• Praise: Gloria Patri (traditional), Doxology (traditional), Gloria Patri (alternative 1), Doxology (alternative), and Gloria Patri (alternative 2)
• Catechism: Select Q&As from Heidelberg Catechism and Westminster Shorter Catechism related to the work of Christ to save us from our sin
• Prayer for Illumination: Seven prayers from church history (repeated weekly)
• Scripture Reading: Select readings from Old and New Testaments relevant to the season of Pascha to Pentecost:
• Prayer of Reflection: Liturgical prayers or praises from church history
• Prayer of Intercession: More than fifty prayers from church history
• Further Petitions: Personal, Church and World
• Lord’s Prayer: Traditional or modern version
• Benediction: Seven benedictions
• Doxology based on Psalm 72:17–19
This liturgy of daily worship from Pascha to Pentecost aims to help us worship God by meditating on the great work of his salvation as revealed in the person of his Son.
This is unlike any other devotional book that I have previously read. My wife Tammy and I enjoyed using it for our daily worship.
The book includes three appendices:
Appendix 1: Tunes for Hymns and Psalms, Gloria Patri and Doxology Versions
Appendix 2: Pascha to Pentecost Bible Reading Plan
Appendix 3: Author, Hymn, and Liturgy Index

Rating: 5+☆

Blurb Review: I have been so, so richly blessed by Gibson's daily liturgies and this has been my favourite of the three. Put it on your calendar for next Easter season and be blessed.

Theological Accuracy: 4.5☆
There may be minor quibbles here and there, but overall this is a solid work with a multitude of voices being quoted, all pointing to the glory of Jesus.

Theological Depth: 5☆
The meditations that begin each day are an especially rich mine of thought-provoking theology.

Relevance for Life/Ministry: 5☆
Like his other daily liturgies, this adds such a needed level of intentionality and depth to each day's spiritual exercises.

Overall Investment/Engagement: 5☆
The days do not overstay their welcome and the variety of authors and progression of Scripture readings made it an anticipated part of each morning for me.

Writing/Readability: 4.5☆
I'm not always a fan of the Psalms-as-poems contributions (they felt a bit forced to me) but other than that everything flows wonderfully.
There's also two math problem (that I don't think are just me being dumb...I think they're actually wrong) - if you start on Ash Wednesday, you'll be a day early. And the day labelled as Palm Sunday does not line up with the assigned Maundy Thursday-Easter Sunday readings.

How can you stay connected to Christ after the Easter season? In O Sacred Head, Now Wounded, Jonathan Gibson gives a liturgy for daily worship from Pascha to Pentecost.


Remember and Reflect

This 48-day devotional will help you remember and reflect on Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. After Easter, I tend to miss the spiritual rhythms and routines of reflecting on Christ. This book helps fill the gap as you dwell on the Savior in the late spring and early summer.

The features in this devotional include Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, and creeds. Prompts are also included for meditation, petition, and confession. Because some of the material is repeated throughout the book, it actually helps families memorize the material.


Wonder at the Work of Christ

What I most enjoyed were the special seasonal devotions for Ascension Sunday and Pentecost Sunday. The Scripture readings reminded me that Christ loves the Church, and the Catechism section helped me see that Christ stands as our advocate in heaven. Jesus, as our head, will bring us as his body to himself. The Spirit serves us as a pledge.

Bound in beautiful cloth-over-board and housed in a stunning purple slipcase, this book will serve churches and families well. Wonder at the work of Christ - and worship him!


I received a media copy of O Sacred Head, Now Wounded and this is my honest review.

[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

I bought this book because I absolutely loved Valley of Vision and thought it might be more of the same but with an Easter theme. Firstly I need to say there is Gold in this devotional, some of the great theologians and reformers of the past quotes and prayers really made me focus on Christ and think about what he’s done. I also loved the hymns, a lot of them I didn’t know which made me stop and reflect. I enjoyed the different scriptures each day from different parts for the bible giving a fuller picture of the work Christ has done. However I found the overall structure repetitive and some of the daily liturgy I skipped for this reason. I do not feel the need to say the same thing over and over every day, it felt very ‘religious’ for want of another word. Sadly I didn’t feel that this was particularly about Easter and could have easily been read at any time in the year, even though I appreciated the readings. I would be very careful therefore in who I recommended this devotional too, it would come with the warning to skip and concentrate on what’s most important, the scripture and what they felt most helpful from the rest. The author does say at the beginning that it was written in such a way that you could pick and choose. I would most likely recommend other books I’ve read over this one as an Easter devotional.

[Megan Getter]

Having no liturgy in my current church, it’s so refreshing to be led through a structured time of devotion and worship to the Lord. Love reading through prayers of old across the ages as you are led in praise and confession, assurance of pardon and salvation, hearing God’s law as His will for our lives, and confessing the tenets of the faith. Each day finishes with the reading of scripture and intercessory prayer.

Reading this postlude each day has made Psalm 72 a new favorite, and now it’s been written on my heart…

“His Name for ever shall endure,
last like the sun it shall;
Men shall be blessed in Him,
and blessed all nations shall Him call.

Now blessèd be the Lord, our God,
the God of Israel,
For He alone does wondrous works,
in glory that excel.

And blessèd be His glorious Name
to all eternity;
The whole earth let His glory fill.
Amen, so let it be.”
~Based on Psalm 72:17–19

A great Lenten read being reminded of the work of our Savior!

[Anna · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have been greatly blessed by Gibson's previous devotionals: Be Thou My Vision and O Come, O Come Emmanual. But this one is not what the subtitle would indicate, as it starts at the beginning of Lent, not on Pascha (Easter). So, despite Gibson saying in the preface that it isn't meant to be a Lenten devotional, it really is, as there's only three days at the end devoted to the Easter season (Easter Sunday, Ascension Sunday, and Pentecost). I found it a bit annoying to have to wait for weeks after Easter to finish the book. And I didn't find the Scripture passages, hymns, etc. hung together as well as the ones chosen for Advent did. He needs to decide whether it's a Lenten devotional or an Easter devotional (which would be great, as there aren't many of those) and rework it accordingly.

[Madison Dugger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Man. What a way to truly prepare my heart to fully appreciate and soak in the miracle of the resurrection and the freedom that comes with that.
I sat in church Friday night crying the whole time because there were so many moments that the Lord brought to mind passages that this book had us go through or prayers scattered throughout it.
So many times in my life I’ve gotten to Easter and just kind of gone through the motions- but this was a really great resource for intentional preparation for the greatest day in history and truly experiencing the freedom that comes with it.

[Chloe Cox · Rating 5 out of 5]

Jonathan Gibson’s O Sacred Head, Now Wounded is a beautifully woven tapestry of Scripture, historic prayers, hymns, and writings from the Church Fathers and classic liturgies. Spanning Lent, Ascension Sunday, and Pentecost, it offers the church a Christ-centered, theologically rich guide for worship and reflection. Every element—from ancient collects to timeless hymns—draws the heart into the drama of redemption, helping God’s people walk thoughtfully through the suffering, exaltation, and outpouring of Christ. A reverent and pastoral resource for personal devotion and gathered worship alike.

[Brad Bevers · Rating 5 out of 5]

The third book I have read in Gibson's liturgy series, this one is his Easter devotional from Palm Sunday to Pentecost. Cannot recommend this book and his others highly enough, I have found them to be excellent meditations on God's work and I will return to this one and his others again and again. The best devotional series I have come across by a long shot, give this one or one of his others a try if you are looking for anything like this.
