Ye tears, forth flow!
Has earth so sad a wonder,
That the Father's only Son
Now is buried yonder!
2 O sorrow dread!
Our God is dead,
He paid our great redemption.
Jesus' death upon the cross
Gained for us salvation.
3 O sinful man!
It was the ban
Of death on thee that brought Him
Down to suffer for thy sins
And such woe hath wrought Him.
4 O Ground of faith,
Laid low in death!
Sweet lips. now silent sleeping:
Surely all that live must mourn
Here with bitter weeping.
5 O blest shall be
Eternally
Who oft in faith will ponder
Why the glorious Prince of Life
Should be buried yonder.
6 O Jesus blest,
My Help and Rest,
With tears I now entreat Thee:
Make me love Thee to the last,
Till in heav'n I greet Thee!

Author: S. Franck, 1659-1725; R. Massie, 1800-87 Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 So rest, my Rest,
Thou Ever-blest!
Thy grave with sinners making;
By Thy precious death from sin
My dead soul awaking.
2 After Thy strife,
Life of my life,
Thy fervent love hath driven
Thee into the cold, dark grave
Thst I might gain heaven.
3 Breath of all breath!
I know from death
Thou wilt my dust awaken;
Wherefore should I dread the grave
Or my faith be shaken?
4 To me the tomb
Shall be a room
Where I lie down on roses;
Who by faith hath conquered death
Sweetly there reposes.
5 Meantime I will
My Savior, still
Deep in my bosom lay Thee,
Ever musing on Thy death.
Leave me not, I pray Thee! Topics: Jesus, Our Redeemer

Thou who has blest my soul with rest
Author: Salomo Franck; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Thou who has blest my soul with rest,
Now of Thy rest partakest:
My dead spirit, by Thy death,
Thou from sleep awakest.
2 Thou, my life’s breath, art cold in death:
This hath Thy love procurèd:
Oh the fervor of that love
Which e’en death endurèd!
3 True life I know from Thee doth flow;
Thy voice will me awaken:
Shall my heart that hopes in Thee
Be with with terrors shaken?
4 This dust that lies, securely lies,
And shall be raised immortal:
Then in light adorned, it shall
Burst death’s gloomy portal.
5 For Thy repose from all Thy woes,
Take, Lord, my thankful spirit:
Daily thoughts of thankful love,
Lord, Thy death doth merit. Used With Tune: O TRARIGKEIT Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns (Cambridge, England: John Deighton, 1851)

O Watch and Pray
Author: H. A. Brorson, 1694-1764 ; G. A. T. Rygh, 1860-1942 Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O watch and pray, My soul, the way Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray,
My soul, the way
Of safety lies before thee;
Lest thou shouldst be led astray
And the foe come o'er thee.
2 Use thou the Word
Of God, thy Lord;
All else is unavailing;
Ev'ry thought and passion guard
With this shield unfailing.
3 O make thy choice
The Spirit's voice
When He comes to remind thee;
Then shall peace thine heart rejoice,
Satan get behind thee.
4 One secret thought
With evil fraught,
Which in the heart was cherished,
Havoc of God's grace hath wrought,
And the soul hath perished.
5 Our evil mind,
To sin inclines,
Is drawn by sin around us;
If a wicked thought we mind,
Satan soon hath bound us.
6 One word from hell
Cast its foul spell
On Adam with temptation;
So by one man all men fell
Under condemnation.
7 Each soul astray
From Christ, the way,
Should keep God's people humble;
Jesus warns, "O watch and pray,
Lest ye fall and stumble."
8 Be on your guard,
Keep watch and ward,
Beware of Satan's cunning!
Watch and pray and trust your Lord
Till ye see Him coming! Topics: Confirmation: Perseverance; Trinity 20 Used With Tune: O TRAURIGKEIT
O Watch and Pray
O Hour Of Doom
Author: Epiphanius Wilson Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O hour of doom,
Of heartfelt gloom,
Why should there not be sighing?
Soon shall God the Father’s Son
In the tomb be lying.
2 Men’s sinful deed
Has made to bleed
This innocent, the lowly,
Lest the wrath of righteousness
Fall on heads unholy.
3 The Bridegroom see
On Calvary,
O bride of Christ is bleeding;
On the altar-cross for thee
Hear Him interceding!
4 The lips, whence sped
Life to the dead,
Silence now are keeping;
Let the crowd about the cross
Watch with wail and weeping.
5 O happy he
Who constantly
Thinks, with tears unnumbered,
How the very Lord of lords
’Neath the death-pall slumbered.
6 O Jesu blest,
My hope, my rest!
Grant, with tears, I pray thee,
I may live and I may die
Yearning to obey Thee! Used With Tune: O TRAURIGKEIT Text Sources: The Academic Hymnal (New York: G. Schirmer, 1899)
