The wily Judas watches near

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The wily Judas watches near The Master’s path to-day, That he may into wicked hands The Eternal Lord betray, Who in the desert lone and dread Supplied the multitudes with bread. To-day the wicked one denies His Teacher and his Friend— Once a disciple, he betrays His Master in the end. For silver, see the Lord is sold, Who manna gave in days of old. To-day the Jews on Calvary A cruel Cross have raised, And nailed upon that Cross, their Lord Have wickedly abased, Who made a pathway through the sea And led them from captivity. To-day the spear is lifted high And thrust into His side, Who for His people raised His hand And wounded Egypt’s pride; They give Him vinegar and gall, Who showered down manna on them all. Hymns of the Greek Church, 1900

O dear and sweetest voice divine, O Christ, Thou wilt befriend, And lead Thy people safely on E’en to their journey’s end; Thy faithful people hear Thy voice, And in that steadfast hope rejoice. O Christ, our sacred Paschal feast, The Word, the might of God,— His wisdom most ineffable By Thee is shed abroad; O may we feast on Thee for aye In Thy blest realm of endless day.

Author: William A. Mühlenberg Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Since o’er Thy footstool here below Lyrics: 1 Since o’er Thy footstool here below Such radiant gems are strewn; O, what magnificence must glow, Great God, about Thy throne! So brilliant here these drops of light— There the full ocean rolls, how bright! 2 If night’s blue curtain of the sky— With thousand stars in-wrought, Hung like a royal canopy With glittering diamonds fraught— Be, Lord, Thy temple’s outer veil, What splendor at the shrine must dwell! 3 The dazzling sun at noonday hour— Forth from his flaming vase Flinging o’er earth the golden shower Till vale and mountain blaze— But shows, O Lord, one beam of Thine; What, then, the day where Thou dost shine! 4 O, how shall these dim eyes endure That noon of living rays! Or how our spirits, so impure, Upon Thy glory gaze! Anoint, O Lord, anoint our sight, And fit us for that world of light. Used With Tune: MAGNIFICENCE Text Sources: Episcopal Register, 1824
