Go to dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 518 hymnals Topics: Judgment Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, you that feel the tempter's power; your Redeemer's conflict see, watch with him one bitter hour; turn not from his griefs away: learn from him to watch and pray. 2 See him at the judgment hall, beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned; see him meekly bearing all; love to all his soul sustained. Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from Christ to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain view; there the Lord of glory see, made a sacrifice for you, dying on the accursed tree. "It is finished," hear him cry: trust in Christ and learn to die. Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76

At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping

Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Meter: 8.8.7 Appears in 144 hymnals Topics: Judgment Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping stood the mournful Mother weeping where he hung, the dying Lord; 2 through her soul of joy bereavèd, bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd, passed the sharp and piercing sword. 3 Who upon that mother gazing, in her anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? 4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking while her son that cup is drinking, would not share her sorrow deep? 5 For his people's sins chastisèd she beheld her Son despisèd scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined, 6 saw him then from judgement taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding, grief and love my heart dividing, I with her would take my place: 8 by your saving cross uphold me, in your dying, Christ, enfold me, with the deathless arms of grace.

All is safely gathered in, safe before the storms begin; God, our maker, does provide for our needs to be supplied: come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest-home! 2 All the world is God's own field, harvests for God's praise to yield; wheat and weeds together sown, here for joy or sorrow grown; first the blade, and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear: Harvest-giver, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For our God, one day, shall come, and shall take this harvest home, from the field shall in that day all offences purge away; giving angels charge at last in the fire the weeds to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in the garner evermore. 4 Even so, God, quickly come to your final harvest-home! Gather all your people in, free from sorrow, free from sin; there for ever purified, in your presence to abide: come, with all your angels, come, raise the glorious harvest-home.
