Go to Dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 505 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
You who feel the tempter's pow'r;
Your Redeemer's conflict see;
Watch with Him one bitter hour;
Turn not from His griefs away;
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall;
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O the worm-wood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss;
Learn of Him to bear the cross.
3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb
There' adoring at His feet,
Mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete:
"It is finished!" Hear the cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid his breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom;
Who hath taken Him away?
Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes:
Savior, teach us so to rise.

Can a trembling sinner fly?

Save, O save, my sinking soul.

Weighed with equal sorrow down;

Never king wore such a crown;

Melts in deep contrition there;
By Thy mighty grace renewed,
New-born hope forbids despair:
Lord! Thou canst my guilt forgive,
Thou has bid me look and live.

Sinks the inward storm to rest;
Life—immortal life—I feel
Kindled in my throbbing breast
Thine—for ever Thine—I am!

Morning of the Sabbath day
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
Morning of the Sabbath day,
O thou sweetest hour of prime!
Dart a retrospective ray
O'er the eastern hills of time;
Daybreak let my spirit see
At the foot of Calvary.
Joseph's sepulchre is nigh;
Here the seal upon the stone,
There the sentinel, with eye,
Star-like, fix'd on that alone;
All around is calm and clear,
Life and death keep Sabbath here.
Bright and brighter, beam on beam,
Now, like first created light,
From the rock-cleft, gleam by gleam,
Shoots athwart the waning night,
Till the splendour grows intense,
Overpowering mortal sense.
Glory turns with me to gloom,
Sight, pulsation, thought depart,
And the stone that closed the tomb
Seems to lie upon my heart;
131
With that shock the vision flies;
Christ is risen;--and I may rise:--
Rise, like Him, as, from this trance,
When the trumpet calls the just
To the Saints' inheritance,
From their dwellings in the dust:
By thy resurrection's power,
Jesus, save me in that hour.
Sabbath morning, hail to thee;
O thou sweetest hour of prime!
From the foot of Calvary,
Now to Zion's top I climb,
There my risen Lord to meet,
In his temple, at his feet.

Every hour and everywhere,
For His sake, whose blood we plead,
Hear us in our hour of need;
Only hide not now thy face,
God of all-sufficient grace.

For our trust is in thy word;
cleanse us from the stain of sin
That thy peace may rule within;
May each know himself thy child,
Ransomed, pardoned, reconciled.
3 Leave us not, our Strength, our Trust!
O remember we're by dust!
Leave us not again to stray;
Leave us not the tempter's prey;
Fix our hearts on things above;
Make us happy in thy love.
Amen.

1.
Rock of ages, shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.

Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone.
3.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress,
Helpless, look to thee for grace,
Black, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Savior, or I die.
4.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyestrings break in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of ages, shelter me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

Let us strive to rival them,
With the incense of our prayer;
And our hearts, as offerings bring,
To the glorious new-born King.

hold thee silent and alone:

wrestling with the evil powers,
left alone with human sin,
gloom around thee and within,
till the appointed time is nigh,
till the Lamb of God may die.
3 Hark that cry that peals aloud
upward through the whelming cloud!
Thou, the Father’s only Son,
thou, His own Anointed One,
thou dost ask him (can it be?)
'Why hast thou forsaken me?'

darkly o’er my sinful soul,
thou, who once wast thus bereft
that thine own might ne’er be left,

in the gloom to know thee nigh. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Scripture: Matthew 27:46 Used With Tune: CASSEL

Comes for universal sway?

Heard by those who wake or sleep,
On the height or in the deep:
Heard by Life ’mid all its bloom,
Heard by Death in every tomb—
Terrible decree of doom.

Waiting that supreme command,
He shall part on either hand.
To those souls of quick and dead,
Come, shall be the blessing said,
Go, shall be the cursing dread.

Sing it o'er and o'er again
In a garden, man was placed
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
In a garden,--man was placed,
Meet abode for innocence,
With his Maker's image graced;
Sin crept in, and drove him thence,
Through the world, a wretch undone,
Seeking rest, and finding none.
In a garden,--on that night,
When our Saviour was betray'd,
With what world-redeeming might,
In His agony He pray'd!
Till He drank the vengeance up,
And with mercy fill'd the cup.
In a garden,--on the Cross,
When the spear His heart had riven,
264
And for earth's primeval loss,
Heaven's best ransom had been given;
Jesus rested from his woes,
Jesus from the dead arose.
Here, not Eden's bowers are found,
Nor forlorn Gethsemane,
Nor that calm sepulchral ground,
At the foot of Calvary;
Yet this scene may well recall
Sweet remembrances of all.
Emblem of the Church below!
Where the Spirit and the Word,
Fall like dews, like breezes blow,
And the Lord God's voice is heard,
Walking in the cool of day,
While the world is far away.
Emblem of the Church above!
Where, as in their native clime,
'Midst the garden of his love,
Rescued from the rage of time,
Saints, as trees of life shall stand,
Planted by His own right hand.
Round the fair enclosure here,
Flames no cherub's threatening sword;
Ye, who enter, feel no fear:
Roof'd by heaven, with verdure floor'd,
Breathing balm from blossoms gay,
This is Paradise to-day.
Yet one moment meditate
On our parents' banishment,
265
When from Eden's closing gate,
Hand in hand, they weeping went,
Spikenard groves no more to dress,
But a thorn-set wilderness.
Then, remember Him who laid
Uncreated splendour by,
Lower than the angels made,
Fallen man to glorify;
And from death beyond the grave,
Unto life immortal save.
Think of Him,--your souls He sought,
Wandering, never to return;
Hath He found you?--At the thought,
Your glad hearts within you burn:
Then your love, like His, extend;
Be like Him, the sinner's friend.
Ye, who smile in rosy youth,
Glow with manhood, fade through years,
Send the life, the light, the truth,
To dead hearts, blind eyes, deaf ears;
And your very pleasures make
Charities for Jesus' sake.
So shall gospel-glory run,
Round the globe to every clime,
Brighter than the circling sun;
Hastening that millennial time,
When the earth shall be restored,
As the garden of the Lord.

Now the sun at noon of day
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
Now the sun at noon of day,
Shines upon the earth below;
And the fields in bright array,
Spread their beauty in its glow;--
Jesus, Lord, when noon controls,
May Thy beauty grace our souls.
Weary, when the noon oppressed,
Thou didst rest upon the well,
And a sinning soul was blest,
As Thy words divinely fell;--
Lord, Thy living water give,
That our thirsting souls may live.

Once at noon, a midnight dread
Blotted out the earth and sky,
For the God-man bowed His head,
And creation saw Him die;--
May Thy death our dying be,
May we rise, O Christ, with Thee.
In Thy realm of light above,
Rising suns, nor setting, shine;
Thou, Thyself, O Lord of Love,
Ceaseless pour'st Thy light divine;--

Bring our souls, we humbly pray.

Dawns upon our fearful night,
44
And the longed-for day begun,
Pours its everlasting light;
Christ is risen, with gladness then
Hail His rising, sons of men.
Women came at early gloom,
Sad at heart, and full of fears,
Bearing to the dismal tomb,
Spices, mingled with their tears;
"Wherefore weep?" the angel said,
"Christ is risen from the dead."
Lone disciples all amazed
Sought the place where He had lain,
And they knew not as they gazed,
That their Lord had risen again
Mortals, hail the day begun,
Christ hath risen, our glorious Sun.
Mortals, lo! the Christ hath risen,
God-man He, and Lord of life;
Broken now is hades' prison,
Sin is wounded in the strife;
Lo, we hail Thy rising, now,
Christ, the King immortal, Thou.
Light more glorious than the sun
LORD, I Bring My Songs to You

LORD, I Bring My Songs to You
When shall we all meet again
Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
When shall we all meet again?
When shall we all meet again?
Oft shall glowing hope expire,
Oft shall wearied love retire,
Oft shall death and sorrow reign,
Ere we all shall meet again.
2.
Though in distant lands we sigh,
Parched beneath a hostile sky,
Though the deep between us rolls
Friendship shall unite our souls,
And in fancy's wide domain,
Oft shall we all meet again.
3.
When our burnished locks are gray,
Thinned by many a toil spent day,
When around the youthful pine
Moss shall creep and ivy twine;
Long may the loved bower remain,
Ere we all shall meet again.
4.
When the dreams of life are fled,
When its wasted lamps are dead,
When in cold oblivion's shade,
Beauty, fame, and wealth are laid,
Where immortal spirits reign,
There may we all meet again.

God the Father's Only Son
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God the Father’s only Son,
And with Him in glory One,
One in wisdom, One in might,
Absolute and infinite;
Jesu, I believe in thee,
Thou art Lord and God to me.
2. Preacher of eternal peace,
Christ anointed to release,
Setting wide the dungeon door,
Unto sinners chained before;
Jesu, I believe in Thee,
Christ the Prophet sent to me.
3. Low in deep Gethsemane,
High on dreadful Calvary,
In the garden, on the cross,
Making good our utter loss;
Jesu, I believe in Thee,
Priest and Sacrifice for me.
4. Ruler of Thy ransomed race,
And Protector by Thy grace,
Leader in the way we wend,
And Rewarder at the end;
Jesu, I believe in Thee,
Christ, the King of kings to me.
5. Light revealed through clouds of pain,
That the blind might see again;
Love content in death to lie,
That the dead might never die:
Jesu, I believe in Thee,
Light and Love and Life to me.
6. All that I am fain to know
While I watch and wait below:
All that I would find above,
Length and depth and height of love:
Jesu, I believe in Thee,
Thou art All in All to me. Used With Tune: NUTBOURNE Text Sources: Lyra Fidelium; Twelve Hymns of the Twelve Articles of the Apostle's Creed (London: Messrs. Parker and Company, 1866)

Safely Through Another Week
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,012 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week
God has brought us on our way;
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts today;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest:
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we pray for pard'ning grace,
Thro' the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciled face;
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
3 Here we come Thy name to praise,
Let us feel Thy presence near;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above:
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above.
Amen.
