Watchfulness and Prayer
Author: Steel Appears in 247 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:41 First Line: Alas what hourly dangers rise Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To Heaven O let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears;
My weak resistance, ah! how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious GOD, in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid,
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Tho' trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, Increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirits up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 When ere temptations fright my heart,
Or lure my feet aside,
My God, thy powerful aid impart,
My guardian and my guide.
6 O keep me in thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee.

To Mock Your Reign, O Dearest Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:27-31 Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord,
they made a crown of thorns;
set you with taunts along that road
from which no one returns.
They could not know, as we do now,
how glorious is that crown;
that thorns would flower upon your brow,
your sorrows heal our own.
2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord,
they snatched a purple cloak;
your passion turned, for all they cared,
into a soldier's joke.
They could not know, as we do now,
that though we merit blame,
you will your robe of mercy throw
around our naked shame.
3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord,
they thrust into your hand,
and acted out their grim charade
to its appointed end.
They could not know, as we do now,
though empires rise and fall,
your kingdom shall not cease to grow
till love embraces all. Topics: Christ's Gracious Life Passion and Death; Biblical Narrative; Christian Year Lent; Christian Year Holy Week; Jesus Christ; Kingdom of God; Mercy Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

The Head That Once Was Crowned with Thorns
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 510 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:28-29 Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns
Iis crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty Victor’s brow.
2 The highest place that heav'n affords
is his, is his by right,
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
and heav'n’s eternal light--
3 the joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love,
and grants his name to know.
4 To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is giv'n,
their name, an everlasting name,
their joy, the joy of heav'n.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above,
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6 The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him;
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme!

My Soul, Be on Your Guard
Author: George Heath Appears in 1,362 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on your guard,
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw you from the skies.
2 O watch and fight and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the vict'ry won,
Nor lay your armor down;
The work of faith will not be done
Till you obtain the crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring you to your God;
He'll take you at your parting breath,
To His divine abode.
Amen.

My Jesus, As Thou Wilt!
Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Jane Borthwick Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 609 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:39 Lyrics: 1 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
O may thy will be mine;
into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow, or through joy,
conduct me as thine own;
and help me still to say,
"My Lord, thy will be done."
2 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
If needy here and poor,
give me thy people's bread,
their portion rich and sure.
The manna of thy Word
let my soul feed upon;
and if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
let not my star of hope
grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
if I must weep with thee,
my Lord, thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
and sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, thy will be done."

In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord!

My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember thee.

And all thy love to me?
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember thee.

And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Jesus! remember me. Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper; Remembering Christ
