'Twas on That Dark, That Doleful Night

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 367 hymnals Lyrics: 1. ’Twas on that dark, that doleful night When powers of earth and hell arose Against the Son of God’s delight, And friends betrayed Him to His foes: 2. Before the mournful scene began, He took the bread, and blessed, and brake: What love through all His actions ran! What wondrous words of grace He spake! 3. This is My body, broke for sin; Receive and eat the living food: Then took the cup, and blessed the wine; ’Tis the new cov’nant in My blood. 4. For us His flesh with nails was torn, He bore the scourge, He felt the thorn; And justice poured upon His head Its heavy vengeance in our stead. 5. For us His vital blood was spilt, To buy the pardon of our guilt, When, for black crimes of biggest size, He gave His soul a sacrifice. 6. Do this, He cried, till time shall end, In memory of your dying friend; Meet at My table, and record The love of your departed Lord. 7. Jesus, Thy feast we celebrate, We show Thy death, we sing Thy name, Till Thou return, and we shall eat The marriage supper of the Lamb. Used With Tune: ST.

'Tis Midnight, and on Olive's Brow

Author: William Bingham Tappan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 641 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow The star is dimmed that lately shown: 'Tis midnight, in the garden now, The suff'ring Saviour prays alone. 2 'Tis midnight, and from all removed, Immanuel wrestles lone with fears: E'en the disciple that He loved Heeds not his Master's grief and tears. 3 'Tis midnight, and for others' guilt, The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood; Yet He that hath in anguish knelt Is not forsaken by His God. 4 'Tis midnight, and from ether-plains Is borne the song that angels know: Unheard by mortals are the strains That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe. Amen. Topics: Church Year Holy Week; Holy Week; Holy Thursday; Christ Work of; Names and Office of Christ Man of Sorrows; Names and Office of Christ Substitute Used With Tune: ST. CROSS
