Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: WASH1957 #61 (2006) Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that 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 wormwood 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 that 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. Amen. Topics: Christ Gethsemane; Christ Passion; Gethsemane Languages: English; Latin Tune Title: GETHSEMANE

All Thy people are forgiven, Through the virtue of Thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There forever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, Bring your sweetest, noblest lays; Help to sing our Savior's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise! Amen.

Author: Samuel Stennett, 1727-1795 Hymnal: WASH1957 #65 (2006) Lyrics: 1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Saviour's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow, His lips with grace o'erflow. 2 No mortal can with Him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair That fill the heav'nly train, That fill the heav'nly train. 3 He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross And carried all my grief, And carried all my grief. 4 To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave, And saves me from the grave. 5 Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be thine, Lord, they should all be thine.

Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Amen.
