Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 503 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, all who feel the tempter's power; your Redeemer's conflict see, watch with him one bitter hour: turn not from his griefs away teach us, Lord, how we should pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, view the Lord of life arraigned. Oh, the wormwood and the gall! Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss help us, Lord, to bear our cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear him cry save us, Lord, when death draws nigh.

Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: alleluia! 5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always, "Alleluia!"

So here I kneel, my Savior, for I deserve your place; look on me with your favor and save me by your grace. 3 What language shall I borrow to thank you, dearest Friend, for this, your dying sorrow, your mercy without end?

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,299 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 27:45 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, and did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head for sinners such as I? 2 Was it for sins that I have done he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown, and love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide and shut its glories in when Christ, the mighty Maker, died for his own creatures' sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears, dissolve my heart in thankfulness, and melt mine eyes to tears.

All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them through his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

My Song Is Love Unknown

O who am I, that for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the way Hosannas to their King: Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, And for His death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He mad the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! is all their breath, Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they saved, The Prince of life they slay, Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, That He His foes from thence might free.

Then in his hands the cup he raised, And God anew he thanked and praised; While kindness in his bosom glowed, And from his lips salvation flowed: My blood I thus pour forth, be cries, To cleanse the soul in sin that lies; In this the covenant is sealed, And Heav’n’s eternal grace revealed. With love to man this cup is fraught, Let all partake the sacred draught; Through latest ages let it pour, In mem’ry of my dying hour.
