Go to Dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 503 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:12-13 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;
learn from 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 suffering, shame, or loss;
learn from him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark that miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished!” hear him cry;
learn from Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay:
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76
Go to Dark Gethsemane
I know that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
Author: Medley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 470 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:19 Lyrics: 1 I know that my Redeemer lives!
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
He lives--my ever-living head.
2 He lives, to bless me with his love;
He lives, to bleed for me above;
He lives, my hungry soul to feed;
He lives, to help in time of need.
3 He lives, and grants me daily breath;
He lives, and I shall conquer death;
He lives, my mansion to prepare--
He lives, to bring me safely there.
4 He lives--all glory to his name!
He lives--my Jesus, still the same;
Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives,
I know that my Redeemer lives!

O God, my strength, my hope
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 385 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7 Lyrics: 1 O God, my strength, my hope,
On thee I cast my care,
With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hearest prayer.
2 Oh, for a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And sees the tempter fly!
3 A spirit still prepared,
And armed with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer!
4 Lord, let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till thou my patient spirit guide
To better worlds above. Topics: The Christian Life Humility and Watchfulness; Prayer for Self-Consecration
O God, my strength, my hope
That awful day will surely come
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 367 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:7 Lyrics: 1 That awful day will surely come,
Th' appointed hour makes haste,
When I must stand before my Judge,
And pass the solemn test.
2 Thou lovely Chief of all my joys,
Thou Sovereign of my heart!
How could I bear to hear thy voice
Pronounce the sound, depart!
3 Oh, wretched state of deep despair,
To see my God remove,
And fix my doleful station where
I must not taste his love!
4 Oh, tell me that my worthless name
Is graven on thy hands;
Show me some promise in thy Book,
Where my salvation stands. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Certainty of the Judgment

New Every Morning Is the Love
Author: John Keble (1792-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 360 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:1-8 Lyrics: 1 New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3 If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
4 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,
as more of heaven in each we see;
some softening gleam of love and prayer
shall dawn on every cross and care.
5 The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask;
room to deny ourselves, a road
to bring us daily nearer God.
6 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love,
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray. Topics: Morning; Love Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

And will the Judge descend?`
Author: Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 305 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:17-18 Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend?
And must the dead arise?
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes?
2 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heaven, before his face,
Astonished, shrink away?
3 But, ere the trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark! from the gospel's cheering sound
What joyful tidings spread!
4 Come, sinners, seek his grace,
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of his cross,
And find salvation there. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Preparation for the Judgment
And will the Judge descend?`
Prepare to meet God
Author: William B. Collyer Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 4:18 First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear! Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated:
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before;
Prepare, my soul, to meet him.
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding--
Caught up to meet him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay,
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold his wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
4 Great God! what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated:
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepared to meet him.
