O darkest woe!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #215 (1918) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Has earth so sad a wonder? God the Father's only Son Now is buried yonder! 2 O sorrow dread! Our God is dead. But by His expiation Of our guilt upon the cross Gained for us salvation. 3 O child of man! It was the ban Of death on thee that brought Him Down to suffer for thy sins, And such woe hath wrought Him. 4 See, stained with blood, The Lamb of God, The Bridegroom, lies before thee, Pouring out His life that He May to life restore thee. 5 O Ground of faith, Laid low in death! Sweet lips now silent sleeping! Surely all that live must mourn Here with bitter weeping. 6 O Virgin-born, Thy death we mourn, Thou lovely Star of gladness! Who could see Thy reeking blood Without grief and sadness? 7 Yea, blest is he Whose heart shall be Fixed here, who apprehendeth Why the Lord of glory thus To the grave descendeth. 8 O Jesus blest, My Help and Rest, With tears I now entreat Thee: Make me love Thee to the last, Till in heaven I greet Thee!

So rest, my Rest!

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #216 (1918) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 So rest, my Rest! Thou ever Blest! Thy grave with sinners making; By Thy precious death from sin My dead soul awaking. 2 After Thy strife, Life of my life, Thou'rt in the tomb reposing, Round Thee now a rock-hewn grave, Rock of Ages, closing. 3 How cold art Thou, My Savior, now! Thy fervent love hath driven Thee into the cold, dark grave, Thst I might gain heaven. 4 Breath of all breath! I know from death Thou wilt my dust awaken; Wherefore should I dread the grave, Or my faith be shaken? 5 To me the tomb Shall be a room Where I lie down on roses; Who by faith hath conquered death, Sweetly there reposes. 6 The body dies-- Naught else--and lies In dust, until victorious From the grace it shall arise Beautiful and glorious. 7 Meantime I will, My Savior, still Deep in my bosom lay Thee, Ever musing on Thy death: Leave me not, I pray Thee!

Fast fades the day

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #430 (1913) Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 First Line: O watch and pray Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray, And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Every thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclined, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming!
