Christ, on the Night He Was Betrayed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, on the night he was betrayed, for us a plain example made. The Paschal feast had been prepared, and with his friends he freely shared. 2 Before he suffered, he desired to show us all what love required. The honored teacher left his seat and knelt to wash his servant’s feet. 3 Such gentle kindness did he show with towel and basin, stooping low! When all were washed, he stood to ask that they repeat this humble task. 4 “If I have done this unto you, you ought to serve each other, too. And if my servants you would be, obey my word and follow me.” Topics: Communion; Discipleship; Holy Thursday; Humility; Jesus Christ Life of; Journey to the Cross; Obedience; Service Scripture: John 13:1-30 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD Text Sources: A Selection of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs (Mennonite, USA), 1847, alt.

I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I asked the Lord that I might grow in faith and love and ev'ry grace; might more of his salvation know, and seek more earnestly his face. 2 ’Twas he who taught me thus to pray, and he, I trust, has answered pray'r, but it has been in such a way as almost drove me to despair. 3 I hoped that in some favored hour at once he’d answer my request, and by his love’s constraining pow’r subdue my sins and give me rest. 4 Instead of this he made me feel the hidden evils of my heart, and let the angry pow’rs of hell assault my soul in ev'ry part. 5 Yea more, with his own hand he seemed intent to aggravate my woe, crossed all the fair designs I schemed, humbled my heart, and laid me low. 6 "Lord, why is this?" I, trembling, cried; "Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?" "Tis in this way," the Lord replied, "I answer prayer for grace and faith. 7 "These inward trials I employ from self and pride to set thee free, and break thy schemes of earthly joy that thou may’st find thy all in me."

Thy works with sovereign glory shine, And speak Thy majesty divine; Let us upon all shores proclaim [originally, Let Britain round her shores proclaim] The sound and honor of Thy name. 5. Let distant times and nations raise The long succession of Thy praise, And unborn ages make my song The joy and labor of their tongue. 6. But who can speak Thy wondrous deeds?
