Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals First Line: When I the holy grave survey Lyrics: 1 When I the holy grave survey, Where once my Saviour deign'd to lie; I see fulfil'd what prophets say, And all the pow'r of death defy. 2 This empty tomb shall now proclaim How weak the bands of conquer'd death: Sweet pledge, that all who trust his name, Shall rise, and draw immortal breath! 3 Our surety freed, declares us free, For whose offences he was seiz'd: In his release, our own we see, And shout to view Jehovah pleas'd. 4 Jesus, once number'd with the dead, Unseals his eyes to sleep no more; And ever lives, their cause to plead, For whom the pains of death he bore. 5 Thy risen Lord, my soul behold; See the rich diadem he wears! Thou too shalt bear an harp of gold, To crown thy joy when he appears. 6 Tho' in the dust I lay my head, Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave My flesh forever with the dead, Nor lose thy children in the grave.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 422 hymnals First Line: With joy we meditate the grace Lyrics: 1 With joy we meditate the grace Of our High Priest above; His heart is made of tenderness, His bowels melt with love. 2 Touch'd with a sympathy within, He knows our feeble frame; He knows what sore temptations mean, For he has felt the same. 3 But spotless, innocent, and pure The great Redeemer stood, While Satan's fiery darts he bore, And did resist to blood. 4 He, in the days of feeble flesh Pour'd out his cries and tears. And in his measure feels afresh What ev.ry member bears. 5 He'll never quench the smoaking flax, But raise it to a flame: The bruised reed he never breaks, Nor scorns the meanest name. 6 Then let our humble faith address His mercy and his pow'r, We shall obtain deliv'ring grace In the distressing hour.

Jesus, in the Garden of Gethsemane

Meter: Irregular Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Jesus, bow'd down by mighty woe Lyrics: 1 Jesus, bow'd down by mighty woe, Unfelt, unknown, to all below, Except the Son of God; In agonistic pangs of soul, Drinks deep from wormwood's bitt'rest bowl, And sweats great drops of blood. 2 See, his disciples slumb'ring round; Nor pitying friend on earth is found; He treads the press alone: In vain to Heav'n he turns his eyes; No pardon waits him from the skies; His death it must atone. 3 "O Father hear! this cup remove— Save thou the darling of thy love, (The prostrate victim said) Yet not my will, but thine be done, Should that exted, to count thy Son, Amid the sleeping dead." 4 His earnest prayers, his deep'ning groans, Were heard before angelic thrones; Amazement wrapt the sky. "Go strengthen Christ," Jehovah said; Th' astonish'd Seraph bow'd his head, And left the realms on high. 5 Made strong in strength rene'd from heav'n, Jesus receives the cup as giv'n; Submiss, resign'd in all, He drink;—nor leaves a dreg behind; And bears away from human kind, The wormwood mix'd with gall.

That once despised man: O how immense the mystery; The Father of eternity Contracted to a span. 2 The fallen sons of men he took, As members written in his book, And did our state assume, That we with him, from sin set free, Pure, holy, undefil'd might be, And thus to glory come. 3 Lo! then a man was born again, Exempt from Adam's dreadful stain, And fully meet for heav'n: With him the fallen sons of earth Are born of God, this their new birth, Which grace to them has giv'n. 4 With Angel hosts we join to sing The Praises of our new born King, Our God incarnate bless, Whose holy, strange, mysterious birth, Brought heav'nly joys to sons of earth, With peace and righteousness.
