Come Unto Me

Appears in 279 hymnals First Line: Come unto me when shadows darkly gather Lyrics: 1 Come unto me when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed. Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father; Come unto me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned. 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father's dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed: Come unto me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto me, and I will give you rest. Used With Tune: [Come unto me when shadows darkly gather]

As Pants the Hart

Author: Anon. Appears in 70 hymnals First Line: As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs, That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase, So pants my soul for thee, great King of kings, So thirsts to reach thy sacred dwelling place. 2 Lord, thy sure mercies, ever in my sight, My heart shall gladden thro' the tedious day; And 'midst the dark and gloomy shades of night, To thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay. 3 Why faint my soul? why doubt Jehovah's aid? Thy God the God of mercy still shall prove; Within his courts thy thanks shall yet be paid; Unquestioned be his faithfulness and love.

This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping

Author: Peter Abelard, 1079-1142; Richard Sturch, b. 1936 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping, when powers of darkness overcome the day, the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil whereby our sins the Son of Man betray. 2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold, betrays himself into his victim’s will, the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing, sin brings about the cure for sin’s own ill. 3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper, blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind; this night injustice joins its hand to treason’s, and buys the ransom-price of humankind. 4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested, he who destroys our slavery to sin; accused of crime, to criminals be given, that judgement on the righteous Judge begin. 5 O make us sharers, Saviour, of your Passion, that we may share your glory that shall be; let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow to Easter’s laughter and its liberty.
