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.

To God My Earnest Voice I Raise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To God my earnest voice I raise, To God my voice imploring prays; Before His face my grief I show And tell my trouble and my woe. 2 When gloom and sorrow compass me, The path I take is known to Thee, And all the toils that foes do lay To snare Thy servant in his way. 3 O Lord, my Savior, now to Thee, Without a hope besides, I flee, To Thee, my shelter from the strife, My portion in the land of life. 4 Be Thou my help when troubles throng, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And thankful praises I will sing. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer and Intercession; Prayer Scripture: Psalm 142 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM OLD Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee, Thou art good; To them that find Thee, all in all. 3 We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread! And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see; Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light!

Loy, 1828-1915 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Gospel shows the Father's grace, Who sent His Son to save our race, Proclaims how Jesus lived and died That we might thus be justified. 2 It sets the Lamb before our eyes, Who made th'atoning sacrifice, And call the souls with guilt opprest To come and find eternal rest. 3 It brings the Savior's righteousness Our souls to robe in royal dress; From all our guilt it brings release And gives the troubled conscience peace. 4 It is the pow'r of God to save From sin and Satan and the grave; It works the faith, which firmly clings To all the treasures which it brings. 5 It bears to all the tidings glad And bids their hearts no more be sad; The heavy-laden souls it cheers And banishes their guilty fears. 6 May we in faith its tidings learn Nor thanklessly its blessings spurn; May we in faith its truth confess And praise the Lord our Righteousness!
