'Tis Midnight, and on Olive's Brow
Author: William B. Tappan, 1794-1849 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 667 hymnals Topics: Darkness First Line: ’Tis midnight, and on Olive's brow Lyrics: 1 ’Tis midnight, and on Olive’s brow
the star is dimmed that lately shone;
’tis midnight in the garden now;
the suff'ring Savior prays alone.
2 ’Tis midnight, and from all removed,
the Savior wrestles lone with fears:
e’en the disciple that he loved
heeds not his Master’s grief and tears.
3 ’Tis midnight, and for others’ guilt
the Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
yet he that hath in anguish knelt
is not forsaken by his God.
4 ’Tis midnight, and from heavenly plains
is borne the song that angels know;
unheard by mortals are the strains
that sweetly soothe the Savior’s woe. Scripture: Mark 14:31-36 Used With Tune: OLIVE'S BROW

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
Author: Henry Van Dyke, 1852-1933 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 273 hymnals Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore thee,
God of glory, Lord of love;
hearts unfold like flow'rs before thee,
praising thee their sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day!
2 All thy works with joy surround thee;
earth and heav'n reflect thy rays.
Stars and angels sing around thee,
center of unbroken praise:
field and forest, vale and mountain,
bloss'ming meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain
call us to rejoice in thee.
3 Thou art giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
well-spring of the joy of giving,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our brother—
all who live in love are thine;
teach us how to love each other;
lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals, join the happy chorus
which the morning stars began;
Love divine is reigning o'er us,
joining all within its span.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife:
joyful music leads us Sunward
in the triumph song of life. Scripture: Psalm 148 Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Such Perfect Love My Shepherd Shows

whose goodness fails me never,
whose hand all things I need bestows
and watches me forever.

my loving Shepherd leads me,
and where the verdant pastures grow
with food from heaven feeds me.

you, faithful Shepherd, sought me,
and on your shoulder gently laid,
then home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 I do not fear death's shadowed vale
when you are here beside me;
your rod and staff and strength prevail
to comfort and to guide me.
5 You spread a table in my sight,
your gifts of grace bestowing;
and from your chalice I delight
to taste your mercy flowing.
6 And so through all the length of days
your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
within your house forever. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: DOMINUS REGIT ME
