When in Our Music God Is Glorified
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:26 Lyrics: 1 When in our music God is glorified,
and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried,
"Alleluia!"
2 How often, making music, we have found
a new dimension in the world of sound,
as worship moved us to a more profound
alleluia!
3 So has the church, in liturgy and song,
in faith and love, through centuries of wrong,
borne witness to the truth in every tongue:
alleluia!
4 And did not Jesus sing a psalm that night
when utmost evil strove against the Light?
Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight:
alleluia!
5 Let every instrument be tuned for praise!
Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sing always,
"Alleluia!"

When in Our Music God Is Glorified
'Tis Midnight; and on Olive's Brow
Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 648 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:42 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,
Emmanuel 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; from the heav'nly plains
is borne the song that angels know:
unheard by mortals are the strains
that sweetly soothe the Savior's woe.

Go to Dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 507 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:32-42 Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
All that feel the tempter’s power;
Your Redeemer’s conflict see,
Watch with Him one bitter hour;
Turn not from His griefs away,
Learn from Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall;
View the Lord of Life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn from Christ to bear the cross.
3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at His feet,
Mark the miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished!” hear Him cry;
Learn from Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid His breathless clay:
All is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken Him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise.

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman (1801-1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 171 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:32-46 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail.
4 O generous love! that he who smote
in Man, for man, the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;
4 And in the garden secretly,
and on the Cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
5 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise, --
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week; Christian Year Maundy Thursday Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

Jesus Comes with Clouds Descending
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.4.7 Appears in 770 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:62 Lyrics: 1 Jesus comes with clouds descending;
See the Lamb for sinner slain!

Join to sing the glad refrain:
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign!

Robed in awesome majesty;
Those who jeered and mocked and sold You,
Pierced and nailed You to the tree,
Shamed and grieving, Shamed and grieving,
Shamed and grieving, Shall their true Messiah see.
3 Yes, Amen! Let all adore You
High on your eternal throne;
Crowns and empires fall before You,
Claim the kingdom for Your own:
Come, Lord Jesus, Come, Lord Jesus,
Come, Lord Jesus, Everlasting Christ, come down! Used With Tune: HELMSLEY

An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare
Author: Fred Pratt Green Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:15 Lyrics: An upper room did our Lord prepare
for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there.
to celebrate their Risen Friend.
A lasting gift Jesus gave his own:
to share his bread, his loving cup,
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his Cross shall lift us up.
And after Supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In him our joy shall be made complete--
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
No end there is! We depart in peace.
He loves beyond our uttermost:
In every room in our Father's house
he will be there as Lord and Host.

According to thy gracious word
Author: Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 551 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:22-25 Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord!
I will remember thee!
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember thee.
3 Remember thee, and all thy pains,
And all thy love to me?
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember thee.
4 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When thou shalt in thy kingdom come,
Jesus! remember me. Topics: The Christian Church The Lord's Supper; Remembering Christ

Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14:22-25 Lyrics: 1 Now, my tongue, the mystery telling
of the glorious body sing,
and the blood, all price excelling,
which the world's great Lord and King,
in a virgin's womb once dwelling,
shed for this world's ransoming.
2 That last night, at supper lying,
with the Twelve, his chosen band,
Jesus, with the law complying,
keeps the feast its rites demand;
then, more precious food supplying,
gives himself with his own hand.
3 Word-made-flesh! his word is making
earthly bread his flesh to be,
wine his blood; and all partaking
should from sinful thoughts be free.
Faith alone, sight's limits breaking,
show true hearts the mystery.
4 Therefore we, before him bending,
this great sacrament revere;
older rituals have their ending,
for the newer rite is here;
faith, our outward sense befriending,
makes our inner vision clear.
5 Unto God be praise and honour:
to the Father, to the Son,
to the mighty Spirit, glory,
ever Three and ever One:
power and glory in the highest
while eternal ages run. Amen. Topics: The Church Celebrates Holy Communion; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Jesus Word of God Used With Tune: PANGE LINGUA Text Sources: Alt. Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861
