When in Our Music God Is Glorified
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 10.10.10.4 Appears in 84 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:30 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
Go to Dark Gethsemane
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 506 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:36-39 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.

'Tis Midnight! and on Olive's Brow
Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 642 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:31-46 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 suffering Savior prays alone.
2 ’Tis midnight; and from all removed,
the Savior wrestles lone with fears;
e’en that disciple whom 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.

Matth. 26:26-29: 'Twas on that night, when doomed to know
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 62 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 First Line: 'Twas on that night, when doomed to know Lyrics:
’Twas on that night, when doomed to know
The eager rage of ev’ry foe,
That night in which he was betrayed,
The Saviour of the world took bread:
And, after thanks and glory giv’n
To him that rules in earth and heav’n,
That symbol of his flesh he broke,
And thus to all his foll’wers spoke:
My broken body thus I give
For you, for all; take, eat, and live;
And oft the sacred rite renew,
That brings my wondrous love to view.
Then in his hands the cup he raised,
And God anew he thanked and praised;
While kindness in his bosom glowed,
And from his lips salvation flowed:
My blood I thus pour forth, be cries,
To cleanse the soul in sin that lies;
In this the covenant is sealed,
And Heav’n’s eternal grace revealed.
With love to man this cup is fraught,
Let all partake the sacred draught;
Through latest ages let it pour,
In mem’ry of my dying hour.
Matth. 26:26-29: 'Twas on that night, when doomed to know
Watchfulness and Prayer
Author: Steel Appears in 247 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:41 First Line: Alas what hourly dangers rise Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To Heaven O let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears;
My weak resistance, ah! how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious GOD, in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid,
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Tho' trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, Increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirits up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 When ere temptations fright my heart,
Or lure my feet aside,
My God, thy powerful aid impart,
My guardian and my guide.
6 O keep me in thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee;
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee.

My Soul, Be on Your Guard
Author: George Heath Appears in 1,365 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on your guard,
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw you from the skies.
2 O watch and fight and pray,
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the vict'ry won,
Nor lay your armor down;
The work of faith will not be done
Till you obtain the crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring you to your God;
He'll take you at your parting breath,
To His divine abode.
Amen.

"My Lord, thy will be done."

give me thy people's bread,

let my soul feed upon;
and if all else should fail,
my Lord, thy will be done.
3 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
Though seen through many a tear,
let not my star of hope
grow dim or disappear.
Since thou on earth hast wept,
and sorrowed oft alone,
if I must weep with thee,
my Lord, thy will be done.
4 My Jesus, as thou wilt!
All shall be well for me;
each changing future scene
I gladly trust with thee.
Straight to my home above
I travel calmly on,
and sing, in life or death,
"My Lord, thy will be done."

2 O loving wisdom of our God!
when all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.

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.

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

think on your pity and your love unswerving,

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray
Author: Johann B. Freystein; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray,
from thy sleep awaken;
be not by the evil day
unawares o'ertaken.
For the foe, well we know,
oft his harvest reapeth
while the Christian sleepeth.
2 Watch against the devil's snares,
lest asleep he find thee;
for indeed no pains he spares
to deceive and blind thee.
Satan's prey oft are they
who secure are sleeping
and no watch are keeping.
3 Watch! Let not the wicked world
with its pow'r defeat thee.
Watch lest with her pomp unfurled
she betray and cheat thee.
Watch and see lest there be
faithless friends to charm thee,
who but seek to harm thee.
4 Watch against thyself, my soul,
lest with grace thou trifle;
let not self thy thoughts control
nor God's mercy stifle.
Pride and sin lurk within
all thy hopes to scatter;
heed not when they flatter.
5 But while watching, also pray
to the Lord unceasing.
He will free thee, be thy stay,
strength and faith increasing.
O Lord, bless in distress
and let nothing swerve me
from the will to serve thee.
