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!"

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. Used With Tune: REDHEAD 76

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. Topics: Watchfulness; The Christian Life Conflict With Sin Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT

Refrain: Down in the garden hear the mournful sound, There in the darkness on the dewy ground, While the watchers they were sleeping, Was Jesus praying, weeping, Was Jesus praying, weeping. 2 With nature’s mantle, night’s dark pall, Beneath those garden trees, He wrestled nobly for us all, From sin, man to release. [Refrain] 3 Sin’s loathsome weight He bore in sweat, That oozed in bloody flow; Ignoble shame was His, and yet He meekly suffered so. [Refrain] 4 For sinful mortals, rich and poor, He fought hell’s legions fierce; Abased, He won the vict’ry sure, Though pangs His soul did pierce.
