1 Go to dark Gethsemane, 7s, 61. Ye that feel the tempter's power; Watch with him one bitter hour; View the Lord of life arraigned; Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; God's own sacrifice complete : 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid his breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom, ? Who hath taken him away Christ is risen ;-he meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise! 1 He knelt: the Saviour knelt and prayed, 2 The sun set in a fearful hour, The skies might well grow dim, So to o'ershadow him! That he who gave man's breath, might know The very depths of human woc. 3 He knew them all; the doubt, the strife, The faint, perplexing dread, The mists that hang o'er parting life, All darkened round his head; And the Deliverer knelt to pray ;— Yet passed it not, that cup, away. 4 It passed not, though the stormy wave Had sunk beneath his tread; It passed not, tho' to him the grave Had yielded up its dead: 1 BEHOLD the Man! How glorious he! 2 Behold the Man! by all condemned, 5 322. John 19:33. 2 "It is finished !"-oh, what pleasure Do these charming words afford! Heavenly blessings, without measure, Flow to us through Christ, the Lord: "It is finished !" Saints! the dying words record. 3 Tune your harps anew, ye seraphs! Join to sing the pleasing theme: All in earth and heaven, uniting, Join to praise Immanuel's name: Hallelujah! Glory to the bleeding Lamb! 1 DARKLY rose the guilty morning 2 Not the crowd, whose cries assailed him, Not the hands, that rudely nailed him, Slew him on the cursed tree; Ours the sin, from heaven that called him! 3 In our wealth and tribulation, 3 Conscious of the deed unholy, Nature's pulses beat more slowly, And the sun his light denied; Darkness wrapped the sacred city, And the earth with fear and pity Trembled, when the Just One died. 4 It is finished, Man of sorrows! From thy cross our nature borrows Strength to bear and conquer thus; 5 Not in vain for us uplifted, 326. May it guide us still to thee. Luke 24:46. L. M. 327. 1 HE dies-the friend of sinners dies; Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness vails the skies; A sudden trembling shakes the ground. 2 Here's love and grief beyond degree: The Lord of glory dies for men; But lo! what sudden joys we see, Jesus, the dead, revives again. 3 The rising God forsakes the tomb; Up to his Father's court he flies; Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliverer reigns; Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell, And led the tyrant Death in chains. 5 Say-live forever, glorious King, Born to redeem, and strong to save! Where now, O Death, where is thy sting? And where thy victory, boasting Grave? LENOX. H. M. 1. Come ev'ry pious heart, That loves the Saviour's name! Your noblest powers ex 9: Tell all above, And all below, Tell all above, And all be- low, The debt of love To him you owe. 1 BLOW ye the trumpet, blow! To earth's remotest bound, 2 Exalt the Lamb of God, The sin-atoning Lamb! Through every land, proclaim: 3 Ye slaves of sin and hell! And blest in Jesus live: 4 The gospel trumpet hear, The news of pardoning grace: 5 Jesus, our great High Priest, Ye mourning souls be glad : 2 His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o'er earth and heaven, Are to our Jesus given; 3 He all his foes shall quell, 4 Rejoice in glorious hope! Jesus, the Judge, shall come, We soon shall hear the archangel's voice, 1 OUR Lord is risen from the dead, And angels chant the solemn lay :- 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, The Lord who all our foes o'ercame; 5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay :"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates! Ye everlasting doors! give way." 6 Who is the King of glory-who? The Lord of boundless power possessed; The King of saints and angels, too, God over all, forever blessed. 1334. Rev. 5: 12. 1 WORTHY the Lamb of boundless sway 1 WHAT equal honors shall we bring 2 Worthy is he that once was slain, 3 Honor immortal must be paid Instead of scandal and of scorn; Who bore the curse for wretched men : |
