Blessed night, when first that plain
All is ready for the Feast!
Author: Frederick Pratt Green (1903-2000) Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All is ready for the Feast!
Every Jew is wondering how
God will liberate them now.
2 Pilate, fearful of revolt
he, at all costs, must avert,
puts the Legion on alert.
3 Listen! Galilean crowds
hail the Man from Nazareth,
Jesus, riding to his death.
4 What authority he wields!
With a whip of cords he clears
temple courts of profiteers!
5 Watched by priests and pharisees,
all he says and all he does
fans the hatred of his foes.
6 Now he gathers those he loves
in a room where bread and wine
turn to sacrament and sign.
7 In that dark betrayal night,
moved by hope, or fear or greed,
Judas sets about his deed.
8 Jesus in the olive grove,
waiting for a traitor's kiss,
rises free from bitterness.
9 As he wakes his comrades up
torches flicker in the glen,
shadows turn to marching men.
10 In that dawn of blows and lies
Church and State conspire to kill,
hang three rebels on a hill.
11 Innocent and guilty drown
in a flood of blood and sweat,
how much darker can it get?
12 How much darker must it be
for a God to see and care
that men perish in despair?
13 It is God himself who dies!
God in man shall set us free,
God as Man - and only he.
14 Let him claim us as his own,
we will serve as best we can
such a God and such a Man!
Final verse:
15 What does our salvation cost?
Jesus, we shall never know
all you gave and all we owe. Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christian Year Holy Week Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Used With Tune: HEILIGER GEIST
All is ready for the Feast!
Jesu, to Thy table led
Author: R. H. Baynes Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu, to Thy table led,
Now let every heart be fed
With the true and living bread.
2 While in penitence we kneel,
Thy blest presence let us feel,
All Thy wondrous love reveal.
3 While on Thy dear cross we gaze,
Mourning o'er our sinful ways,
Turn our sadness into praise.
4 When we taste the mystic wine,
Of Thine outpoured blood the sign;
Fill our hearts with love divine.
5 Draw us to Thy wounded side,
Whence there flowed the healing tide;
There our sins and sorrows hide.
6 From the bonds of sin release,
Cold and wavering faith increase;
Lamb of God, grant us Thy peace.
7 Lead us by Thy piercèd hand,
Till around Thy throne we stand
In the bright and better land.
Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: LACRYMAE

Heal the wounded of its pain.

Steadfast in the faith to be,
Give Thy gift of charity.

And in death find happiness,
And abide with Thee in bliss! Used With Tune: ST. PHILIP Text Sources: Versuch eines allgemeinen evangelischen Gesang- und Gebetbuchs, 1833; Lyra Germanica, second edition, 1856

And hast taught us how to say,
Abba, Father! when we pray.

Helping our infirmity,
Aid us in our feeble cry.

But there stands within the veil
One who ever doth prevail.
