John 12:3

• [Joh 12:3] Lord, When In Simon’s House Of Yore

  Lord, when in Simon’s house of yore, Thou with Thy friends didst sit at meat, Mary the precious spikenard bore, And poured it at Thy sacred feet. Like incense sweet, the perfume rare, Rose through the house, and sought the skies; And Thou didst own with blessing there A woman’s loving sacrifice. So unto Thee, O Lord, this day, A year of labor here we bring; So at Thy feet the gift we lay; Accept, O Lord, the offering.

• [Joh 12:3] Master, No Offering Costly And Sweet

  Master, no offering costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, lay at Thy feet; Yet may love’s incense rise, sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord to Thee, dear Lord to Thee. Daily our lives would show weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways brightened by song; Some deeds of kindness done, some souls by patience won, Dear Lord to Thee, dear Lord to Thee. Some word of hope for hearts burdened with fears, Some balm of peace for eyes blinded with tears, Some dews of mercy shed, some wayward footsteps led, Dear Lord to Thee, dear Lord to Thee. Thus, in Thy service, Lord, till eventide Closes the day of life may we abide; And when earth’s labors cease, bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord to Thee, dear Lord to Thee.

John 18:36-37

• [Joh 18:36] How Vain The Cruel Herod’s Fear

  How vain the cruel Herod’s fear, When told that Christ the King is near! He takes not earthly realms away, Who gives the realms that ne’er decay. The Eastern sages saw from far And followed on His guiding star; By light their way to Light they trod, And by their gifts confessed their God. Within the Jordan’s sacred flood The heavenly Lamb in meekness stood, That He to Whom no sin was known, Might cleanse His people from their own. And oh, what miracle divine, When water reddened into wine! He spake the word, and forth it flowed In streams that nature ne’er bestowed. All glory, Jesu, be to Thee For this Thy glad Epiphany: Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost forevermore.

• [Joh 18:36] When Christ’s Appearing Was Made Known

  When Christ’s appearing was made known, King Herod trembled for his throne; But He Who offers heavenly birth Sought not the kingdom of this earth. The eastern sages saw from far And followed on His guiding star; By light their way to Light they trod, And by their gifts confessed their God. Within the Jordan’s sacred flood The heavenly Lamb in meekness stood, That He, to Whom no sin was known, Might cleanse His people from their own. And O what miracle divine, When water reddened into wine! He spake the word, and forth it flowed In streams that nature ne’er bestowed. All glory, Jesus, be to Thee For this Thy glad epiphany: Whom with the Father we adore And Holy Ghost forevermore.

• [Joh 18:36] Why, Herod, Unrelenting Foe

  Why, Herod, unrelenting foe, Doth the Lord’s coming move thee so? He doth no earthly kingdom seek Who brings His kingdom to the meek. Led by the star, the wise men find The Light that lightens all mankind; The threefold presents which they bring Declare Him God, and Man, and King. In Jordan’s sacred waters stood The meek and heavenly Lamb of God, And He who did no sin, thereby Cleansed us from all iniquity! And now a miracle was done: Six water pots stood there of stone; Christ spake the word with power divine, The water reddened into wine. All honor unto Christ be paid, Pure offspring of the holy maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.

• [Joh 18:36] Why, Impious Herod, Shouldst Thou Fear

  Why, impious Herod, shouldst thou fear Because the Christ is come so near? He Who doth heavenly kingdoms grant Thine earthly realm can never want. Lo, sages from the East are gone To where the star hath newly shone: Led on by light to Light they press, And by their gifts their God confess. The Lamb of God is manifest Again in Jordan’s water blest, And He Who sin had never known By washing hath our sins undone. Yet He that ruleth everything Can change the nature of the spring, And gives at Cana this for sign— The water reddens into wine. Then glory, Lord, to Thee we pay For thine Epiphany today; All glory through eternity To Father, Son, and Spirit be.

John 20:15

• [Joh 20:15] In The Garden

  I come to the garden alone While the dew is still on the roses And the voice I hear falling on my ear The Son of God discloses. Refrain And He walks with me, and He talks with me, And He tells me I am His own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, None other has ever known. He speaks, and the sound of His voice, Is so sweet the birds hush their singing, And the melody that He gave to me Within my heart is ringing. Refrain I’d stay in the garden with Him Though the night around me be falling, But He bids me go; through the voice of woe His voice to me is calling. Refrain

• [Joh 20:15] Morning Red

  Morning red, morning red, Now the shadows all are fled; Now the Sabbath’s cloudless glory, Tells anew the wondrous story, Christ is risen from the dead. All around, all around, Solemn silence reigned profound; When, with blaze and sudden thunder, Angels burst the tomb asunder, And the Savior was unbound. Forth He came! Forth He came! Robed in white, celestial flame! Mary, at the empty prison, Knew not her Redeemer risen Till He called her by her name. Morning red! Morning red! Christ is risen from the dead! Still He walketh in the garden, Speaking words of love and pardon. Though the crown is on His head.

John 20:19

• [Joh 20:19] When Sinners See Their Lost Condition

  When sinners see their lost condition And feel the pressing load of sin, And Jesus cometh on His mission To heal the sin-sick heart within, All grief must flee before His grace, And joy divine will take its place. When Jesus enters meek and lowly To fill the home with sweetest peace; When hearts have felt His blessing holy And found from sin complete release, Then light and calm within shall reign And hearts divided love again. When Jesus enters land and nation And moves the people with His love; When, yielding to His kind persuasion, Our hearts His truth and blessing prove, Then shall our life on earth be blest, The peace of God on us shall rest. When Jesus comes—O blessèd story!— He works a change in heart and life; God’s kingdom comes with pow’r and glory To young and old, to man and wife; Thro’ sacrament and living Word, Faith, love, and hope are now conferred. Then stilled are cries and lamentation, Then loosed is Satan’s every band; In death is hope and consolation, The soul is safe in Jesus’ hand. When we shall walk through death’s dark vale, His rod and staff shall never fail. Oh, may He soon to every nation Find entrance where He is unknown, With life and light and full salvation, That heathendom may be o’erthrown And healing to the hearts may come In heathen land and Christian home!
