Mark 1:13

• [Mar 1:13] Awhile In Spirit, Lord, To Thee

  Awhile in spirit, Lord, to Thee Into the desert we would flee; Awhile upon the barren steep Our fast with Thee in spirit keep. Awhile from Thy temptation learn The daily snares of sin to spurn, And in our hearts to feel and own Man liveth not by bread alone. O Thou once tempted like as we, Thou knowest our infirmity; Be Thou our Helper in the strife, Be Thou our true, our inward Life. And while, at Thy command we pray, “Give us our bread from day to day,” May we with Thee, O Christ, be fed, Thou Word of God, Thou living Bread.

• [Mar 1:13] Forty Days And Forty Nights

  Forty days and forty nights Thou wast fasting in the wild; Forty days and forty nights Tempted, and yet undefiled. Sunbeams scorching all the day; Chilly dew-drops nightly shed; Prowling beasts about Thy way; Stones Thy pillow; earth Thy bed. Should not we Thy sorrow share And from worldly joys abstain, Fasting with unceasing prayer, Strong with Thee to suffer pain? Then if Satan on us press, Jesus, Savior, hear our call! Victor in the wilderness, Grant we may not faint nor fall! So shall we have peace divine: Holier gladness ours shall be; Round us, too, shall angels shine, Such as ministered to Thee. Keep, O keep us, Savior dear, Ever constant by Thy side; That with Thee we may appear At the eternal Eastertide.

• [Mar 1:13] The Glory Of These Forty Days

  The glory of these forty days We celebrate with songs of praise; For Christ, by Whom all things were made, Himself has fasted and has prayed. Alone and fasting Moses saw The loving God Who gave the law; And to Elijah, fasting, came The steeds and chariots of flame. So Daniel trained his mystic sight, Delivered from the lions’ might; And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became The herald of Messiah’s Name. Then grant us, Lord, like them to be Full oft in fast and prayer with Thee; Our spirits strengthen with Thy grace, And give us joy to see Thy face. O Father, Son, and Spirit blest, To thee be every prayer addressed, Who art in threefold Name adored, From age to age, the only Lord.

Mark 7:37

• [Mar 7:37] Now, In A Song Of Grateful Praise

  Now, in a song of grateful praise, To my dear Lord my voice I’ll raise; With all His saints I’ll join to tell— My Jesus has done all things well. Refrain Dear Jesus is the One I love, Oh, bless His Name! He died for me; His blood now cleanses me from sin, Dear Jesus now He sets me free. All worlds His glorious power confess, His wisdom all His works express; But oh! His love what tongue can tell? My Jesus has done all things well. Refrain How sovereign, powerful and free Has been His love to sinful me! He plucked me from the jaws of hell— My Jesus has done all things well. Refrain

Mark 10:47

• [Mar 10:47] Jesus Of Nazareth Passeth By

  What means this eager, anxious throng, Which moves with busy haste along— These wondrous gatherings day by day, What means this strange commotion, pray? In accents hushed the throng reply, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” In accents hushed the throng reply, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Who is this Jesus? why should He The city move so mightily? A passing stranger, has He skill To move the multitude at will? Again the stirring tones reply, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Again the stirring tones reply, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Jesus! ’tis He Who once below Man’s pathway trod, ’mid pain and woe; And burdened ones, where’er He came, Brought out their sick, and deaf and lame; The blind rejoiced to hear the cry, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” The blind rejoiced to hear the cry, “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Again He comes! From place to place His holy footprints we can trace; He pauseth at our threshold—nay, He enters—condescends to stay: Shall we not gladly raise the cry? “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Shall we not gladly raise the cry? “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Ho! all ye heavy laden, come! Here’s pardon, comfort, rest and home: Ye wand’rers from a Father’s face, Return, accept His proffered grace; Ye tempted ones, there’s refuge nigh: “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” Ye tempted ones, there’s refuge nigh: “Jesus of Nazareth passeth by.” But if you still His call refuse, And all His wondrous love abuse, Soon will He sadly from you turn, Your bitter prayer for pardon spurn, “Too late! too late!” will be the cry— “Jesus of Nazareth has passed by.” “Too late! too late!” will be the cry— “Jesus of Nazareth has passed by.”

Mark 14:22

• [Mar 14:22] Thy Table I Approach

  Thy table I approach, Dear Savior, hear my prayer; Oh, let no unrepented sin Prove hurtful to me there! Lo, I confess my sins And mourn their wretched bands; A contrite heart is sure to find Forgiveness at Thy hands. Thy body and Thy blood, Once slain and shed for me, Are taken here with mouth and soul, In blest reality. Search not how this takes place, This wondrous mystery; God can accomplish vastly more Than seemeth plain to Thee. Vouchsafe, O blessèd Lord, That earth and hell combined May ne’er about this sacrament Raise doubt within my mind. Oh, may I never fail To thank Thee day and night For Thy true body and true blood O God, my Peace and Light!

Mark 15:39

• [Mar 15:39] Lord Jesus, God And Man

  Lord Jesus, God and Man, For love of man a Child, The very God, yet born on earth Of Mary undefiled. Lord Jesus, God and Man, In this our festal day To Thee for precious gifts of grace Thy ransomed people pray. We pray for childlike hearts, For gentle, holy love, For strength to do Thy will below As angels do above. We pray for simple faith, For hope that never fails, For true communion evermore With all Thy blessèd saints. On friends around us here O let Thy blessing fall; We pray for grace to love them well, But Thee beyond them all. O joy to live for Thee! O joy in Thee to die! O very joy of joys to see Thy face eternally! Lord Jesus, God and Man, We praise Thee and adore, Who art with God the Father One, And Spirit evermore.
