Author: Epiphanius Wilson Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O hour of doom, Of heartfelt gloom, Why should there not be sighing? Soon shall God the Father’s Son In the tomb be lying. 2 Men’s sinful deed Has made to bleed This innocent, the lowly, Lest the wrath of righteousness Fall on heads unholy. 3 The Bridegroom see On Calvary, O bride of Christ is bleeding; On the altar-cross for thee Hear Him interceding! 4 The lips, whence sped Life to the dead, Silence now are keeping; Let the crowd about the cross Watch with wail and weeping. 5 O happy he Who constantly Thinks, with tears unnumbered, How the very Lord of lords ’Neath the death-pall slumbered. 6 O Jesu blest, My hope, my rest! Grant, with tears, I pray thee, I may live and I may die Yearning to obey Thee! Used With Tune: O TRAURIGKEIT Text Sources: The Academic Hymnal (New York: G. Schirmer, 1899)

Fast fades the day

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O watch and pray Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray, And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Every thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclined, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming!
