Jesus, Wonderful Lord Ambassador Hymnal #60

Born among cattle, in poverty sore, Living in meekness by Galilee’s shore, Dying in shame as the wicked ones swore: Jesus, wonderful Lord!

Refrain: Wonderful, wonderful Jesus! He is my friend, true to the end; He gave Himself to redeem me— Jesus, wonderful Lord!

Weary—yet He is the world’s only rest, Hungry and thirsty with plenty has blest, Tempted He promises grace for each test: Jesus, wonderful Lord!

Refrain: Wonderful, wonderful Jesus! He is my friend, true to the end; He gave Himself to redeem me— Jesus, wonderful Lord!

Friend of the friendless—betrayed and denied, Help of the weak—in Gethsemane cried, Light of the world—in gross darkness He died: Jesus, wonderful Lord!

Refrain: Wonderful, wonderful Jesus! He is my friend, true to the end; He gave Himself to redeem me— Jesus, wonderful Lord!

Mark 14:32-42 Revelation 3:1-6

Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only- begotten Son of God, Begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God, Begotten, not made,..

Nicene Creed Being of one substance with the Father, By Whom all things were made: Who for us, and for our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, And was made man; And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried;….

Nicene Creed..And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, And ascended into heaven, And is seated at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead: Whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit,…

Nicene Creed …,The Lord and Giver of Life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified, Who spoke by the Prophets. And I believe one holy Christian and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins…..

Nicene Creed …And I look for the Resurrection of the dead, And the Life of the world to come. AMEN.

Go to Dark Gethsemane Ambassador Hymnal #65

Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter’s power; Your Redeemer’s conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.

Follow to the judgment-hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff’ring, shame or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross.

Calv’ry’s mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished,” hear the cry, Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom, Who hath taken Him away? Christ arose! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise.

In The Garden Ambassador Hymnal #548

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: 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.

I’d stay in the garden with Him Tho the night around me be falling; But He bids me go—thru the voice of woe, His voice to me is calling.

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.

The LORD’s Prayer Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread: And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us,

The LORD’s Prayer And lead us not into temptation; But deliver us from evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, And the glory, forever and ever. AMEN.
