Hymn Context Compare
Merciful and loving,
Deeper far than thought can reach;
I am sweetly ent’ring in:
So too are we from self and sin made free.
’Tis the breaking, not the keeping—
Pour my life out that others be blessèd,
What Thy love has done reviewing,
Comforting us in a personal way.
’Tis midnight in the garden now,
’Tis midnight in the garden now,
And glory of God combine.
But by grace alone,
The fruit of love divine.
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
You love them.
I completely would obey Him,
Are these the consecrated road?
All-sufficient Burden-bearer, grace through weakness is increased;
But hunger and much anxious care.
Hindrances and trials would come when we walk with the Lord,

suff’ring

All for us, the sinners,
Far beyond all tongues to teach.
To His death conformed to be,
Unto Thy throne above,
A life loving and true comfort giving.
None to pity me or care for me,
Bread and cup in separation,
Christ the Comfort abounds.
’Tis midnight, and from all removed,
’Tis midnight, and from all removed,
Effectiveness of His death,
To Thine image grown.
How does the thought our spirits cheer,
And I love that old cross where the Dearest and Best
And I was never the same.
If the Lord will save and keep me,
Forbid it I should e’er repine;
Multiplying grace, o’erflowing, from the throne of grace proceeds,
My Christ came and saved me from there.
And be exposed through testing, thus purged and purified.
