Second: Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:7-9 -In Jesus we have the supreme High Priest, who learnt to obey through suffering.
Gospel: John 18:1 - 19:42 - The Passion: Jesus leaving he garden, telling the soldiers he was the one being looked for, arrested, denied three times by Peter, taken before the High Priest and then Pilate, crucified, handing Mary into John's care, dying, having his side pierced, being laid in the tomb.
All ye who Seek a Comfort Sure
At the Cross her Station Keeping
Glory be to Jesus
Go to Dark Gethsemane
Jesus Walked this Lonesome Valley
Let all that is Within Me Cry "Holy"
My God I Love Thee
My Song is Love Unknown
O Come and Mourn with Me Awhile
O Cross of Christ, Immortal Tree (omit the last verse)
