Th'abyss of many a former sin
Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Th' abyss of many a former sin
Encloses me and bears me in:
Like billows my transgressions roll:
Be Thou the Pilot of my soul;
And to salvation’s harbor bring,
Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King!
2 My Father’s heritage abused,
Wasted by lust, by sin misused;
To shame and want and mis'ry brought,
The slave to many a godless thought,
I cry to Thee, who lovest men,
O pity and receive again!
3 In hunger now and dispossessed
Of that my portion bright and blessed,
The exile and the alien see,
Who yet would fain return to Thee.
Accept me Lord, I seek Thy grace,
And let me see a Father's face.
4 With that saved thief my prayer I make,
Remember for Thy mercy’s sake!
With that poor publican I cry,
Be Merciful, O God most high!
With that lost Prodigal I fain
Back to my home would turn again!
5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care,
And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:—
O Thou, who freely wast made poor,
My sorrows and my sins to cure,
Me, poor of all good works, embrace,
Enriching with Thy boundless grace! Topics: The Catechism Repentance Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place
Through all the ages of our race;
Before the mountains had their birth
Or ever Thou hadst formed the earth,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To everlasting our abode.
2 O teach Thou us to count our days
And set our hearts on wisdom's ways;
Turn, Lord, to us in our distress,
In pity now Thy servants bless;
Let mercy's dawn dispel our night,
And all our day with joy be bright.
3 O send the day of joy and light,
For long has been our sorrow's night;
Afflicted through the weary years,
We wait until Thy help appears;
With us and with our sons abide,
In us let God be glorified.
4 So let there be on us bestowed
The beauty of the Lord our God;
The work accomplished by our hand
Establish Thou, and make it stand;
Yea, let our hopeful labor be
Established evermore by Thee.
Amen. Topics: Aspiration; Commitment; God Eternity and Power; God Guide; God Will, Doing His; God the Father His Eternity and Power Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

O Jesus, Source of Calm Repose
Author: Johann Anastasius Freylinghausen Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Source of calm repose,
Thy like no man nor angel knows,
Fairest among ten thousand fair!
E'en those whom death's sad fetters bound,
Whom thickest darkness compassed round,
Find light and life, if Thou appear.
2 Renew Thine image, Lord, in me,
Lowly and gentle may I be;
No charms but these are to Thee dear:
No anger may'st Thou ever find,
No pride, in my unruffled mind,
But faith and heaven-born peace, be there.
3 A patient, a victorious mind
That life and all things cast behind,
Springs forth obedient to Thy call,
A heart that no desire can move,
But still to praise, believe, and love,
Give me, my Lord, my Life, my All!
Amen.

Author: Anonymous Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: "Perfect in love!"—Lord, can it be Lyrics: 1 "Perfect in love!"—Lord, can it be,

Amidst the clouds of dark dismay,
Arise! arise! shed forth Thy light,

Leaving Her Water Jar Behind
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Leaving her water jar behind,
The woman ran from Jacob's well;
Her daily chores had fled her mind,
For she had wondrous news to tell:
Forsaking what had drawn her first.
She quenched instead a deeper thirst.
2 "Come, see a man who told me all
That I have ever claimed or done!
Such wisdom from his lips did fall!
Could this be God's Anointed One?"
Her neighbors heard, then with her ran
To meet this wise and holy man.
3 When Jesus spoke, his words brought life,
Like water poured on shriveled seed:
His truth as piercing as a knife,
His grace yet greater than their need.
So they prevailed on him to stay
And teach them more another day.
4 By all the wells of our own day,
This Jesus waits to meet us still,
Where our pretenses fall away
When we ask him our lives to fill.
Come with your thirsty heart and mind:
You too may leave your jar behind. Topics: Christian Initiation / Baptism; Lent III A Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics:
Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows:
I see from far thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for thy repose:
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it find rest in thee.
Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in thee.
O hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me, may live!
My base affections crucify,
Nor let one favourite sin survive;
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but thee.
Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits thy call!
Speak to my inmost soul, and say
I am thy love, thy God, thy all!
To feel thy power, to hear thy voice,
To taste thy love, be all my choice!
Amen.

O Love Divine, What Hast Thou Done!
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 150 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love divine! what hast thou done!
The incarnate God hath died for me!
The Father's co-eternal Son,
Bore all my sins upon the tree!
The Son of God for me hath died:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified.
2 Behold Him, all ye that pass by,–
The bleeding Prince of life and peace!
Come, sinners, see your Saviour die,
And say, was ever grief like His?
Come, feel with me His blood applied:
My Lord, my Love, is crucified:
3 Is crucified for me and you,
To bring us rebels back to God:
Believe, believe the record true,
Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood;
Pardon for all flows from His side:
My Lord, my love, is crucified.
4 Then let us sit beneath His cross,
And gladly catch the healing stream:
All things for Him account but loss,
And give up all our hearts to Him:
Of nothing think or speak beside,–
The Lord, my Love is crucified.
AMEN. Topics: Christ's Passion Used With Tune: ST CATHERINE
