In mercy, not in wrath

Author: J. Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God; Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise, I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touched by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed, Oh, let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I forever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 Oh, come, ere life expire; Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave! 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfill Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Amen. Topics: General; Lent; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Thou Lord of all above

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of all above, And all below the sky, Before Thy feet I prostrate fall, And for Thy mercy cry. 2 Forgive my follies past, The crimes which I have done; Oh, bid a contrite sinner live, Through thine incarnate Son. 3 Guilt, like a heavy load, Upon my conscience lies; To Thee I make my sorrows known, And lift my weeping eyes. 4 The burden which I feel, Thou only canst remove; Display, O Lord, Thy pardoning grace, And Thine unbounded love. 5 One gracious look of thine Will ease my troubled breast; Oh, let me know my sins forgiven, And I shall then be blest.

My former hopes are fled

Author: William Cowper Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My former hopes are fled, My terror now begins; I feel, alas! that I am dead In trespasses and sins. 2 Ah! whither shall I fly? I hear the thunder roar; The law proclaims destruction nigh, And vengeance at the door. 3 When I review my ways, I dread impending doom Until a friendly whisper says "Flee from the wrath to come."

Author: John Wesley Appears in 527 hymnals First Line: Give to the winds thy fears Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears; Hope, and be undismayed; God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears; God shall lift up thy head. 2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 What though thou rulest not! Yet heaven, and earth, and hell Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 4 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work has wrought, That caused thy needless fear.
