It is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, fiercely sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! It is I." Amen.

Alas, My God! My Sins Are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius; Miss Catherine Winkworth Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath pow'r to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot: Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher; Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Repentance; Trinity, Nineteenth Sunday; Chastening Used With Tune: ACH GOTT UND HERR
