When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,056 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1. When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. 2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3. See, from his head, his hands, his feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down. Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4. Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM

Lord, when we bend before thy throne

Author: Joseph D. Carlyle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 330 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2 Our broken spirits, pitying, see; True penitence impart; Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; And not a thought our bosom share Which is not wholly Thine. 5 Let faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it, or denies. Amen. Used With Tune: [Lord, when we bend before Thy throne]

Penitential Prayers

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Penitence First Line: God be merciful to me Lyrics: 1 God be merciful to me, On Thy grace I rest my plea; Plenteous in compassion Thou, Blot out my transgressions now; Wash me, make me pure within, Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, Grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against Thy grace And provoked Thee to Thy face; I confess Thy judgment just, Speechless, I Thy mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; Thou desirest truth within. Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach Thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, Thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By Thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear Thy voice; From my sins O hide Thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace.

Author: John Morison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the God of love with contrite hearts return: our God is gracious, nor will leave the desolate to mourn. 2 God's voice commands the tempest forth, and stills the stormy wave; and though God's arm be strong to smite, 'tis also strong to save. 3 Long has the night of sorrow reigned; the dawn shall bring us light; God shall appear, and we shall rise with gladness at that sight. 4 As dew upon the tender herb diffusing fragrance round, as showers that usher in the spring and cheer the thirsty ground, 5 so shall God's presence bless our souls and shed a joyful light; that hallowed morn shall chase away the sorrows of the night.
