God of mercy! God of grace!

Author: John Taylor Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: Wandering from God Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace! Hear our penitential songs; Oh, restore Thy suppliant race, Thou to whom our praise belongs! 2 Deep regret for follies past, Talents wasted, time misspent; Hearts debased by worldly cares, Thankless for the blessings lent; 3 Foolish fears and fond desires; Vain regrets for things as vain; Lips too seldom taught to praise, Oft to murmur and complain; 4 These, and every secret fault, Filled with grief and shame, we own; Humbled at Thy feet we lie, Seeking pardon from Thy throne. Amen. Used With Tune: ESHTEMOA

O Sing Ye Hallelujah

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Wandering from God First Line: O sing ye Hallelujah! Lyrics: 1 O sing ye Hallelujah! ’Tis good our God to praise; ’Tis pleasant and becoming To Him our songs to raise; He builds the walls of Zion, He seeks her wandering sons, He binds their wounds and comforts the brokenhearted ones. 2 The starry hosts He numbers, He calls them all by name; His greatness and His wisdom His wondrous works proclaim; The meek He lifts to honor, He humbles sinful pride. Give thanks to Him and utter His praises far and wide. 3 The heavens with clouds He covers, He sends the cheering rain; The slopes of all the mountains He fills with grass and grain; To beast and bird His goodness their daily food supplies; He cares for all His creatures, Attentive to their cries. 4 No human power delights Him, No earthly pomp or pride; He loves the meek who fear Him and in His love confide; Then praise thy God, O Zion, His gracious aid confess; He gives thee peace and plenty, His gifts thy children bless. 5 He sends His swift commandment, And snow and ice enfold The world, and none are able To stand before His cold. Again He gives commandment; The winds of summer blow, The snow and ice are melted, Again the waters flow. 6 His statutes and His judgments He makes His people know; To them as to no others His grace He loves to show; For matchless grace and mercy Your grateful praises bring; To Him give thanks forever, And Hallelujah sing. Scripture: Psalm 147 Used With Tune: HARTFORD

Love only waits to forgive and forget; home, weary wanderers, home! Wonderful love, wonderful love dwells in the heart of the Father above. 4 Come to my heart, O thou wonderful love! Come and abide, come and abide, lifting my life till it rises above envy and falsehood and pride: seeking to be, seeking to be lowly and humble, a learner of thee. Used With Tune: WONDERFUL LOVE
