Eternal Spirit, God of Truth

Author: Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, God of truth, our contrite hearts inspire; ignite a flame of heavenly love and feed the pure desire. O come to soothe the sorrowing mind with guilt and fear oppressed; O come to bid the dying live and give the weary rest. 2 Subdue the power of every sin and make our hearts your throne, that we in singleness of heart may worship God alone. Then with our spirits witness bear, O Spirit of our God, that we are children of the Lord, redeemed through Christ's own blood.

Not What My Hands Have Done

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul; not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load. 2 Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace; your power alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase. No other work but yours, no other blood will do; no strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through. 3 I praise the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; and with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine. My Lord has saved my life and freely pardon gives; I love because he first loved me, I live because he lives.

Your salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart. 3 So shall sinners be restored and return to you, their Lord; Savior, all my guilt remove, and my tongue shall sing your love; touch my silent lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall praise accord. 4 Not the formal sacrifice has acceptance in your eyes; broken hearts are in your sight more than sacrificial rite; contrite spirit, pleading cries, you, O God, will not despise. 5 Prosper Zion in your grace and her broken walls replace: then our righteous sacrifice shall delight your holy eyes; freewill offerings, gladly made, on your altar shall be laid.
