LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXLIII (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 LORD, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry Thy wonted Audience lend; In thy accustom'd Faith and Truth, A gracious Answer send, Nor to thy Justice bring Thy servant strictly to be try'd; For no frail mortal Man Can in thy Sight be justify'd, 2 The spiteful Foe pursues my Life, Whose Comforts all are fled; He drives me into Caves as dark As Mansions of the Dead. My Spirit is o'erwhelm'd, And therefore sinks within my Breast; My Heart grows desolate, With heavy Woes too much oppress'd. 3 I call to mind the Days of old, And Wonders thou hast wrought, My former Dangers and Escapes Employ my musing Thought. To thee my in humble Pray'r, My Hands I fervently stretch out; My Soul for Comfort thirsts, Like Land oppress'd with constant Drought. 4 Hear me with Speed, my Spirit fails, Thy Face no longer hide; Lest I become forlorn, like them That in the Grave reside. Thy Kindness let me hear, Whose Trust on thee alone depends; Teach me thy perfect Way, For still my Soul to thee ascends. 5 Do thou, O LORD, from all my Foes, Preserve, and set me free; A safe Retreat against their Rage, My Soul implores from thee. Thy righteous Will, O GOD, Instruct me ever to obey; Let thy good Spirit lead And keep my Soul in thy right Way. 6 Oh, for the sake of thy great Name, Revive my drooping Heart: For thy Truth's sake, to me distress'd, Thy promis'd Aid impart. In Pity to my Grief, Do thou reduce my Foes to shame; Slay them that vex my Soul, Devoted to thy holy Name. Scripture: Psalm 143 Languages: English Tune Title: [Lord, hear my Pray'r, and to my Cry]

Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XXXIX (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways, I strove to keep my Tongue in Awe; And curb'd with Care, my hasty Words, When I the prosp'rous wicked saw; From good Discourse I did refrain, But that increas'd my inward Pain. 2 My Heart did glow, which working Thoughts, Did in my Bosom restless make; And warm Reflection fann'd the Fire, 'Till with my Tongue at last I spake: And thus with eager Zeal express'd, The Thought that labor'd in my Breast. 3 LORD, let me know my Term of Days, And show how soon my Life will end; The num'rous Train of Ills disclose, Which still on this frail State attend: A Span will measure all my Years, My Life but Vanity appears. 4 Man, like a Shadow, vainly walks, With fruitless Cares opprest; He heaps up Wealth, but cannot tell, By whom 'twill be possess'd' Why should I then on Toys attend, My Hopes on thee shall still depend. Part II 5 Forgive my Sins, nor let me scorn'd, By proud disdainful Sinners, be; I silent was, and murmur'd not, Because I saw 'twas done by thee. The Burden of thy Wrath remove, Lest my frail Flesh too weak should prove. 6 For when thou chast'nest Man for Sin, Thou mak'st his Beauty soon to fade; It wastes away ev'n like a Cloth, That is by fretting Moths decay'd: So vain in ev'ry earthly Joy, And Life itself is but a Toy. 7 LORD, hear my Cry, accept my Tears, And listen to my humble Pray'r, Who sojourn like a Stranger here, As all my Fore-fathers likewise were. Oh spare me, and my Strength restore, Before I shall be seen no more! Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: [Resolv'd to watch o'er all my Ways]

The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, LORD

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #XIX (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 The Heav'ns declare thy Glory, LORD, Which that, and that alone can fill; The Firmament and Stars express their great Creator's wond'rous Skill: Each Dawn fresh Beams of Knowledge brings, From ev'ry Night Instruction springs. 2 Their pow'rful Language to no Space, Or Realm, or Region is confin'd; 'Tis Nature's universal Voice, And understood by all Mankind: The Sun their Doctrines doth display, Where-e'er he darts his genial Ray. 3 No Bridegroom for his Nuptials dress'd, Can shew a more enliven'd Face; No Giant does like him rejoice, To run with Strength his glorious Race; In one unwearied Round he goes, And Light and Heat on all bestows. Part II 4 GOD's perfect Law converts the Soul, Reclaims the Heart from false Desires; With sacred Wisdom his pure Word The Weak and Ignorant inspires; The Statutes bring sincere Delight; His Word assists the feeblest Sight. 5 The Fear of GOD most perfect is, And shall for evermore endure; The Judgments of the LORD are true, Most just and altogether pure; More precious than fine Gold they are, And sweeter than the Honey far. 6 My trusty Counsellors they are, To me they friendly Warnings give: Divine Rewards attend on those, Who by thy Precepts live. But who can all his Errors see? From secret Faults, LORD, cleanse thou me! 7 Let no presumptuous Sin, O LORD! Obtain Dominion over me; That, by thy Grace preserv'd, I may Far from the great Transgression flee; So shall my Pray'r by thee be bless'd, And I in GOD my Saviour rest.

Thy dreadful Anger, LORD, restrain

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #VI (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Thy dreadful Anger, Lord, restrain, Nor let thy Wrath on me remain, For 'tis not to be borne: Oh, spare a Wretch forlorn. Instead of Justice, which I fear, Let me the Voice of Mercy hear. Who can the Stroke withstand, Of thine afflicting Hand? 2 Have Mercy LORD! for I grow faint, Oh listen to my sad Complaint! And as thou know'st my Grief, Vouchsafe a kind Relief. The Anguish of my aking Bones, Extort from me continual Groans; And thou alone can'st cure, The Torments I endure. 3 My anxious Soul is troubled Sore, Do thou oh LORD, my Peace restore; My Heart within my Breast, Can find no solid Rest: But LORD how long must I sustain These heavy woes? how long complain? To me in Mercy turn, Nor let thine Anger burn. 4 Thy wonted Goodness, LORD, extend; To me thy kind Assistance lend, For my unequall'd Grief, Oh send some quick Relief. And for thy wond'rous Mercy's sake, On my Distress some Pity take; Vouchsafe to make me whole, And ease my trouble Soul. 5 For after Death I can no more, Thy loving Kindness, LORD, implore, No more in Anthems raise, My Voice to sing thy Praise; None in the dreary Tomb confin'd, Who hath his fleeting Breath resign'd, Can thy great Deeds proclaim, And magnify thy name. 6 With Groaning faint, and tir'd with Pain, I cease not loudly to complain; My Nights in Grief I spend, In Grief that knows no End. My Tears that never cease to flow, Are Marks of undissembled Woe; From Anguish never free, No Hope of Ease I see. 7 My Sight grows dim, my Beauty fades, Old Age my tott'ring Fram invades, My feeble Eyelids close; My soul no comfort knows, Whilst I with ever anxious Care, My angry Foes insulting hear, Who daily me annoy, And my distress enjoy. on my insulting Foes. 8 Depart, ye Wicked, far from me, Ye shall no more my Sorrows see, Nor with exulting Voice, In all my Wrongs rejoice. For GOD, I find accepts my Tears, The LORD will soon dispel my Fears, He hears when I implore And will my Strength restore. 9 The LORD at length vouchsafes to hear, My mournful Cry, and humble Pray'r; My Life he will retrieve, My Soul from Death relieve; And those who wish'd my Fall to see, Shall soon with Shame confounded be, And know, with humbled Pride, That GOD is on my Side.

Thy mercy, Lord, extend to me

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #LI (1767) Topics: Prayers Of a Sinner to obtain Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Thy Mercy, Lord, extend to me, As thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppress'd with Loads of guilt, Thy wonted Mercy find: Wash off my foul Offence, And cleanse me from my Sin; For I confess my Crime, and see How very great my Guilt hath been. 2 Against thee, O my GOD, alone, And only in thy Sight, Have I transgress'd, and tho' condemn'd, Must own thy Judgment right: In Guilt each Part was form'd, Of all this sinful Frame; In Sin I was conceiv'd and born, The hapless Heir of Guilt and Shame. 3 Yet thou, whose ever searching Eye, Does inward Truth require, In secret did'st with Wisdom's Laws My tender Soul inspire. With Hyssop purge me, LORD, And so I clean shall be; I shall with Snow in Whiteness vie, When wahs'd and purify'd by thee. 4 Make me, O LORD, to hear with Joy, Thy kind forgiving Voice; That so the Bones which thou hast broke, May with fresh Strength rejoice. Blot out my crying Sins, Nor me in Anger view; Create in me a Heart that's clean, A just and upright Mind renew. Part II 5 Withdraw not thou thy Help, O LORD! Nor cast me from thy Sight; Nor let thy Holy Spirit take Its everlasting Flight. The Joy thy Favour gives, Let me again obtain; And thy free Spirit's firm Support, My feeble fainting Soul sustain. 6 So I thy just and righteous Ways To Sinners will impart; Whilst my Advice shall wicked Men, To thy just Laws convert. My Guilt of Blood remove, My Saviour and my GOD; And my glad Tongue shall loudly tell, Thy Truth and righteous Acts abroad. 7 Do thou, O LORD, unlock my Lips, With Sorrow clos'd, and Shame; So shall my Mouth thy wond'rous Praise, To all the World proclaim. Could Sacrifice atone, Whole Flocks and Herds should die; But on such Off'rings, LORD, thou do'st Disdain to cast a gracious Eye. 8 A humble Spirit is alone, By GOD most highly priz'd; By him a contrite broken Heart, Shall never be despis'd. Let Sion ever be Of thy good Will assur'd; Let thy own City flourish long, By strong and lofty Walls secur'd. 9 'Tis there the Righteous shall attend, And pleasing Tribute pay; And Sacrifice of choicest Kind, Upon thy Altar lay. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English Tune Title: [Thy mercy, Lord, extend to me]

God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #XC (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon; Christ Ransom; Sinful Despair; God ready to forgive; Pardon God ready to forgive First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

When in the hour of utmost need

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #16 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Forgiveness of Sin Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need We know not where to look for aid; When days and nights of anxious thought Nor help nor counsel yet have brought: 2 Then this our comfort is alone, That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, O faithful God, to Thee For rescue from our misery; 3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, Repenting sore with bitter sighs, And seek Thy pardon for our sin, And respite from our griefs within. 4 For Thou hast promised graciously To hear all those who cry to Thee, Through Him whose name alone is great, Our Saviour and our Advocate. 5 And thus we come, O God, to-day, And all our woes before Thee lay; For tried, afflicted, lo! we stand, Peril and foes on every hand. 6 Ah, hide not for our sins Thy face; Absolve us through Thy boundless grace; Be with us in our anguish still, Free us at last from every ill; 7 That so with all our hearts we may Once more our glad thanksgivings pay, And walk obedient to Thy Word, And now and ever praise Thee, Lord.

God the Lord is King: before him

Where the cherubim adore him, Sitteth he in royal state: He is holy; He is holy; Blessed, only Potentate! 2 God the Lord is King of glory, Zion, tell the world his fame; Ancient Israel, the story Of his faithfulness proclaim: He is holy; He is holy; Holy is his awful Name. 3 Laws divine to them were spoken From the pillar of the cloud; Sacred precepts, quickly broken! Fiercely then his vengeance flowed: He is holy; He is holy; To the dust their hearts were bowed. 4 But their Father God forgave them When they sought his face once more: Ever ready was to save them, Tenderly did he restore: He is holy; He is holy; We too will his grace implore.
