A broken heart, O Lord! Thou never wilt despise

Author: Raffles Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, O Lord! Thou never wilt despise; 'Tis written in thy word, This is the sacrifice: The sacrifice that thou wilt own-- It is the broken heart alone. 2 Break thou my heart, O Lord! The rock within me break; To tremble at thy word, And at thine anger quake: Let me in deep contrition lie, And heave the penitential sigh. 3 For mercy dwells with thee-- Compassion, all divine; That mercy show to me; Be that compassion mine: For sinners did not Jesus bleed? And Jesus' blood alone I plead. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; The Sacrifices of God are a Broken Spirit Scripture: Psalm 51

When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou, who changest not, abide with me! 3 I need thy presence every passing hour: What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 4 Not a brief glance I long, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord,-- Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but t' abide with me.

On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, It is finished! Sinners, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name; Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises; The Invitation Scripture: Isaiah 45:22
