Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet

Author: Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 235 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:3-4 Lyrics: 1 Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet, A guilty rebel lies; And upward to thy mercy-seat Presumes to lift his eyes. 2 Let not thy justice frown me hence: Oh, stay the vengeful storm: Forbid it, that omnipotence Should crush a feeble worm. 3 If tears of sorrow could suffice To pay the debt I owe, Tears should from both my weeping eyes In ceaseless currents flow. 4 But no such sacrifice I plead To expiate my guilt; No tears, but those which thou has shed, No blood, but thou hast spilt. 5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord, And all my sins forgive; Then justice will approve the word That bids the sinner live.

How helpless fallen nature lies

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 232 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:10 Lyrics: 1 How helpless fallen nature lies, Unconscious of her load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught beneath a power divine A stubborn will subdue? 'Tis thine, eternal Spirit, thine To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine the passions to recall, And bid them upward rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes;-- 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live: A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 5 Renew these wretched hearts of ours; Oh, give us life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be thine. Topics: The Christian System Human Depravity; Need of Spiritual Renovation

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Faith is the brightest evidence

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: Faith is the brightest evidence Of things beyond our sight, Breaks through the clouds of flesh and sense, And dwells in heav'nly light. It sets times past in present view, Brings distant prospects home, Of things a thousand years ago, Or thousand years to come.

He sought a city fair and high, Built by th' eternal hands, And faith assures us, though we die, That heav'nly building stands.

Christ and his cross is all our theme

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: Christ and his cross is all our theme; The myst'ries that we speak Are scandal in the Jew's esteem, And folly to the Greek. But souls enlightened from above With joy receive the word; They see what wisdom, power, and love Shine in their dying Lord. The vital savor of his name Restores their fainting breath; But unbelief perverts the same To guilt, despair, and death. Till God diffuse his graces down, Like showers of heav'nly rain, In vain Apollos sows the ground, And Paul may plant in vain.
