Lord, to Thee I make confession

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a234 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Lord, to Thee I make confession, I have sinned and gone astray, I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way. Forced at last to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors. 2 But from Thee how can I hide me, Thou, O god, art everywhere: Refuge from Thee is denied me, Or by land or sea or air; Nor death's darkness can enfold me So that Thou shouldst not behold me. 3 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me, Father, I will seek Thy face; Though Thy child I dare not call me, Yet receive me to Thy grace; Do not for my sins forsake me; Let not yet Thy wrath o'ertake me. 4 For Thy Son hath suffered for me, And the blood He shed for sin, That can heal me and restore me, Quench this burning fire within; 'Tis alone His cross can vanquish These dark fears and soothe this anguish. 5 Then on Him I cast my burden, Sink it in the depths below! Let me know thy gracious pardon, Wash me, make me white as snow. Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me only Thine forever! Topics: The Catechism Repentance Languages: English

Cast me not in wrath away

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a235 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Cast me not in wrath away, Stay Thy hot displeasure! God of grace, why wilt Thou slay? Mete not with just measure! I am frail: O, prevail Thou for me, atone me, Lamb of God, and own me. 2 In the pit who thinks of Thee? Who will there adore Thee? In Thy mercy save Thou me! That, for aye, before Thee, I may raise: Grateful praise For the grace that spared me, When sin death prepared me. 3 Father! let me taste Thy love, And Thy grace, dear Savior; Blessed Comforter above, Hallow my behavior: Be thou mine: And I Thine With the oil of gladness Soothe Thou all my sadness. 4 Praise, O Father, be for aye Thine on earth, in heaven; And like praises be alway, Savior, to Thee given. Holy Dove: God of love, Thou hast heard;--I bless Thee! Praise for aye address Thee. Topics: The Catechism Repentance Languages: English

Alas! my God! my sins are great

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a236 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Alas my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And though I flee, in my despair, In some low spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, Thy hand still hold and guide me. 3 Nay, Thee I seek!—I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 O curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chasting murmur. 5 Then deal with me as seems Thee best, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Savior share it.

Th'abyss of many a former sin

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a237 (1895) Lyrics: 1 The abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bears me in: Like billows my transgressions roll: Be Thou the Pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a godless thought, I cry to Thee, Who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now and dispossessed Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee. Accept me Lord!-- I seek Thy grace-- And let me see a Father's face. 4 With that saved thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God most high! With that lost Prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:— O Thou, who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

O God, Thou righteous, faithful Lord

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a238 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou righteous, faithful Lord, I have not kept Thy holy Word, But sinned, and oft offended Thee, Now I repent—it grieveth me! 2 Thou, Father, merciful and kind, No pleasure in my death dost find, But strong desire doth in Thee burn, That I would unto Thee return. 3 Since Thou then, Father, callest me, I, needy sinner, come to Thee, Relying on the precious blood That from five wounds most holy flowed. 4 I pray through Christ Thine only Son, Who for my good here flesh put on, Let not Thy love to me e'er fail; O'er justice still may grace prevail. 5 In tender mercy let Thy grace Through Jesus' blood my sins efface; Then I, the poor lost child, will be Of all offenses rid through Thee. 6 Let me, according to Thy Word, Live henceforth unto Thee, I Lord; That I may after time is o'er Inherit life forevermore.

And wilt Thou pardon, Lord

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a239 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And wilt Thou pardon, LORD, A sinner such as I? Although Thy book his crimes record, Of such a crimson dye? 2 So deep are they engraved, So terrible their fear-- The righteous scarcely can be saved, And where shall I appear? 3 O Thou, Physician blest, Make clean my guilty soul! And me, by many sins oppressed, Restore, and keep me whole! 4 I know not how to praise Thy mercy and Thy love; But deign Thy servant to upraise, And I shall learn above!

The Bridegroom soon will call us

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a24 (1895) Lyrics: 1 The Bridegroom soon will call us: Come, all ye wedding guests! May not His voice appall us While slumber binds our breasts: May all our lamps be burning, And oil be found in store, That we, with Him returning May open find the door. 2 There shall we see delighted Our dear Redeemer's face, Who leads our souls benighted To glory by His grace; The patriarchs shall meet us, The prophets' holy band, Apostles, martyrs, greet us In that celestial land. 3 They will not blush to own us As brothers, sisters dear, Love ever will be shown us When we with them appear; We all shall come before Him, Who for us Man became, As Lord and God adore Him, And ever bless His name. 4 Our Father, rich in blessing, Will give us crowns of gold, And to His bosom pressing, Impart a bliss untold, Will welcome with embraces Of never-ending love, And deck us with His graces In blissful realms above. 5 In mansions fair and spacious Will God the feast prepare, And, ever kind and gracious, Bid us its riches share; There bliss that knows no measure From springs of love shall flow, And never changing pleasure His bounty will bestow.

A broken heart, my God, my King!

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a240 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 A broken heart, my God, my King! Is all the sacrifice I bring: The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 2 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 3 Then will I teach the world Thy ways; Sinner shall learn Thy sov'reign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 4 O may Thy love inspire my tongue; Salvation shall be all my song, And all my power shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness.

Savior, when in dust to Thee

Hymnal: ELH91895 #a242 (1895) Lyrics: 1 Savior, when in dust to Thee Low we bow th' adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our streaming eyes; O, by all Thy pains and woe, Suffered once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and tears, By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness; By Thy vict'ry in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 3 By Thine hour of dark despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds--Thy crown of thorn, By Thy cross--Thy pangs and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice, Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the sad sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, By Thy power from death to save; Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored-- Prince and Savior, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany.
