Penitence

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 789 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord, forgive! Let a repenting sinner live, Are not Thy mercies large and free? May not the contrite trust in Thee? 2 With shame my numerous sins I trace Against Thy law, against Thy grace; And, though my prayer Thou shouldst not hear My doom is just, and Thou art clear. 3 Yet save a penitent, O Lord! Whose hope, still hovering round Thy word, Seeks for some precious promise there, Some sure support against despair. 4 My sins are great, but don't surpass The riches of eternal grace. Great God! Thy nature hath no bound: So let Thy pardoning love be found. 5 Oh wash my soul from every stain, Nor let the guilt I mourn remain. Give me to hear Thy pardoning voice, And bid my bleeding heart rejoice. 6 Then shall Thy love inspire my tongue, Salvation shall be all my song; And every power shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

Thunders, that o'er thee roll, Fall on thee straying. Turn from destruction's ways, Turn to the throne of grace; There seek Thy Father's face, Weeping and praying. 3 "Hence, guilty fear and doubt, Leave me for ever! Lord, wilt Thou cast me out? Never--oh never! From unbelief of mind, From thought to sin inclined, From flesh and hell combined, Thou wilt deliver."

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent Lyrics: 1 Here at Thy cross, my dying Lord, I lay my soul beneath Thy love, Beneath the droppings of Thy blood, Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove. 2 Should worlds conspire to drive me thence, Moveless and firm this heart should lie; Resolved--for that's my last defence-- If I must perish, there to die. 3 But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear; Am I not safe beneath Thy shade? Thy vengeance will not strike me here, Nor Satan dares my soul invade. 4 Yes, I'm secure beneath Thy blood, And all my foes shall lose their aim; Hosannah to my dying Lord, And my best honors to His name.

Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity joined with power: He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Now, ye needy! come and welcome; God's free bounty glorify: True belief, and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nigh-- Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth, Is to feel your need of Him; This He gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall! If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all: Not the righteous,-- Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 View Him prostrate in the garden; On the ground your Maker lies! On the bloody tree behold Him; Hear Him cry, before He dies, "It is finished!" Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him, venture wholly, 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 sing the same.
