With sweetness fills my breast;
But sweeter far thy face to see
And in thy presence rest.

Nor can the mem’ry find
A sweeter sound than thy blest name,
O Savior of mankind!
3. O hope of ev’ry contrite heart,
O joy of all the meek,
To those who fall, how kind thou art!
How good to those who seek!
4. Jesus, our only joy be thou,
As thou our prize wilt be;

And thru eternity. Scripture: Psalm 104:34 Used With Tune: [Jesus, the very thought of thee]

Save Me, O God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Supplication First Line: Save me, O God, the swelling floods Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, the swelling floods
break in upon my soul;
I sink, and sorrows o'er my head
like mighty waters roll.
I cry till all my voice be gone;
in tears I waste the day:
my God, behold my longing eyes,
and shorten Thy delay.
2 They hate my soul without a cause,
and still their number grows
more than the hairs around my head,
and mighty are my foes.
'Twas then I paid that dreadful debt
that men could never pay,
and gave those honors to Thy law
which sinners took away.
3 Thus in the great Messiah's name
the royal prophet mourns;
thus He awakes our hearts to grief,
and gives us joy by turns.
Now shall the saints rejoice, and find
salvation in Thy name
for I have borne their heavy load
of sorrow, pain, and shame.
4 Grief, like a garment, clothed me round,
and sackcloth was my dress,
while I procured for naked souls
a robe of righteousness.
Amongst my brethren and the Jews
I like a stranger stood,
and bore their vile reproach to bring
the Gentiles near to God.
5 I came in sinful mortals' stead
to do my Father's will;
yet when I cleansed my Father's house,
they scandalized my zeal.
My fasting, and my holy groans
were made the drunkard's song;
but God from His celestial throne
heard my complaining tongue.
6 He saved me from the dreadful deep,
nor let my soul be drowned;
He raised and fixed my sinking feet
on well established ground.
'Twas in a most accepted hour
my prayer arose on high,
and for my sake my God shall hear
the dying sinner's cry. Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
Save Me, O God
O thou from whom all goodness flows
Author: Thomas Haweis Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Supplication For Deliverance Lyrics: 1 O thou from whom all goodness flows,
I lift my soul to thee;
In all my sorrows, conflicts, woes,
Good Lord, remember me.
2 When on my aching, burdened heart
My sins lie heavily,
Thy pardon grant, new peace impart:
Good Lord, remember me.
3 When trials sore obstruct my way,
And ills I cannot flee,
O let my strength be as my day:
Good Lord, remember me.
4 If, for thy sake, upon my name
Shame and reproach shall be,
All hail reproach, and welcome shame!
Good Lord, remember me.
5 If worn with pain, disease, or grief,
This feeble frame should be,
Grant patience, rest, and kind relief:
Good Lord, remember me.
6 When, in the solemn hour of death,
I wait thy just decree,
Be this the pray'r of my last breath:
Good Lord, remember me.
Amen. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Alt. in Thomas Cotterill's Selections, 1819

On Jordan's Bank
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: Supplication First Line: On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry
announces that the Lamb is nigh;
awake and hearken, for he brings
glad tidings of the King of Kings.
2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin;
make straight the way for God within;
and let each heart prepare a home
where such a mighty guest may come.
3 In you, we find abundant life,
our refuge in the midst of strife;
without your grace we waste away
like flowers that wither and decay.
4 Stretch forth your hand, our health restore,
and help us rise to fall no more.
O let your face upon us shine,
and fill the world with love divine.
5 All praise to you, eternal Son,
whose advent has our freedom won;
and praise to God whom we adore,
with Holy Spirit evermore. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW Text Sources: Latin
