O Lord! to whom for Help I call

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: liturgical Confession Songs Lyrics: 1 O Lord! to whom for Help I call, Thy Miracles repeat; With pitying Eye behold me fall A Leper at thy Feet. 2 Loathsome, and foul, and self abhorr'd, I sink beneath my Sin; But, if thou wilt, a gracious Word Of thine, can make me clean. 3 Thou seest me Deaf to thy Commands, Open O Lord! mine Ear; Bid me stretch out my wither'd Hands, And lift them up in Pray'r. 4 Silent (alas! thou know'st ho long!) My Voice I cannot raise; But O! when thou shalt loose my Tongue, The Dumb shall sing thy Praise. 5 Lame at the Pool I still am found, Give, and my Strength employ; Light as an Hart I then shall bound, The Lame shall leap for Joy. 6 Blind from my Birth to guilt and Thee, And dark I am within; The Love of God I cannot see, Nor Sinfulness of Sin. 7 But thou, they say, art passing by, O let me find Thee near! Jesus, in Mercy hear my Cry, Thou Son of David, hear! 8 Long have I waited in the Way, For Thee, the heav'nly Light; Command me to be brought, and say, "Sinner, receive thy Sight."

O Thou, whose tender Mercy hears

Appears in 361 hymnals Topics: liturgical Confession Songs Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose tender Mercy hears Contrition's humble Sigh; Whose Hand Indulgent, wipes the Tears From Sorrow's weeping Eye. 2 See! low before the Throne of Grace A wretched Wand'rer mourn: Hast thou not bide me seek thy Face? Hast thou not said, Return? 3 And shall my guilty Fears prevail To drive me from thy Feet? O let not this dear Refuge fail, This only safe Retreat. 4 Absent from Thee, my Guide, my Light, Without one cheering Ray, Thro' Dangers, Fears, and gloomy Night, How desolate my Way! 5 O shine on this benighted Heart, With Beams of Mercy shine; And let thy healing Voice impart A taste of Joys Divine. 6 Thy Presence only can bestow Delights which never cloy; Be this my Solace, here below, And my eternal Joy.

God of my Life, look gently down

Appears in 98 hymnals Topics: liturgical Confession Songs Lyrics: 1 God of my Life, look gently down, Behold the Pains I feel. But I am dumb before thy Throne, Nor dare dispute thy Will. 2 Diseases are thy Servants, Lord, They come at thy Command; I'll not attempt a murm'ring Word, Against thy chast'ning Hand. 3 Yet I may plead with humble Cries, Remove thy sharp Rebukes; My Strength consumes, my Spirit dies, Through thy repeated Strokes. 4 Crush'd as a Moth beneath thy Hand, We moulder to the Dust; Our feeble Pow'rs can ne'er withstand, And all our beauty's lost. [5 This mortal Life decays apace, How soon the Bubble's broke! Adam and all his num'rous Race Are Vanity and Smoke.] 6 I'm but a sojourner below, As all my Father's were; May I be well prepar'd to go, When I the Summons hear. 7 But if my Life be spar'd a while, Before my last remove, Thy Praise shall be my Buis'ness still, And I'll declare thy Love.

Christ Withdrawn

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: liturgical Confession Songs First Line: O what shall I do to retrieve Lyrics: 1 O what shall I do to retrieve The Love for a Season bestow'd: 'Tis better to die than to live Exil'd from the Presence of God: With Sorrow distracted and Doubt, With palpable Horror opprest, The City I wander about, And seek my Repose in his Breast. 2 Ye Watchmen of Israel, declare If ye my beloved have seen, And point to that heav'nly fair, Surpassing the Children of Men: My Love and Lord from above, Who only can quiet my Pain, Whom only I languish to love, O where shall I find him again? 3 The Joy and Desire of mine Eyes, The End of my Sorrow and woe; My Hope, and my Heav'nly Prize, My Height of Ambition below: Once more if he shew me his Face, He never again shall depart, Detain'd in my closest Embrace, Conceal'd in the Depth of my Heart.
