Repentance and Faith in the Blood of Christ

Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed First Line: O God of mercy, hear my call Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, hear my call, My loads of guilt remove, Break down this separating wall That bars me from thy love. 2 Give me the presence of thy grace, Then my rejoicing tongue Shall speak aloud thy righteousness, And make thy praise my song. 3 No blood of goats nor heifer slain For sin could e'er attone; The death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone. 4 A soul opprest with sin's desert My God will ne'er despise; A humble groan, a broken heart, Is our best sacrifice. Scripture: Psalm 51:14-17

A Penitent pleading for Pardon

Appears in 790 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed; Fears and doubts suppressed First Line: Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting rebel live; Are not thy mercies large and free? May not a sinner trust in thee? 2 My crimes are great, but can't surpass The power and glory of thy grace: Great God, thy nature hath no bound, So let thy pardoning love be found? 3 Oh wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offenses pain mine eyes. 4 My lips with shame my sins confess Against thy law, against thy grace; Lord, should thy judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath, I must pronounce thee just in death; And if my soul were sent to hell, Thy righteous law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord, Whose hope, still hovering round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair. Scripture: Psalm 51

Blest Morning, whose young dawning Rays

Appears in 155 hymnals Topics: Fears and Doubts suppressed Lyrics: 1 Blest Morning, whose first dawning Rays Beheld our rising God, That saw him triumph o'er the Dust, And leave his dark Abode. 2 In the cold Prison of a Tomb, The dead Redeemer lay, Till the revolving Skies had brought The Third, th’ appointed Day. 3 Hell and the Grave unite their Force To hold our God in vain, The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble Chain. 4 To thy great Name, Almighty Lord, These sacred Hours we pay, And loud Hosannas shall proclaim The Triumphs of the Day. [5 Salvation and immortal Praise To our victorious King; Let Heav’n, and Earth, and Rocks and Seas, With glad Hosannas ring.]

Now in the galleries of his grace

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: Now in the galleries of his grace Appears the King, and thus he says, "How fair my saints are in my sight! My love how pleasant for delight!" Kind is thy language, sovereign Lord, There's heav'nly grace in every word; From that dear mouth a stream divine Flows sweeter than the choicest wine. Such wondrous love awakes the lip Of saints that were almost asleep, To speak the praises of thy name, And makes our cold affections flame. These are the joys he lets us know In fields and villages below; Gives us a relish of his love, But keeps his noblest feast above. In Paradise, within the gates, A higher entertainment waits Fruits new and old laid up in store, Where we shall feed, but thirst no more. Scripture: Song of Solomon 7:5-13

Who is this fair one in distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: [Who is this fair one in distress, That travels from the wilderness? And pressed with sorrows and with sins, On her beloved Lord she leans. This is the spouse of Christ our God, Bought with the treasure of his blood; And her request and her complaint Is but the voice of every saint.] "O let my name engraven stand Both on thy heart and on thy hand; Seal me upon thine arm, and wear That pledge of love for ever there. "Stronger than death thy love is known, Which floods of wrath could never drown; And hell and earth in vain combine To quench a fire so much divine. "But I am jealous of my heart, Lest it should once from thee depart; Then let thy name be well impressed As a fair signet on my breast. "Till thou hast brought me to thy home, Where fears and doubts can never come, Thy count'nance let me often see, And often thou shalt hear from me. "Come, my Beloved, haste away, Cut short the hours of thy delay; Fly like a youthful hart or roe Over the hills where spices grow." Scripture: Song of Solomon 8:5-7

God of the morning, at whose voice

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 262 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: God of the morning! at whose voice The cheerful sun makes haste to rise, And like a giant doth rejoice To run his journey through the skies. From the fair chambers of the east The circuit of his race begins, And, without weariness or rest, Round the whole earth he flies and shines. O like the sun may I fulfil Th' appointed duties of the day, With ready mind and active will March on and keep my heav'nly way. [But I shall rove and lose the race, If God, my sun, should disappear, And leave me in this world's wild maze, To follow every wand'ring star. Lord, thy commands are clean and pure, Enlight'ning our beclouded eyes; Thy threat'nings just, thy promise sure, Thy gospel makes the simple wise.] Give me thy counsel for my guide, And then receive me to thy bliss; All my desires and hopes beside Are faint and cold compared with this. Scripture: Psalm 19:5

Thus far the Lord has led me on

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: Fears and doubts suppressed Lyrics: Thus far the Lord has led me on, Thus far his power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of his grace. Much of my time has run to waste, And I perhaps am near my home; But he forgives my follies past, He gives me strength for days to come. I lay my body down to sleep, Peace is the pillow for my head; While well-appointed angels keep Their watchful stations round my bed. In vain the sons of earth or hell Tell me a thousand frightful things My God in safety makes me dwell Beneath the shadow of his wings. [Faith in his name forbids my fear; O may thy presence ne'er depart! And in the morning make me hear The love and kindness of thy heart. Thus when the night of death shall come, My flesh shall rest beneath the ground, And wait thy voice to rouse my tomb, With sweet salvation in the sound.] Scripture: Psalm 4:8
