I am not worthy, holy Lord

Author: H. W. Baker (1821-1877) Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: God's Church Holy Communion Scripture: Matthew 8:8 Used With Tune: BANGOR

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Alas, my aching heart! Lyrics: 1 Alas, my aching heart! Here the keen torment lies; It racks my waking hours with smart, And frights my slumbering eyes. 2 Guilt will be hid no more, My griefs take vent apace, The crimes that blot my conscience o’er Flush crimson in my face. 3 My sorrows like a flood Impatient of restraint Into Thy bosom, O my God, Pour out a long complaint. 4 This impious heart of mine Could once defy the Lord, Could rush with violence on to sin In presence of Thy sword. 5 As often have I stood A rebel to the skies, The calls, the tenders of a God, And mercy’s loudest cries. 6 He offers all His grace, And all His heaven to me; Offers! But ’tis to senseless brass That can nor feel nor see. 7 Jesus the Savior stands To court me from above, And looks and spreads His wounded hands, And shows the prints of love. 8 But I, a stupid fool, How long have I withstood The blessings purchased with His soul, And paid for all in blood? 9 The heav’nly Dove came down And tendered me His wings, To mount me upward to a crown And bright immortal things. 10 Lord, I’m ashamed to say That I refused Thy Dove, And sent Thy Spirit grieved away To His own realms of love. 11 Nor all Thine heav’nly charms, Nor Thy revenging hand Could force me to lay down my arms, And bow to Thy command. 12 Lord, ’tis against Thy face My sins like arrows rise, And yet, and yet, O matchless grace Thy thunder silent lies. 13 O shall I never feel The meltings of Thy love? Am I of such hell-hardened steel That mercy cannot move? 14 Now for one powerful glance Dear Savior, from Thy face! This rebel heart no more withstands, But sinks beneath Thy grace. 15 O’ercome by dying love I fall, And at Thy cross I lie; I throw my flesh, my soul, my all, And weep, and love, and die. 16 Rise, says the Prince of mercy, rise; With joy and pity in His eyes: “Rise and behold My wounded veins; Here flows the blood to wash thy stains. 17 See, My great Father’s reconciled: He said, and lo, the Father smiled; The joyful cherubs clapped their wings, And sounded grace on all their strings.

Yonder Amazing Sight I See

Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: Yonder—amazing sight!—I see Lyrics: 1 Yonder—amazing sight!—I see Th’incarnate Son of God, Expiring on the accursèd tree, And weltering in His blood. 2 Behold a purple torrent run Down from His hands and head: The crimson tide puts out the sun; His groans awake the dead. 3 The trembling earth, the darkened sky, Proclaim the truth aloud; And with th’amazed centurion cry, "This is the Son of God." 4 So great, so vast a sacrifice, May well my hope revive: If God’s own Son thus bleeds and dies, The sinner sure may live. 5 O that these cords of love divine, Might draw me, Lord to Thee, Thou hast my heart, it shall be Thine— Thine it shall ever be!

Devoting All to God

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall Lyrics: 1. Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall, From bondage set me loose; I would not wish to live at all Unless I live for you. 2. To you, wheree'er I pitch my tent, I would an altar raise, And with a humble frame present The sacrifice of praise. 3. To you devote my health and strength, While health and strength shall last, For future mercies humbly trust, Nor e'er forget the past. 4. Lord, guide me through the wilderness, To Canaan's fertile land; Through Jordan's stream fearlessly pass, If you but give command.

O Prophet Souls of All the Years

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O prophet souls of all the years, speak yet to us in love; your far-off vision, toil, and tears to their fulfillment move. 2 From tropic clime and zones of frost they come of every name; this, this our day of Pentecost, on us the tongues of flame. 3 One Life together we confess, one all-in-dwelling Word, one holy Call to righteousness within the silence heard: 4 One Law that guides the shining spheres as on through space they roll, and speaks in flaming characters on Sinais of the soul: 5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless, an ever-flowing sea, that holds within its vast embrace time and eternity.
