After thy loving-kindness, Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 After thy loving-kindness, Lord, have mercy upon me: for thy compassions great, blot out all mine iniquity. 2 Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash from mine iniquity; 3 for my transgressions I confess; my sin I ever see. 4 ’Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinned, in thy sight done this ill; that when thou speak’st thou may’st be just, and clear in judging still. 5 Behold, I in iniquity was formed the womb within; My mother also me conceived in guiltiness and sin. 6 Behold, thou in the inward parts with truth delighted art; and wisdom thou shalt make me know within the hidden part. 7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, I shall be cleansed so; yea, wash thou me, and then I shall be whiter than the snow. 8 Of gladness and of joyfulness make me to hear the voice, that so these very bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 All mine iniquities blot out, thy face hide from my sin. 10 Create a clean heart, Lord, renew a right spirit me within. 11 Cast me not from thy sight, nor take thy Holy Spirit away: 12 restore me thy salvation’s joy; with thy free Spirit me stay. 13 Then will I teach thy ways unto those that transgressors be; and those that sinners are shall then be turned unto thee. 14 O God, of my salvation God, from guilt of blood me free: then of thy righteousness my tongue shall sing, aloud to thee. 15 My closed lips, O Lord, by thee let them be opened; then shall thy praises by my mouth abroad be published. 16 Thou sacrifice desirest not, else would I give it thee; nor wilt thou with burnt-offering at all delighted be. 17 A broken spirit is to God a pleasing sacrifice: A broken and a contrite heart, Lord, thou wilt not despise. 18 In thy good pleasure do thou good to Zion, thine own hill: the walls of thy Jerusalem build up of thy good will. 19 Then righteous offerings shall thee please, and offerings burnt which they, with whole burnt-offerings, and with calves, shall on thine altar lay.

Adore and Tremble, for Our God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Adore and tremble, for our God Is a consuming fire! His jealous eyes His wrath inflame, And raise His vengeance higher. 2. Almighty vengeance, how it burns! How bright His fury glows! Vast magazines of plagues and storms Lie treasured for his foes. 3. Those heaps of wrath, by slow degrees, Are forced into a flame; But kindled, oh! how fierce they blaze! And rend all nature’s frame. 4. At His approach the mountains flee, And seek a watery grave: The frighted sea makes haste away, And shrinks up every wave. 5. Through the wide air the mighty rocks Are swift as hailstones hurled; Who dares engage His fiery rage That shakes the solid world? 6. Yet, mighty God, Thy sovereign grace Sits regent on the throne; The refuge of Thy chosen race When wrath comes rushing down. 7. Thy hand shall on rebellious kings A fiery tempest pour, While we beneath Thy sheltering wings Thy just revenge adore. Used With Tune: ST. MARY Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, Book I, 1707, number 42

I said, I will look to my ways

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I said, I will look to my ways, lest with my tongue I sin: in sight of wicked men my mouth with bridle I’ll keep in. 2 With silence I as dumb became, I did myself restrain even from good; but then the more increased was my pain. 3 My heart within me waxed hot, and, while I mused long, a fire within me kindled was; then spake I with my tongue. 4 Mine end and measure of my days, O Lord, unto me show what is the same; that I thereby how frail I am may know. 5 Lo, thou my days an handbreadth mad’st; mine age is nought with thee: sure each man in his best estate is wholly vanity. 6 Sure each man walks in a vain show; they vex themselves in vain: he heaps up wealth, and doth not know to whom it shall pertain. 7 And now, O Lord, what wait I for? My hope is fixed on thee. 8 Free me from all my trespasses, the fool’s scorn make not me. 9 Dumb was I, opening not my mouth, because this work is thine. 10 O, take thy stroke away from me; by thy hand's blow I pine. 11 When with rebukes thou dost correct man for iniquity, like moth thou dost his beauty waste: each man is vanity. 12 Regard my cry, Lord, at my tears and prayers not silent be: I sojourn as my fathers all, and stranger am with thee. 13 O spare thou me, that I my strength recover may again, before that hence I do depart, and here no more remain.
