Have Mercy on Us, God Most High

Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2487 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Have mercy on us, God most high, Who lift our hearts to Thee; Have mercy on us worms of earth, Most holy Trinity. 2. Most ancient of all mysteries! Before Thy throne we lie; Have mercy now, most Merciful, Most holy Trinity. 3. When heaven and earth were yet unmade, When time was yet unknown, Thou, in Thy bliss and majesty, Didst live and love alone. 4. Thou wert not born; there was no fount From which Thy Being flowed; There is no end which Thou canst reach; But Thou art simply God. 5. How wonderful creation is, The work that Thou didst bless; And oh, what then must Thou be like, Eternal Loveliness! 6. How beautiful the angels are, The saints how bright in bliss; But with Thy beauty, Lord, compared, How dull, how poor is this. 7. O listen, then, most pitiful, To Thy poor creature’s heart: It blesses Thee that Thou art God; That Thou art what Thou art. 8. Most ancient of all mysteries! Still at Thy throne we lie; Have mercy now, most Merciful, Most holy Trinity. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

In Full Assurance of Thy Grace

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2779 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. In full assurance of Thy grace To Thee my prayers ascend In Thine abounding love and truth, O God, salvation send. 2. Preserve my sinking soul, I pray, From tides of hatred save; Let not the waters overflow, Redeem me from the grave. 3. Because Thy mercy, Lord, is good, O answer me in grace, And in the riches of Thy love O turn to me Thy face. 4. Hide not Thy face from my distress, A speedy answer send; Draw near to me, my soul redeem, From all my foes defend. 5. Well known to Thee is my reproach, My shame and my disgrace, The adversaries of my soul Are all before Thy face. 6. My heart is broken by reproach, My soul is full of grief; I looked in vain for comforters, For pity and relief. 7. They gave me bitter gall for food, And taunting words they spake, They gave me vinegar to drink, My burning thirst to slake. 8. Their peace and plenty be their snare, In blindness let them grope; Thine indignation on them pour, And desolate their hope. 9. Because they proudly persecute Those whom Thou, Lord, dost smite, Let them be blotted from Thy book And banished from Thy sight. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Jesus, in Thee Our Eyes Behold

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3349 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, in Thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. 2. They first their own burnt offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all Thy nature clean. 3. Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But Thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt. 4. Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never changing office stands Eternal as Thy days. 5. Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: 6. But Christ, by His own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows His own sacrifice. 7. Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion’s heav’nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears His priesthood still. 8. He ever lives to intercede Before His Father’s face: Give Him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father’s grace. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Lord, We Confess Our Numerous Faults

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4093 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been! Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2. But, O my soul! for ever praise, For ever love His name, Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin and shame. 3. ’Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done; But we are saved by sovereign grace Abounding through His Son. 4. ’Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; ’Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are washed from sin. 5. ’Tis through the purchase of His death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6. Raised from the dead we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father’s face. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Lord, Who Throughout These Forty Days

Lord, who throughout these forty days For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins And close by Thee to stay. 2. As Thou with Satan didst contend, And didst the victory win, O give us strength in Thee to fight, In Thee to conquer sin. 3. As Thou didst hunger bear, and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and chiefly live By Thy most holy Word. 4. And through these days of penitence, And through Thy passiontide, Yea, evermore in life and death, Jesus, with us abide. 5. Abide with us, that so, this life Of suffering over past, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

O God, Unseen Yet Ever Near

Teach Me the Measure of My Days

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6830 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Teach me the measure of my days, Thou Maker of my frame; I would survey life’s narrow space, And learn how frail I am. 2. A span is all that we can boast, An inch or two of time; Man is but vanity and dust In all his flower and prime. 3. See the vain race of mortals move Like shadows o’er the plain; They rage and strive, desire and love, But all the noise is vain. 4. Some walk in honor’s gaudy show, Some dig for golden ore; They toil for heirs, they know not who, And straight are seen no more. 5. What should I wish or wait for, then, From creatures earth and dust? They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6. Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recall; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

We Cannot Think of Them as Dead

Author: Frederick L. Hosmer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7153 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. We cannot think of them as dead Who walk with us no more; Along the path of life we tread— They have but gone before. 2. The Father’s house is mansioned fair Beyond our vision dim; All souls are His, and here or there Are living unto Him. 3. But still their silent ministries Within our hearts have place, As when on earth they walked with us And met us face to face. 4. Ours are they by an ownership Nor time nor death can free; For God hath given love to keep Its own eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN
