Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 223 hymnals Topics: Christian Life The Forgivness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heav'n and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home; And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And his the blood that can for all atone And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in the Father's courts my glorious dress May be the garment of thy righteousness. 6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord; Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

Hail! my ever blessed Jesus

Author: John Wingrove Appears in 192 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness Of Sin Lyrics: 1 Hail! my ever blessed Jesus, Only Thee I wish to sing; To my soul Thy name is precious, Thou my Prophet, Priest, and King. Oh, what mercy flows from heaven, Oh, what joy and happiness! Love I much? I’ve much forgiven; I’m a miracle of grace. 2 Once with Adam’s race in ruin, Unconcerned in sin I lay; Swift destruction still pursuing, Till my Saviour passed this way. Witness, all ye hosts of heaven, My Redeemer’s tenderness; Love I much? I’m much forgiven; I’m a miracle of grace. 3 Sing, ye bright angelic choir, Praise the Lamb enthroned above; Whilst astonished, I admire God’s free grace and boundless love. That blest moment I received Him, Filled my soul with joy and peace; Love I much? I’m much forgiven; I’m a miracle of grace. Amen. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sin Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord, hear me, I implore Thee! In grace Thine ear incline to me, My prayer let come before Thee! If Thou remember each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Lord, who can stand before Thee? 2 Our pardon is Thy gift; Thy love And grace alone avail us. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove, The strictest life must fail us. None guiltless in Thy sight appear; All who approach Thy throne must fear, And humbly trust Thy mercy. 3 And thus my hope is in Thee, Lord, And not in mine own merit; I rest upon Thy faithful word To them of contrite spirit. Shielded by Thee I stand secure; Thy grace is free, Thy promise sure: Thereon my hope is builded. 4 Like those who watch for midnight's hour To hail the dawning morrow, I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power. Unmoved by doubt or sorrow. So thus let Israel hope in Thee, And he shall find Thy mercy free, And Thy redemption plenteous. 5 Where'er the greatest sins abound, By grace they are exceeded; Thy helping hand is always found With aid, where aid is needed: Thy hand, the only hand to save, Will rescue Israel from the grave, And pardon his transgression.

This joyful feast confirms that you are here, now and forever, as our shield and sun. 5 We have no help but yours, nor do we need another strength than yours to lean upon.
