O when wilt thou my Saviour be!
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #301 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 O when wilt thou my Saviour be!
O when shall I be clean!
The true eternal Sabbath see,
A perfect rest from sin!
2 Jesus! the sinner's rest thou art,
From guilt, and fear, and pain;
While thou art absent from my heart,
I look for rest in vain!
3 The consolations of thy word
My soul have long upheld;
The faithful promise of the Lord
Shall surely be fulfill'd:
4 Joining thy sheep in yonder fold,
Like them I shall rejoice;
Like them thy glory shall behold
And hear my shepherd's voice.
5 O that I now the voice might hear,
That speaks my sins forgiven;
Thy word is past to give me here
The inward pledge of heaven.
O when wilt thou my Saviour be!
Oh that the Lord would hear my cry
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #302 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Oh that the Lord would hear my cry,
And stay his anger lest I die!
Thy wrath is just--yet, oh, forgive!
And let a mourning sinner live.
2 In all my frame, without, within,
I feel the sad effects of sin;
How long, my God, must I complain,
And deprecate thy wrath in vain?
3 Oh, should I die depriv'd of thee?
What being else can succour me?
Thy frowns would rend my soul in death,
And sink it to the depths beneath.
4 Ye darling sins, that plague me so,
The greatest enemies I know,
Depart--for God hath heard my pray'r,
And will not let me long despair.
5 No;--I shall yet his goodness bless;
And when this transient life shall pass,
Then, full of glory, I shall prove
He can be just, and sinners love. Scripture: Psalm 6
Oh that the Lord would hear my cry
To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #285 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends,
But not for golden stores;
Nor covet I the brightest gems
On the rich eastern shores:
2 Nor that deluding empty joy
Men call a mighty name,
Nor greatness with its pride and state,
My restless thoughts inflame:--
3 Nor pleasure's fascinating charms
My fond desires allure:
But nobler things than these, from thee,
My wishes would secure.
4 The faith and hope of joys to come
My best affections move;
Thy light, thy favour, and thy smiles,
Thine everlasting love.
5 These are the blessings I desire:
Lord, be these blessings mine!
And all the glories of the world
I cheerfully resign.
To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends
