Alas! By Nature How Depraved

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Alas! by nature how depraved, How prone to every ill! Our lives, to Satan, how enslaved, How obstinate our will! 2. And can such sinners be restored, Such rebels reconciled? Can grace itself the means afford To make a foe a child? 3. Yes, grace has found the wondrous means Which shall effectual prove; To cleanse us from our countless sins, And teach our hearts to love. 4. Jesus for sinners undertakes, And died that we may live; His blood a full atonement makes, And cries aloud, Forgive. 5. Yet one thing more must grace provide, To bring us home to God; Or we shall slight the Lord, who died, And trample on His blood. 6. The Holy Spirit must reveal The Savior’s work and worth; Then the hard heart begins to feel A new and heavenly birth. 7. Thus bought with blood, and born again, Redeemed, and saved, by grace Rebels, in God’s own house obtain A son’s and daughter’s place. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns, (London: W.

See, Gracious God, Before Thy Throne

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before Thy throne Thy mourning people bend! ’Tis on Thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. 2 Tremendous judgments from Thy hand, Thy dreadful power display: Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And yet we live to pray. 3 Great God, and why this nation spare, Ungrateful as we are? O be these awful warnings heard, While mercy cries, Forebear. 4 What numerous crimes increasing rise, Where Satan shows his smile? What land so favored of the skies, And yet what land so vile? 5 How changed, alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 6 O bid us turn, almighty Lord, By Thy resistless grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And humble seek Thy face. 7 Then should insulting foes invade, We shall not sink in fear; Secure of never failing aid, If God, our God, is near.

Conscious of hidden deity, The lowly virgin brings Her newborn babe, with two young doves, Her humble offerings. 4. The agèd Simeon sees at last His Lord, so long desired, And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope, With holy rapture fired. 5. But silent knelt the mother blest Of the yet silent Word, And pondering all things in her heart, With speechless praise adored. 6. All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run.

Dear Lord! Behold Our Sore Distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord! behold our sore distress; Our sins attempt to reign; Stretch out Thine arm of conquering grace, And let Thy foes be slain. 2 The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights Thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of Thy power, And chain him to the deep. 3 Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach Thine ear, Nor tears affect Thine eye? 4 If Thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior’s blood; An advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. 5 He brought the Spirit’s powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath Thy Word, And hell in vain oppose. 6 How boundless is our Father’s grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1706-09, Book 2

Lord God, my Saviour, day and night

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, my Saviour, day and night before thee cried have I. 2 Before thee let my prayer come; give ear unto my cry. 3 For troubles great do fill my soul; my life draws night the grave. 4 I'm counted with those that go down to death, and no strength have. 5 Free midst the dead, like to the slain that in the grave do lie; cut off from thy hand, whom no more thou hast in memory. 6 Thou hast me laid in lowest pit, in deeps and darksome caves; 7 thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast me pressed with all they waves. 8 Thou hast put far from me my friends, made me their scorn to know; and I am so shut up that I no longer forth can go. 9 By reason of my deep distress, mine eye doth waste away; to thee, Lord, I call, and stretch my hands out every day. 10 Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall they rise and thee bless? 11 Shall in the grave thy love be told? in death thy faithfulness? 12 Shall thy great wonders in the dark, or shall thy righteousness be known to any in the land of deep forgetfulness? 13 But, Lord, to thee I cried; my prayer at morn shall come to thee. 14 Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my soul, and hide thy face from me? 15 Distressed am I, and from my youth I ready am to die, thy terrors I have borne, and am distracted fearfully. 16 By thy fierce wrath I'm overwhelmed, cut off by dread of thee; 17 like floods thy terrors round me close, all day they compass me. 18 My friends thou hast put far from me, and him that did me love; and those that mine acquaintance were to darkness didst remove.

And canst Thou let the rebel live And own Thy wandering child? 2 All sin, all rags, just as I am, My Father, will I come, All over guilt, I blush with shame, And yet through Christ I come. 3 Thy choicest robe shall deck me well Thy smile, my spirit cheer, Bright angels loud my welcome tell, Thy voice disperse my fear. 4 Oh wondrous grace! Oh love divine! That lets the sinner live, Father, receive me now as Thine, And now Thy welcome give!
