Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness

Author: F.T. Palgrave Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #402 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Though we long, in sin-wrought blindness, From Thy gracious paths have strayed, Cold to Thee and all Thy kindness, Wilful, reckless, or afraid; Through dim clouds that gather round us Thou hast sought, and Thou hast found us. 2 Oft from Thee we veil our faces Children-like, to cheat thine eyes; Sin, and hope to hide the traces! From ourselves ourselves disguise; 'Neath the webs enwoven round us, Thy soul-piercing glance has found us. 3 Sudden, 'midst our idle hours, O'er our sin thy thunders roll, Death his signal waves before us, Night and terror take the soul; Till through double darkness round us, Looks a star,--and Tho hast found us. 4 O most Merciful, most Holy, Light Thy wanderers on their way; Keep us ever thine, thine wholly, Suffer us no more to stray! Cloud and storm oft gather round us; We were lost, but Thou hast found us.

Lord, to Thee I make confession

Author: J. Franck Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #497 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, to Thee I make confession, I have sinned and gone astray, I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way: Forced at last to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors. 2 But from Thee how can I hide me, Thou, O God, art everywhere; Refuge from Thee is denied me, Or by land or sea or air; Nor death's darkness can enfold me, So that thou shouldst not behold me. 3 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me, Father, I will seek Thy face; Though Thy child I scarce dare call me, Yet restore me to Thy grace; Do not for my sins forsake me; Do not let Thy wrath o'ertake me; 4 For Thy Son hath suffered for me, And the blood He shed for sin, That can heal me and restore me, Quench this burning fire within; 'Tis alone His cross can vanquish These dark fears and soothe this anguish. 5 Then on Him I cast my burden, Sink it in the depths below! Let me know Thy gracious pardon, Wash me, make me white as snow. Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me only thine forever!
