Shun, my Heart, such Thought Forever

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; Johan Olof Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #248a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Shun, my heart, such thought forever As that thou art cast away, Rest upon God's Word and favor, Never cease to watch and pray. E'en though thou unrighteous art, True and faithful is God's heart; Hast thou death deserved forever? God's appeased, despond thou never! 2 Thou art, as is every other, Tainted with the poison sin. That the serpent and our father Adam, by the fall, brought in. But if thou God's voice doth hear, With a contrite heart draw near Unto God, He will receive thee, All thy sins He will forgive thee. 3 Thou wilt find in Him a Father Who is patient, kind, and true, He doth love thee as no brother And no other friend can do. E'en our smallest cares He knows, He is touched by all our woes; Well our inmost prayers He heareth, And our saddened hearts He cheereth. 4 Hear His work "As I am living, I the death on none would see, But that every sinner giving Up his heart would turn to Me. How my heart with rapture burns When a prodigal returns! As My own I love to call him, And no evil shall befall him." 5 Never shepherd's heart so yearneth For the sheep that go astray As God's loving bosom burneth For His erring child alway. How He thirst, and longs, and yearns For the soul that from Him turns! Couldst thou see His love so tender Joyful praise thou wouldst Him render. 6 O my soul, so sad and dreary, Rest now and contented be! Why wilt thou thyself so weary When there is no need for thee? Though thy sins appear to thee Like a vast and shoreless sea, In God's mercy they will vanish; Thy despair and fear, then, banish. 7 Were there thousand worlds created, Lost in sin and misery, Had their sins both small and greater, Every one been done by thee; Still God's love and mercy are Greater than these sins by far; Naught His mercy can diminish, Nor His love and grace extinguish. 8 Of such wondrous love and favor Open wide the door to me; And Thy goodness, precious Saviour, Let me ever taste and see, Love me, Lord, and let me be Ever nearer drawn to Thee; Let thy Spirit lead and guide me, In Thy loving bosom hide me.

Alas, my God! My Sins are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius, 1550-1618 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #249a (1901) Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher, Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

Author: Edward Mote, 1797-1874 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #252 (1901) Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant and blood, Support me in the sinking flood; When every earthly prop gives way, He then is all my hope and stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When I shall launch to worlds unseen, Oh, may I then be found in Him! Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand, All other ground is sinking sand. Amen.

Not all the Blood of Beasts

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #253 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts, On Jewish altars slain, Could give the guilty conscience peace Or wash away the stain. 2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb, Takes all our sins away; A Sacrifice of nobler name, And richer blood than they. 3 My faith would lay her hand On that dear head of Thine, While like a penitent I stand, And there confess my sin. 4 My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear, When hanging on the curséd tree, And knows her guilt was there. 5 Believing, we rejoice To see the curse remove; We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice, And sing His bleeding love. Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: BEN RHYDDING

I Lay my Sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #254a (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us, From the accurséd load. I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White, in His blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus, All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song. Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: CRUCIFIX
