Jesus, Lover of my soul

Appears in 3,242 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee: Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me. All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing! 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find: Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name; I am all unrighteousness: False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise, to all eternity. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel J. Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Salvation By Grace Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, 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 heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day be 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 'Twas He who found me on the deathly wild; And made me heir of Heaven, the Father's child; And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. Amen. Used With Tune: LANGRAN

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry; Thy pard'ning grace is rich and free: O God, be merciful to me. 2 I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscious guilt oppressed, Christ and his cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me. 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me. 4 No alms nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee: O God, be merciful to me. 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell My raptured song shall ever be, "God has been merciful to me." Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51:7 Used With Tune: ST. LUKE
