Before thee, God, who knowest all
Author: Magnus B. Landstad; Carl Döving Hymnal: TH1961 #409 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Before thee, God, who knowest all,
With grief and shame I prostrate fall.
I see my sins against thee, Lord,
The sins of thought, of deed, and word.
They press me sore: I cry to thee:
O God, be merciful to me!
2 O Lord, my God, to thee I pray:
O cast me not in wrath away!
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
But let him draw to thee my heart
That truly penitent I be:
O God, be merciful to me!
3 O Jesus, let thy precious blood
Be to my soul a cleansing flood.
Turn not, O Lord, thy guest away,
But grant that justified I may
Go to my house at peace with thee:
O God, be merciful to me!
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; God Mercy of; Heart Contrite; Justification; Searcher of Hearts Languages: English Tune Title: THE LORD'S PRAYER (VATER UNSER)
Before thee, God, who knowest all
Take me, O my Father, take me
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: TH1961 #410 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me;
Take me, save me, through thy Son;
That which thou wouldst have me, make me,
Let thy will in me be done.
Long from thee my footsteps straying,
Thorny proved the way I trod;
Weary come I now, and praying,
Take me to thy love, my God.
2 Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin;
At thy feet, O Father, falling,
To thy household take me in.
Freely now to thee I proffer
This relenting heart of mine;
Freely life and soul I offer,
Gift unworthy love like thine.
3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying,
Bore our sins upon the tree;
On that sacrifice relying,
Now I look in hope to thee:
Father, take me; all forgiving,
Fold me to thy loving breast;
In thy love for ever living
I must be for ever blest.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; Heart Surrendered; Longing for Christ and God; Submission Scripture: Psalm 119:176 Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER HYMN
Take me, O my Father, take me
No, not despairingly
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: TH1961 #411 (1961) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 No, not despairingly
Come I to thee;
No, not distrustingly
Bend I the knee:
Sin hath gone over me,
Yet is this still my plea,
Jesus hath died.
2 Lord, I confess to thee
Sadly my sin;
All I am tell I thee,
All I have been:
Purge thou my sin away,
Wash thou my soul this day;
Lord, make my clean.
3 Faithful and just art thou,
Forgiving all;
Loving and kind art thou
When poor ones call:
Lord, let the cleansing blood,
Blood of the Lamb of God,
Pass o'er my soul.
4 Then all is peace and light
This soul within;
Thus shall I walk with thee,
The loved Unseen;
Leaning on thee, my God,
Guided along the road,
Nothing between.
Amen. Topics: Abiding in Christ; Christ Blood of; Christian Life Repentance; Forgiveness of Sins Scripture: 1 John 1:9 Languages: English Tune Title: KEDRON
No, not despairingly
Out of the deep I call
Author: Sir Herny W. Baker Hymnal: TH1961 #412 (1961) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Out of the deep I call
To thee, O Lord, to thee.
Before thy throne of grace I fall;
Be merciful to me.
2 Out of the deep I cry,
The woeful deep of sin,
Of evil done in days gone by,
Of evil now within;
3 Out of the deep of fear
And dread of coming shame;
All night till morning watch is near
I plead the precious Name.
4 Lord, there is mercy now,
As ever was, with thee.
Before thy throne of grace I bow;
Be merciful to me.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; God Mercy of; Knowledge; Mercy-seat Scripture: Nehemiah 9:17 Languages: English Tune Title: SOUTHWELL
Out of the deep I call
O thou that hear'st when sinners cry
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: TH1961 #413 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their mem'ry from thy book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin;
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Not hide thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without thy light,
Cast out and banished from thy sight;
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me, that I fall no more.
4 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
5 My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just:
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
6 Then will I teach the world thy ways;
Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pard'ning God.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; Forgiveness of Sins; Heart Contrite; Heart Pure; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG
O thou that hear'st when sinners cry
O Jesus, thou art standing
Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: TH1961 #414 (1961) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
Shame on us, Christian brothers,
His Name and sign who bear,
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep him standing there!
2 O Jesus, thou art knocking;
And lo, that hand is scarred,
And thorns thy brow encircle,
And tears thy face have marred:
O love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
3 O Jesus, thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
"I died for you, my children,
And will ye treat Me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door;
Dear Saviour, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore.
Amen. Topics: Christ Love and Grace of; Christ Patience of; Christian Life Repentance; Communion with Christ and God; Heart Surrendered; Sanctification Scripture: Revelation 3:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. EDITH
O Jesus, thou art standing
God, be merciful to me
Hymnal: TH1961 #415 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me,
On thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
Grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against thy grace
And provoked thee to thy face;
I confess thy judgment just,
Speechless, I thy mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Saviour art,
Teach thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.
4 Broken, humbled to the dust
By thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear thy voice;
From my sins O hide thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace.
5 Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true;
Cast me not away from thee,
Let thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Stedfast make my willing heart.
6 Sinners then shall learn from me
And return, O God, to thee;
Saviour, all my guilt remove,
And my tongue shall sing thy love;
Touch my silent lips, O Lord,
And my mouth shall praise accord.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; Forgiveness of Sins; God Mercy of; Grace Refreshing; Heart Contrite; Man Deprivity of; Self-Examination Scripture: Psalm 51:1-15 Languages: English Tune Title: AJALON (REDHEAD NO. 76)
God, be merciful to me
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Author: Cornelius Elven Hymnal: TH1961 #416 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; God Mercy of; Heart Contrite; Salvation by Grace Scripture: Psalm 51:7 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LUKE
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Remember not, O God
Hymnal: TH1961 #417 (1961) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Remember not, O God,
The sins of long ago;
In tender mercy visit us,
Distressed and humbled low.
2 O Lord, our Saviour, help,
And glorify thy Name;
Deliver us from all our sins
And take away our shame.
3 In thy compassion hear
Thy pris'ners' plaintive sigh,
And in the greatness of thy pow'r
Save those about to die.
4 Then, safe within thy fold
We will exalt thy Name;
Our thankful hearts with songs of joy
Thy goodness will proclaim.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; Forgiveness of Sins; God Deliverer; God Mercy of; Gratitude Scripture: Psalm 79:8-13 Tune Title: GORTON
Remember not, O God
We have not known thee as we ought
Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Hymnal: TH1961 #418 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought,
Nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r;
The things of earth have filled our thought,
And trifles of the passing hour.
Lord, give us light thy truth to see,
And make us wise in knowing thee.
2 We have not feared thee as we ought,
Nor bowed beneath thine awful eye,
Nor guarded deed, and word, and thought,
Remembering that God was nigh.
Lord, give us faith to know thee near,
And grant the grace of holy fear.
3 We have not loved thee as we ought,
Nor cared that we are loved by thee;
Thy presence we have coldly sought,
And feebly longed thy face to see.
Lord, give a pure and loving heart
To feel and own the love thou art.
4 We have not served thee as we ought;
Alas! the duties left undone,
The work with little fervor wrought,
The battles lost, or scarcely won!
Lord, give the zeal, and give the might,
For thee to toil, for thee to fight.
5 When shall we know thee as we ought,
And fear, and love, and serve aright!
When shall we, out of trial brought,
Be perfect in the land of light!
Lord, may we day by day prepare
To see thy face, and serve thee there.
Amen. Topics: Christian Life Repentance; Consecration; Longing for Christ and God; Sanctification Scripture: Nehemiah 1:7 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CHRYSOSTOM
We have not known thee as we ought
