With Broken Heart and Contrite Sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #323 (1941) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession and Absolution 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 opprest; 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 Nor 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.

Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Oh, may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 61 Languages: English Tune Title: HAMBURG

Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, My prayer let come before Thee. If Thou rememb'rest each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Who may abide Thy presence? 2 Thy love and grace alone avail To blot out my transgression; The best and holiest deeds must fail To break sin's dread oppression. Before Thee none can boasting stand, But all must fear Thy strict demand And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the Lord And not in mine own merit; It rests upon His faithful Word To them of contrite spirit That He is merciful and just; This is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night And till the morning waken, My heart shall never doubt His might Nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed; Wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our time and sore or woes, His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is He, Who will at last His Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOT

Allelujah, allelujah! 2 Trust not in princes, they are but mortal; Earth-born they are and soon decay. Naught are their counsels at life's last portal, When the dark grave doth claim its prey. Since mortals can no help afford, Trust ye in Christ, our God and Lord. Allelujah, allelujah! 3 Blessed, yea, blessed is he forever Whose help is in the Lord most high, Whom from the saving faith naught can sever, And who in hope to Christ draws nigh. To all who trust in Him, our Lord, Counsel and aid He doth afford. Allelujah, allelujah! 4 God the Almighty, the great Creator, Ruler of sky and land and sea, All things ordained, and sooner or later They come to pass unfailingly. His rule is over rich and poor, His promise ever standeth sure. Allelujah, allelujah! 5 Penitent sinners, for mercy crying, Pardon and peace from Him obtain; Ever the wants of the poor supplying, Their faithful God He doth remain. He helps His children in distress, The widows and the fatherless. Allelujah, allelujah! 6 Praise, all you nations, the name so holy Of Him who doth such wondrous things! All that hath being, to praise Him solely, With happy heart its Amen sings! Children of God, with angel host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Allelujah, allelujah!

Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun A year or two, but wallowed in a score?

And having done that, Thou hast done, I fear no more. Languages: English Tune Title: DONNE
