Nearer, Still Nearer, Close to Thy Heart

Author: C. H. Morris Meter: 9.10.9.10.10 Appears in 234 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1 Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy heart, Draw me, my Saviour, so precious Thou art; Fold me, O fold me close to Thy breast, Shelter me safe in that haven of rest, Shelter me safe in that haven of rest. 2 Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring, Naught as an off'ring to Jesus my King; Only my sinful, now contrite heart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart, Grant me the cleansing Thy blood doth impart. 3 Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be Thine, Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign; All of its pleasures, pomp, and its pride, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified, Give me but Jesus, my Lord crucified. 4 Nearer, still nearer, while life shall last, Till safe in glory my anchor is cast; Through endless ages ever to be, Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee, Nearer, my Saviour, still nearer to Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: NEARER, STILL NEARER

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814-1863 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Temptation, Penitence and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heav'n; there is no place where earth's failings have such kindly judgement giv'n. 2 But we make his love too narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he would not own. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed, there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader than the scope of human mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, we should take him at his word; and our hearts would find assurance in the promise of the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 130:7 Used With Tune: DAILY DAILY

Great God, your love has called us here

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here as we, by love, for love were made. Your living likeness still we bear, though marred, dishonoured, disobeyed. We come, with all our heart and mind your call to hear, your love to find. 2 We come with self-inflicted pains of broken trust and chosen wrong, half-free, half-bound by inner chains, by social forces swept along, by powers and systems close confined, yet seeking hope for humankind. 3 Great God, in Christ you call our name and then receive us as your own, not through some merit, right or claim, but by your gracious love alone. We strain to glimpse your mercy seat and find you kneeling at our feet. 4 Then take the towel, and break the bread, and humble us, and call us friends. Suffer and serve till all are fed, and show how grandly love intends to work till all creation sings, to fill all worlds, to crown all things. 5 Great God, in Christ you set us free your life to live, your joy to share. Give us your Spirit's liberty to turn from guilt and dull despair and offer all that faith can do while love is making all things new. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:17 Used With Tune: MELITA

Heal Us, Emmanuel, Hear Our Prayer

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Penitence Lyrics: 1. Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer; we wait to feel thy touch; deep-wounded souls to thee repair, and Savior, we are such. 2. Our faith is feeble, we confess we faintly trust thy word; but wilt thou pity us the less? Be that far from thee, Lord! 3. Remember him who once applied with trembling for relief; "Lord, I believe," with tears he cried; "O help my unbelief!" 4. She, too, who touched thee in the press and healing virtue stole, was answered, "Daughter, go in peace: thy faith hath made thee whole." 5. Like her, with hopes and fears we come to touch thee if we may; O send us not despairing home; send none unhealed away. Scripture: Matthew 9:20-22 Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG

Depart in peace, and sin no more And e'er my pard'ning grace adore. 3 We bless The wondrous grace, O Lord, Who pardon grantest through Thy Word; We now enjoy the heav'nly good Through Jesus' holy, precious blood. 4 Now, Lord, us all Thy Spirit give, Help us in holiness to live; Preserve to us, till life is spent, Thy Holy Word and Sacrament.
