Kyrie eleison. 4 Hallow the day which God hath blest, That Thou and all Thy house may rest: Keep hand and heart from labor free, That God may have His work in Thee.

Kyrie eleison. 11 God these Commandments gave, therein To show thee, son of man, thy sin, And make thee also well perceive, How unto God man ought to live. Kyrie eleison. 12 Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we A Mediator have in Thee; Without Thy help our works are vain, And merit only endless pain. Kyrie eleison. Used With Tune: OLD HUNDREDTH

Th'abyss of many a former sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Repentance Lyrics: 1 Th' abyss of many a former sin Encloses me and bears me in: Like billows my transgressions roll: Be Thou the Pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and mis'ry brought, The slave to many a godless thought, I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now and dispossessed Of that my portion bright and blessed, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee. Accept me Lord, I seek Thy grace, And let me see a Father's face. 4 With that saved thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be Merciful, O God most high! With that lost Prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:— O Thou, who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

How beauteous are their feet

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 715 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold Thy Savior-King, He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, That kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heavenly light; Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight! 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad: Let every nation now behold Their Savior and their God.
