In Mercy, Not In Wrath, Rebuke

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, rebuke Thy feeble worm, my God! My spirit dreads Thine angry look, And trembles at Thy rod. 2 Have mercy, Lord, for I am weak, Regard my heavy groans; O let Thy voice of comfort speak, And heal my broken bones! 3 By day my busy beating head Is filled with anxious fears; By night, upon my restless bed, I weep a flood of tears. 4 Thus desolate I sit and mourn, Mine eyes grow dull with grief; How long, my Lord, ere Thou return, And bring my soul relief? 5 O come and show Thy power to save, And spare my fainting breath; For who can praise Thee in the grave, Or sing Thy name in death? 6 Hear Satan, cruel and envious foe, Insult me in my pain; He smiles to see me brought so low, And tells me hope is vain. 7 But hence, thou enemy, depart! Nor tempt me to despair; My Savior comes to cheer my heart, The Lord has heard my prayer. Used With Tune: MAITLAND Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

While Sinners Utter Boasting Words

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While sinners utter boasting words, And glory in their shame; The Lord, well pleased, an ear affords To those who fear His name. 2 They often meet to seek His face, And what they do or say, Is noted in His book of grace, Against another day. 3 For they, by faith, a day descry, A joyfully expect, When He, descending from the sky, His jewels will collect. 4 Unnoticed now, because unknown, A poor and suffering few; He comes to claim them for His own, And bring them forth to view. 5 With transport then, their Savior’s care And favor they shall prove; As tender parents guard and spare The children of their love. 6 Assembled worlds will then discern The saints alone are blest; When wrath shall like an oven burn, And vengeance strike the rest.

How Shall I Look Upon That Brow?

Author: K. Y. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: How shall I look upon that brow Lyrics: 1 How shall I look upon that brow, O crowned with thorns for me? How shall I lift my sinful eyes, Those glorious eyes to see? 2 How shall I dare to look upon The piercèd hands and feet, When all the dead in Christ shall rise Their risen Lord to meet? 3 How shall I venture, holy Lord, To come before Thee now, All stained with sin my evil heart, Its mark upon my brow? 4 My waywardness, my willfulness, The sins I dare not name, Gave to the Lord of Life His death, The Lord of Glory shame. 5 The lame and blind were hated then Of holy David’s soul; They came to Thee in temple, Lord, And Thou didst make them whole. 6 The leper dared not sit or rest Where trace of man had been; Yet didst Thou deign, all merciful, To touch, and make him clean. 7 From some the righteous pure will shrink, And shun their face to see, But harlot and the publican Thou calledst unto Thee. 8 And when Thy blessèd hands were pierced, Upon the bitter tree, Even in that hour of agony, Thou thought with love of me. 9 Alas! I knew not what I did, I know not what I do, When by my sins I crucify The Son of God anew. 10 I only know that I am vile, More vile than words can say, But know that Jesus did not will The worst be cast away.

The Wonders of Redeeming Love

Author: Roswell F. Cottrell, 1814-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The wonders of redeeming love Our highest thoughts exceed; The Son of God comes from above For sinful man to bleed. 2. He gives Himself, His life, His all, A sinless sacrifice, For man He drains the cup of gall, For man the Victim dies. 3. And now before His Father’s face His precious blood He pleads; For those who seek the throne of grace, His love still intercedes. 4. He knows the frailties of our frame, For He has borne our grief; Our great high priest once felt the same, And He can send relief. 5. His love will not be satisfied, Till He in glory sees The faithful ones for whom He died From sin forever free.

My Savior, How Thy Soul Was Awed

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 My Savior, how Thy soul was awed, When, hanging on the tree, Thou criedst aloud, "My God, my God," Hast Thou forsaken Me? 2 When angry foes around Thee strove, And faithless friends forsook; And earth below, and Heaven above, Wore one dark threatening look. 3 Beneath Thy cross, Lord, let me lie, Thy bleeding love to view; And weep, and watch, and pray that I May ne’er those wounds renew. 4 Beneath Thy cross O let me lie, And mark what Thou hast won, And hear Thy last triumphant cry, "’Tis done! The work is done!" 5 Lord, let my soul that triumph share; I look to Thee to save. Where is thy sting, O death? and where Thy victory, O grave?
