From deepest woe I cry to thee

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Hymnal: EH1982 #151 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Tune Title: AUS TIEFER NOT Lyrics: 1. From deepest woe I cry to thee; Lord, hear me, I implore thee! Bend down thy gracious ear to me; I lay my sins before thee. If thou rememberest every sin, if nought but just reward we win, could we abide thy presence? 2. Thou grantest pardon through thy love; thy grace alone availeth. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove; yea, e'en the best life faileth. For none may boast themselves of aught, but must confess thy grace hath wrought whate'er in them is worthy. 3. And thus my hope is in the Lord, and not in my own merit; I rest upon his faithful word to them of contrite spirit. That he is merciful and just, here is my comfort and my trust; his help I wait with patience. Topics: Lent Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: EH1982 #522 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUSTRIA Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode; on the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See! the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters and all fear of want remove. Who can faint, when such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner, light by night, and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which he gives them when they pray. 4 Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis his love his people raises over self to reign as kings: and as priests, his solemn praises each for a thank-offering brings.
