God of Grace and God of Glory

Author: Harry Emerson Fosdick Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 160 hymnals Topics: Lent 3 Year A; Lent 2 Year B; Lent 3 Year B Lyrics: 1 God of grace and God of glory, on your people pour your power; now fulfil your church’s story; bring its bud to glorious flower. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour. 2 Lo, the hosts of evil round us scorn your Christ, assail your ways; fears and doubts too long have bound us; free our hearts to work and praise. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days. 3 Cure your children’s warring madness, bend our pride to your control; shame our wanton selfish gladness, rich in goods and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, lest we miss your kingdom's goal. 4 Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may be armoured with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free. Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor thee. Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

Jesús mi Salvador, será posible

Author: José M. de Mora; Joseph Grigg, 1720-1768; Benjamin Francis, 1734-1799 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Lent Lyrics: 1 Jesús, mi Salvador, ¿será posible Que se avergüence algún mortal de Ti? ¿Y que olvidando tus sublimes hechos, Niegue lo que por él sufriste aquí? 2 ¿Avergonzarme de Jesús? Más pronto Repudiaría el firmamento el sol; Antes se avergonzara la mañana Del fresco, puro y nítido arrebol. 3 ¿Avergonzarme del querido amigo, Mi apoyo, mi esperanza, mi sostén? No! mi vergüenza es que, aunque le amo tanto, No le amo siempre como al sumo bien. 4 ¿Avergonzarme de Jesus? Sí, cuando No tenga culpa alguna por lavar, Ni bienes por pedir, ni miedo oculto, Ni lágrimas, ni aún alma por salvar. 5 Hasta ese día he de confesarte; Para salvarme espero sólo en Ti; Y mi gloria será que Jesucristo No se avergüence, no, jamás de mí.

In vain would boasting reason find

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Topics: Lent, Second Sunday Lyrics: 1 In vain would boating reason find The path to happiness and God; Her weak directions leave the mind Bewildered in a doubtful road. 2 Jesus, Thy words alone impart Eternal life; on these I live; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart, Than all the powers of nature give. 3 Here let my constant feet abide; Thou art the true, the living Way: Let Thy good Spirit be my Guide To the bright realms of endless day. 4 The various forms that men devise To shake my faith with treacherous art, I scorn as vanity and lies, And bind Thy Gospel to my heart.

O God, Be Merciful to Me

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Lent and Holy Week Lyrics: O God, be merciful to me Because your love is strong; Now wash me from iniquity And cleanse me from all wrong. These words are old, but still they live Within our hearts today. We cry to you: “O God, forgive!” And “Wash our sins away!” My sin has kept me far from you; Your wrath is justified. Why is it, Lord? The things I do Have crushed my bones inside! I try to make it on my own As if I’m all I need, Until I find I’m all alone, Wrapped up in pride and greed. Yet this is not the final word, For you forgive our sin! When we return to you, O Lord, You give us joy again. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
