A Penitent pleading for Pardon

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #96a (1740) Topics: Confession of Sin, Repentance and Pardon First Line: Shew Pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting Rebel live; Are not thy Mercies large and free; May not a Sinner trust in Thee? 2 My Crimes are great, but not surpass The Pow'r and Glory of thy Grace; Great GOD, thy Nature hath no Bound, So let thy pard'ning Love be found. 3 O wash my Soul from ev'ry Sin, And make my guilty Conscience clean; Here on my Heart the Burden lies, And past Offences pain mine Eyes. 4 My Lips with Shame my Sins confess Against thy Law, against thy Grace; Lord, should thy Judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden Vengeance seize my Breath, I must pronounce Thee just in Death; And if my Soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous Law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling Sinner, Lord, Whose Hope still hov'ring round thy Word, Would light on some sweet Promise there, Some sure Support against Despair.

I come to Thee, O blessed Lord

Author: M.B. Landstad Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #101 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 I come to Thee, O blessed Lord, Invited by Thy gracious word To this Thy feast, to sup with Thee, Grant that a worthy guest I be. 2 I come to Thee with sin and grief, For Thou alone canst give relief, Thy death for me, dear Lord, I plead: O Jesus, help me in my need! 3 Shouldst Thou a strict account demand, Who could, O Lord, before Thee stand? Purge all my secret sins away: Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay! 4 O Jesus, Lamb of God, alone Thou didst for all our sins atone, Though I have sinned and gone astray, Turn not, O Lord, Thy guest away. 5 O Jesus, Lamb of God alone Who didst for all our sins atone, Be merciful, I Thee implore, Have mercy, Lord, for evermore! Tune Title: [I come to Thee, O blessed Lord]

Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us!

Author: G. Thymus Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #104 (1913) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us! Lay down Thy rod and let Thy love upbear us! Hear us poor sinners, lo, sin hath undone us, Have mercy on us! 2 For if Thou shouldst, O Lord, in anger smite us, And for our sins with righteous meed requite us, Then we would perish, in our lost condition Doomed to perdition. 3 O Lord, we pray Thee, grant to us remission! Pardon our sins, we mourn them with contrition, Thou who desirest not the sinner's dying, Grace art supplying. 4 Our frame remember, Thou who life bestowest, We are but dust, this thou, O Father, knowest, Subject to death we are from life's beginning, For we are sinning. 5 Look to Thy Son's most bitter death and passion, Who on the cross did purchase our salvation, When from His wounds His blood was freely streaming, The world redeeming. 6 Therefore, O Father, through Thy dear Son's merit, Spare us and let us grace through Him inherit, That we in heaven with Thee, of life the giver, May live forever. Tune Title: [Turn, Lord, Thy wrath away, in mercy spare us!]

Psalm 32

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.69 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: O Blessed souls are they Lyrics: O Blessed souls are they Whose sins are covered o'er! Divinely blest, to whom the Lord Imputes their guilt no more. They mourn their follies past, And keep their hearts with care; Their lips and lives, without deceit, Shall prove their faith sincere. While I concealed my guilt, I felt the fest'ring wound; Till I confessed my sins to thee, And ready pardon found.

Psalm 32

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.70 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: Happy the man to whom his God Lyrics: Happy the man to whom his God No more imputes his sin, But, washed in the Redeemer's blood, Hath made his garments clean! Happy beyond expression he Whose debts are thus discharged; And from the guilty bondage free, He feels his soul enlarged. His spirit hates deceit and lies, His words are all sincere; He guards his heart, he guards his eyes, To keep his conscience clear. While I my inward guilt suppressed, No quiet could I find; Thy wrath lay burning in my breast, And racked my tortured mind. Then I confessed my troubled thoughts, My secret sins revealed; Thy pard'ning grace forgave my faults, Thy grace my pardon sealed. This shall invite thy saints to pray; When like a raging flood Temptations rise, our strength and stay Is a forgiving God. Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English

Psalm 32 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.71 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: Blest is the man, for ever blest Lyrics: Blest is the man, for ever blest, Whose guilt is pardoned by his God; Whose sins with sorrow are confessed, And covered with his Savior's blood. Blest is the man to whom the Lord Imputes not his iniquities; He pleads no merit of reward, And not on works, but grace relies. From guile his heart and lips are free; His humble joy, his holy fear, With deep repentance well agree, And join to prove his faith sincere. How glorious is that righteousness That hides and cancels all his sins, While a bright evidence of grace Through his whole life appears and shine! Scripture: Psalm 32 Languages: English
