From Depths of Woe I Raise to Thee

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I raise to thee the voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me and hear my supplication: if thou iniquities dost mark, our secret sins and misdeeds dark, O who shall stand before thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, grace, grace alone availeth; our works, alas! are all in vain; in much the best life faileth: no man can glory in thy sight, all must alike confess thy might, and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, and not in mine own merit; on him my soul shall rest, his Word upholds my fainting spirit: his promised mercy is my fort, my comfort, and my sweet support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the live-long night, and till the dawn appeareth, my heart still trusteth in his might; it doubteth not nor feareth: do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed; and wait till God appeareth. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes his grace much more aboundeth; his helping love no limit knows, our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is he, who will at last his Israel free from all their sin and sorrow. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOT Text Sources: Trans. comp.; alt. 1961

Lord, we confess our numerous faults

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Lord, we confess our numerous faults, How great our guilt has been! Foolish and vain were all our thoughts, And all our lives were sin. 2 But, O my soul, for ever praise, For ever love his name Who turns thy feet from dangerous ways Of folly, sin, and shame. 3 'Tis not by works of righteousness Which our own hands have done; But we are sav'd by sovereign grace Abounding through his Son. 4 'Tis from the mercy of our God That all our hopes begin; 'Tis by the water and the blood Our souls are wash'd from sin. 5 'Tis through the purchase of his death Who hung upon the tree, The Spirit is sent down to breathe On such dry bones as we. 6 Rais'd from the dead we live anew; And, justified by grace, We shall appear in glory too, And see our Father's face.

Salvation unto Us Has Come

Author: Paul Speratus Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 Salvation unto us has come by God’s free grace and favor. Our works cannot avert our doom; the law can save us never. Faith looks to Jesus Christ alone, who for his people did atone; he is our one Redeemer. 2 What God did in his law demand and none to him could render caused wrath and woe on ev'ry hand for man, the vile offender. Our flesh has not the pure desires God's holy law of us requires, and lost is our condition. 3 It was a false, misleading dream that God his law had given so sinners could themselves redeem and by their works gain heaven. The law is just a mirror bright to bring the inbred sin to light that lurks within our nature. 4 From sin our flesh could not abstain; sin held its sway unceasing. The task was hopeless and in vain; our guilt was e’er increasing. None can remove sin’s poisoned dart or purify our guileful heart, so deep is our corruption. 5 Yet as the law must be fulfilled or we must die despairing, Christ Jesus came; God’s wrath he stilled, our human nature sharing. The law he has for us obeyed and thus the Father’s vengeance stayed which over us had rulèd. 6 All blessing, honor, thanks, and praise to Father, Son, and Spirit, the God who saved us by his grace-- all glory to his merit! O triune God in heav’n above, who has revealed your saving love, your blessèd name be hallowed. Scripture: Romans 3:21-31 Used With Tune: ES IST DAS HEIL Text Sources: Trans. composite, alt.

I Am Not Skilled to Understand

Author: Dora Greenwell Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Salvation by Grace Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand what God has willed, what God has planned; I only know that at his right hand is One who is my Savior! 2 I take him at his word indeed: “Christ died for sinners,” this I read; for in my heart I find a need of him to be my Savior! 3 That he should leave his place on high and come for sinful man to die, you count it strange? So once did I, before I knew my Savior! 4 And oh, that he fulfilled may see the travail of his soul in me, and with his work contented be, as I with my dear Savior! 5 Yes, living, dying, let me bring my strength, my solace from this spring; that he who lives to be my King once died to be my Savior.
