Weary of earth, and laden with my sin
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Christ Atoning work of Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heav'n and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home;
And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."
2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way,
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
"Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And his the blood that can for all atone
And set me faultless there before the throne.
5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer,
That in the Father's courts my glorious dress
May be the garment of thy righteousness.
6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

The Tender Mercies of God
Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Christ Atonement of First Line: O my soul, bless thou Jehovah Lyrics: 1 O my soul, bless thou Jehovah,
All within me, bless His Name;
Bless Jehovah and forget not
All His mercies to proclaim.
He forgives all thy transgressions;
Heals thy sicknesses and pains;
He redeems thee from destruction,
And His love thy life sustains.
2 He with tender mercies crowns thee,
Satisfies thy full request,
So that like the tireless eagle
Thou with youth renewed art blessed.
Righteous is the Lord in judgment
Unto all that are oppressed;
To His people He has ever
Made His goodness manifest.
3 Yea, the Lord is full of mercy
And compassion for distress,
Slow to anger and abundant
In His grace and tenderness.
He will not be angry alway,
Nor will He forever chide;
Tho' we oft have sinned against Him
Still His love and grace abide.
4 As the heav'ns are high above us,
Great his love to us has proved;
Far as east from west is distant,
He has all our sins removed.
As a father loves his children,
Feeling pity for their woes,
So the Lord to those who fear Him
Mercy and compassion shows. Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: AUTUMN

Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled!

Throned in light ere worlds could be,
Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.

O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!

By His passion we can plead;
God has borne all mortal anguish,
Surely He will know our need.

Upon the Saviour's brow;
His head with radiant glories crown'd,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compare
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
And flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
4 To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet,
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
6 Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

For His arm is strong.

He has made it known,
And before the nations
Is His justice shown.

Faithful to His own,
And our God's salvation
All the earth has known.
Joyful, all ye people,
Sing before the Lord;
Shout and sing His praises
Now in glad accord.

Earth with fullness stored,
Floods and fields and mountains,
Sing before the Lord;
For He comes with justice,
Evil to redress,
And to judge the nations
In His righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 98 Used With Tune: ST. MARY MAGDALENE
