Father, hear the prayer we offer

Author: Love M. Willis (1824-1908) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 241 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer — not for ease that prayer shall be, but for strength that we may ever live our lives courageously. 2 Not for ever in green pastures do we ask our way to be; but the steep and rugged pathway may we tread rejoicingly. 3 Not for ever by still waters would we idly rest and stay; but would smite the living fountains from the rocks along our way. 4 Be our strength in hours of weakness, in our wanderings be our guide; through endeavour, failure, danger, Father, be there at our side. Used With Tune: GOTT WILL'S MACHEN

O, how divine, how sweet the joy

Author: John Needham Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 O, how divine, how sweet the joy, When but one sinner turns, And, with an humble, broken heart, His sins and errors mourns! 2 Pleased with the news, the saints below In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies the tidings go, And heaven is filled with joy. 3 Well pleased the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner's moan; Jesus receives him in his arms, And claims him as his own.

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry; Thy pardoning grace is rich and free: O God, be merciful to me! 2 I smite upon my troubled breast With deep and conscious guilt oppressed; Christ and his cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me! 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me! 4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee: O God, be merciful to me! 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be, "God has been merciful to me!"

Come hither, all ye weary souls

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 323 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Come hither, all ye weary souls; Ye heavy-laden sinners, come; I'll give you rest from all your toils, And raise you to my heavenly home. 2 They shall find rest who learn of me; I'm of a meek and lowly mind; But passion rages like the sea, And pride is restless as the wind. 3 Blest is the man whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight; My yoke is easy to his neck, My grace shall make the burden light. 4 Jesus, we come at thy command; With faith, and hope, and humble zeal, Resign our spirits to thy hand, To mold and guide us at thy will.

Jesus, merciful and mild

Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Jesus, merciful and mild, Lead me as a helpless child: On no other arm but thine Would my weary soul recline; Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live, Guide the wanderer, day by day, In the strait and narrow way. 2 Thou canst fit me by thy grace For the heavenly dwelling-place; All thy promises are sure, Ever shall thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, How to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in thee I see; Thou art all in all to me. 3 Jesus, Saviour all divine, Hast thou made me truly thine? Hast thou bought me by thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God? Hearken to my tender prayer, Let me thine own image bear; Let me love thee more and more, Till I reach heaven's blissful shore. Used With Tune: MARTYN

O, how happy are they

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 712 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 O, how happy are they Who their Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above! Tongue can never express The sweet, comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort is mine, Since the favor divine I received through the blood of the Lamb; Since my heart first believed, What a joy I've received, What a heaven in Jesus' dear name! 3 'Tis a heaven below My Redeemer to know; And the angels can do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus all the day long Is my joy and my song; O that all to this refuge might fly! He hath loved me, indeed, He did suffer and bleed, To redeem such a rebel as I. 5 On the wings of his love, I am carried above All my sin, and temptation, and pain; O, that all would believe, And by sin never grieve, And thus cause him to suffer again.

Behold a Stranger at the door!

Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O, lovely attitude! he stands With melting heart and laden hands; O, matchless kindness! and he shows This matchless kindness to his foes. 3 But will he prove a friend indeed? He will, the very friend you need The Friend of sinners; yes, 'tis he, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine, Turn out his enemy and thine That soul-destroying monster, sin And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5 Admit him ere his anger burn; His feet, departed, ne'er return: Admit him, or the hour's at hand When at his door denied you'll stand.
