Save Me, O God, Because the Floods

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 Save me, O God, because the floods Come in upon my soul, I sink in depths where none can stand, Deep waters o'er me roll. 2 My constant calling wearies me, My throat is parched and dried; My eyes grow dim while for my God Still waiting I abide. 3 The foes who hate me unprovoked Are strong and still increase, Though to disarm their enmity My right I yield for peace. 4 O God, my folly and my sin Thy holy eye can see; Yet save from shame,Lord God of hosts, Thy saints that wait on Thee. 5 Forbid, O God, our covenant God, That those who seek Thy face Should see Thy servant put to shame And share in my disgrace. 6 It is for Thee I am reproached, For Thee I suffer shame, Until my brethren know me not, And hated is my name. 7 It is my zeal for Thy abode That has consumed my life; Reproached by those reproaching Thee, I suffer in the strife. 8 I wept, with fasting bowed my soul, Yet that was made my shame; When I in sackcloth clothed myself, Their byword I became. 9 The men who sit within the gate With slander do me wrong, And they who linger at their cups Make me their jest and song.

I Know a Fount

Author: O. C.; Cora Brockhuizen Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ; Cleansing and Forgiveness; Passion and Cross First Line: I know a fount where sins are wash'd away Lyrics: 1 I know a fount where sins are wash'd away, I know a place where night is turned to day; Burdens are lifted, blind eyes made to see; There's a wonder working pow'r In the blood of Calvary. 2 I know a Saviour, He's a faithful friend, One who is with me, will be to the end. He now in glory intercedes for me, 'Twas His precious cleansing blood, that once flowed on Calvary. 3 I have a peace, this world could never give, Wonderful peace, for now in Christ I live. From condemnation He hath made me free, What a wonder working pow'r, In the blood of Calvary. 4 I have a hope, My Lord will surely come, All His redeemed ones shall be gathered home. Wit Him in glory evermore to be, Then we'll praise Him for the blood, That was shed on Calvary. Used With Tune: [I know a fount where sins are wash'd away]

The triumphs of the cross

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Triumphs of the Cross of Christ First Line: No more, dear Savior, will I boast Lyrics: 1 No more, dear Savior, will I boast Of beauty, wealth, or loud applause; The world has all its glories lost, Amid the triumphs of the cross. 2 In every feature of thy face Beauty her fairest charms displays; Truth, wisdom, majesty and grace Shine thence in sweetly mingled rays. 3 Thy wealth the power of thought transcends, ’Tis vast, immense, and all divine: Thy empire, Lord, o’er worlds extends; The sun, the moon, the stars are thine. 4 Yet (O how marvelous the sight!) I see thee on a cross expire; Thy Godhead veil'd in sable night; And angels from the scene retire. 5 But, why from these sad scenes retreat? Why with your wings your faces hide? He ne'er appear'd so good, so great, As when he bow'd his head and died. 6 The indignation of a God On him avenging justice hurl'd: Beneath the weight he firmly stood, And nobly sav'd a falling world. 7 These triumphs of stupendous grace Surprise, rejoice, and melt my heart; Lord, at thy cross I stand and gaze, Nor would I ever thence depart!

How clear is our vocation, Lord

Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903- Meter: 8.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Cross; Growth in Faith; One Life in Christ Discipleship; Profession of Faith; Saints Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord, when once we heed your call: to live according to your Word, and daily learn, refreshed, restored that you are Lord of all and will not let us fall. 2 But if, forgetful, we should find your yoke is hard to bear, if worldly pressures fray the mind and love itself cannot unwind its tangled skein of care: our inward life repair. 3 We mark your saints, how they became in hindrances more sure, whose joyful virtues put to shame the casual way we wear your name, and by our faults obscure your power to cleanse and cure. 4 In what you give us, Lord, to do, together or alone, in old routines and ventures new, may we not cease to look to you– the cross you hung upon— all you endeavored done.
