I Need Thee, Precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield; Rev. Ernst Adrian Zetterstrand Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 308 hymnals Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain, Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner’s perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store; I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me: I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble, And all my sorrows share. 4 I need Thee, blesséd Jesus, I need Thee day by day, To fill me with Thy fullness, To lead me on my way; I need Thy Holy Spirit To teach me what I am, To show me more of Jesus, To point me to the Lamb. Amen. Used With Tune: O BONA PATRIA

O Thou That Hear'st When Sinners Cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 344 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, though all my crimes before thee lie, behold them not with angry look, but blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, and form my soul averse to sin; let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, cast out and banished from thy sight; thy holy joys, my God, restore, and guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, is all the sacrifice I bring; the God of grace will ne'er despise a broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, and owns thy dreadful sentence just: look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, and save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, and they shall praise a pard'ning God.

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: The Way of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me; take me, save me, through thy Son; that which thou wouldst have me, make me, let thy will in me be done.

Freely now to thee I proffer this relenting heart of mine; freely life and soul I offer, gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, bore our sins upon the tree; on that sacrifice relying, now I look in hope to thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, fold me to thy loving breast; in thy love for ever living I must be forever blest.

Ah, how shall fallen man

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God? If he contend in righteousness, We sink beneath his rod. 2 If he our ways should mark With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise? 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with thee contend? Or who, that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains, in thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake; The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake. 5 Ah! how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none, can meet him and escape, But through the Saviour's blood. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Can sinners hope for heaven

Author: Anon. Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Can sinners hope for heaven, Who love this world so well? Or dream of future happiness, While on the road to hell? 2 Shall they hosannas sing, With an unhallowed tongue? Shall palms adorn the guilty hand Which does its neighbor wrong? 3 Can sin's deceitful way Conduct to Zion's hill? Or those expect with God to reign Who disregard his will? 4 Thy grace, O God, alone, Good hopes can e'er afford: The pardoned and the pure shall see The glory of the Lord. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
