The past is dark with sin and shame

The past is dark with sin and shame
O Love Divine! that stooped to share
Author: Dr. O. W. Holmes, 1809-1894 Appears in 274 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love Divine! that stooped to share
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear,
On Thee we cast each earth-born care,
We smile at pain while Thou art near.
2 Though long the weary way we tread,
And sorrow crown each lingering year,
No path we shun, no darkness dread,
Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near.
3 When drooping pleasure turns to grief,
And trembling faith is changed to fear,
The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf,
Shall softly tell us Thou art near.
4 On Thee we fling our burdening woe,
O Love Divine, for ever dear;
Content to suffer while we know,
Living or dying, Thou art near! Topics: God Love of; The Christian Life Comfort and Sympathy; Love Divine; Love Of God Used With Tune: BRESLAU
O Love Divine! that stooped to share
He sat to watch o'er customs paid
Author: William Bright, 1824-1901 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. He sat to watch o'er customs paid,
a man of scorned and hardening trade,
alike the symbol and the tool
of foreign master's hated rule.
2. But grace within his heart had stirred,
there needed but the timely word;
it came, true Lord of souls, from thee,
that royal summons, "Follow me."
3. Enough, when thou wast passing by,
to hear thy voice, to meet thine eye;
he rose, responsive to the call,
and left his task, his gains, his all.
4. O wise exchange! with these to part,
and lay up treasures in the heart;
let them of Matthew's wealth partake,
who yield up all for Jesus' sake.

Repent, the Kingdom Draweth Nigh
Author: Anna B. Hoppe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Repent, the kingdom draweth nigh,
The herald of the Lord doth cry.
Ye sinners lost through Adam’s fall,
Will ye not hearken to the call?

Haste His forgiveness to receive.
The Prince of Life, incarnate Word,
Life and salvation can afford.
3. Divine Redeemer, glorious King!
Repentant hearts to Thee we bring.
Thy holy blood for us was spilt,
Cleanse us from all the stains of guilt.
4. Drawn by Thy Spirit, through Thy Word,
Thine invitation have we heard.
In answer to Thy sweet request,
We come to Thee, O Christ, for rest.
5. Thy pardon, full, complete, and free,
Removes sin’s awful penalty.
Our Father’s love is now restored;
Thou hast redeemed us, dearest Lord.
6. Let us Thy name forever bless,
On earth Thy Gospel truth confess,
Till saved by grace, through faith in Thee,
The gates of paradise we see. Used With Tune: BRESLAU
Repent, the Kingdom Draweth Nigh
O Lord, how many Miseries
Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I. O Lord, how many Miseries
Assault and discompose my Peace;
The Path that leads to SION'S Gate
Is full of Thorns, and very streight.
II. How hard it is for Flesh and Blood
To seek the everlasting Good;
I know not where to turn my Face,
But, Christ! to thy redeeming Grace.
III. My Heart has never been dismay'd,
Whene'er to thee it look'd for Aid;
No Mortal yet was ever lost,
Who put in CHRIST alone his Trust.
IV. That thou art God, as well as Man,
Lord, thy redeeming Pow'r makes plain;
No greater Wonder has been heard,
Than this, that God in Flesh appear'd.
V. He sav'd us by his Death and Tomb,
From Sin, and from the Wrath to come:
My Jesu, Lord and God alone!
What Name is sweeter than thy own?
VI. No Grief can ever be so sore,
But thy Salvation cheers us more;
No Pain so raging but thy Name
Can still asswage and heal the same.
Vii. Nay, though my Flesh and Heart shou'd fail,
Thy Presence, Lord! will yet prevail;
Enjoying thee, and thy free Love,
I share the Bliss of Saints Above.
VIII. Thine would I be in Soul and Mind,
And leave Sin, Death, and Hell behind;
Nor can I better fix my Trust,
Than in the God of whom I boast.
IX. Thou never cast forsake thy Child,
That by thy Grace is reconcil'd;
Thou art the Shepherd of my soul,
That ever keeps me sound and whole.
Par the Second:
X. Thou art my Comfort and Renown,
My Treasure and eternal Crown;
No Tongue can tell, no Voice can sing
What Joy the Name of Christ doth bring.
XI. He that has Faith and Charity,
Can by Experience join with me;
I'd make this bold Assertion good,
And dare to seal it with my Blood.
XII. Were there no Joy in God for me,
'Twere better I should never be;
For he that has not CHRIST within,
Is dead in Trespasses and Sin.
XIII. My Soul's fond Bridegroom and Delight;
Thou Pearl, above all others bright,
In thee I justly more rejoice,
Than in the World's most glitt'ring Toys.
XIV. As often as I think on thee,
My Heart for Joy doth leap in me;
When e'er I fix in thee my Hope,
I find a Comfort bears me up.
XV. When in my Pain I pray and sing,
My Heart is quite another Thing;
Thy Spirit witnesses, that this
Is but the Fore-taste of thy Bliss.
XVI. Therefore while Life remains with me,
I'll bear the Cross and follow thee:
To Thee direct this Heart of mine;
Let it to Nothing else incline,
XVII. And aid me by thy mighty Grace,
With Joy to run my Christian Race;
Help me to conquer Flesh and Blood,
And make my Christian Warfare good.
XVIII. Preserve my Faith from Error free,
That I may live and die in Thee;
My Saviour, grant me my Desire,
Let me be Thine when I expire. Topics: Mystery of the Cross Used With Tune: [O Lord, how many Miseries]

O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art
Author: Bartholomaüs Helder; Rev. A. Crull Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lamb of God, who art
The Life and Comfort of my heart:
From wrath I, wretched sinner, flee
With all my many sins to Thee.
2 O God, my sinfulness is great!
I groan beneath a dreadful weight;
Yet, be Thou merciful, I pray,
And take my guilty curse away.
3 St. John, the Baptist, biddeth me
To cast my burden, Lamb, on Thee:
Since Thou art come, as Friend indeed,
To succor me and all in need.
4 Grant that I may amend my ways,
And keep Thy Word throughout my days:
To this end, Lord, abide with me,
And when I die take me to Thee. Topics: The Church Year John the Baptist; Fourth Sunday of Advent Used With Tune: BRESLAU (Herr Jesu Christ, mein's Leben's Licht)
