Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry
Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry;
Forgive us thro' thy matchless grace,
On thee alone our souls rely;
Be thou our strength and righteousness.
2 Forgive thou us, as we forgive
The ills we suffer from our foes;
Restore us, Lord, and bid us live;
O! let us in thine arms repose.
3 Forgive us, for our guilt is great,
Our wretched souls no merit claim;
For sovereign mercy still we wait,
And ask but in the Saviour's name. Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Jesus, engrave it on my heart
Author: Samuel Medley Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus, engrave it on my heart
That thou the one thing needful art;
I could from all things parted be,
But never, never, Lord, from thee.
2 Needful is thy most precious blood,
To reconcile my soul to God;
Needful is thy indulgent care,
Needful thy all-prevailing prayer.
3 Needful thy presence, dearest Lord,
True peace and comfort to afford;
Needful thy promise, to impart
Fresh life and vigor to my heart.
4 Needful art thou, my Guide, my Stay,
Through all life's dark and weary way;
Nor will at last less needful be
To bring me home to heaven and thee. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT
Jesus, engrave it on my heart
Take my heart, O Father, take it!
Author: Anon. Appears in 235 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Take my heart, O Father, take it!
Make and keep it all thine own;
Let thy Spirit melt and break it,
This proud heart of sin and stone.
Father, make it pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife,
Turning from the paths unholy,
Of this vain and sinful life.
2 Ever let thy grace surround it,
Strengthen it with power divine;
Till thy cords of love have bound it,
Make it to be wholly thine.
May the blood of Jesus heal it,
And its sins be all forgiven;
Holy Spirit, take and seal it,
Guide it in the path to heaven. Used With Tune: DEERHURST
Take my heart, O Father, take it!
Does the gospel word proclaim
Author: John Newton Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Does the gospel word proclaim
Rest for those that weary be?
Then, my soul, put in thy claim;
'Tis that promise speaks to thee.
2 Marks of grace I cannot show,
All polluted is my best;
But I weary am, I know,
And the weary long for rest.
3 Burdened with a load of sin.
Harassed with tormenting doubt;
Hourly conflicts from within,
Hourly crosses from without.
4 All my little strength is gone,
Sink must I without supply;
Sure upon the earth is none
Can more weary be than I.
5 In the ark the weary dove
Found a welcome resting place;
Thus my spirit longs to prove
Rest in Christ, the Ark of grace. Used With Tune: ALLETTA

in a believer's ear!
it soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
it satisfies the hungry soul,
and gives the weary rest.
3 Dear name, the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place;
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace!
4 Jesus, my shepherd, guardian, friend,
my prophet, priest and king,
my Lord, my life, my way, my end —
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see you as you are,
I'll praise you as I ought.
6 Till then I would your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of your name
refresh my soul in death. Used With Tune: RACHEL
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Like sheep we went astray
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Like sheep we went astray,
And broke the fold of God,
Each wandering in a different way,
But all the downward road.
2 How dreadful was the hour,
When God our wanderings laid,
And did at once his vengeance pour
Upon the Shepherd's head!
3 How glorious was the grace,
When Christ sustained the stroke!
His life and blood the Shepherd pays,
A ransom for the flock.
4 But God shall raise his head
O'er all the sons of men,
And make him see a numerous seed,
To recompense his pain. Used With Tune: SHAWMUT
Like sheep we went astray
Come, ye souls by sin afflicted
Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Come, ye souls by sin afflicted,
Bowed with fruitless sorrow down,
By the perfect law convicted,
Through the cross behold the crown;
Look to Jesus;
Mercy flows through him alone,
2 Take his easy yoke and wear it;
Love will make obedience sweet;
Christ will give you strength to bear it,
While his wisdom guides your feet
Safe to glory,
Where his ransomed captives meet.
3 Sweet as home to pilgrims weary,
Light to newly opened eyes,
Or full springs in deserts dreary,
Is the rest the cross supplies;
All who taste it
Shall to rest immortal rise. Used With Tune: COME, YE SINNERS
Come, ye souls by sin afflicted
Great Shepherd of your people, hear!

your presence now display;
as you have given a place for prayer,
so give us hearts to pray.
2 Within these walls let holy peace
and love and friendship dwell;
here give the troubled conscience ease,
the wounded spirit heal.
3 May we in faith receive your word,
in faith present our prayers;
and in the presence of our Lord
unburden all our cares.
4 The hearing ear, the seeing eye,
the contrite heart bestow;
and shine upon us from on high,
that we in grace may grow. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE
Great Shepherd of your people, hear!
