O thou that Hear'st when Sinners Cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Tho' 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 Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without Thy light, Cast out and banish from Thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Tho' I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford And let me now come near Thy throne To plead the merits of Thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring. Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Oh, may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Amen. Topics: Confession and Absolution Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

When I hunger, Jesus feeds me, Into pleasant pastures leads me; When I thirst, He bids me go Where the quiet waters flow. 3 Who so happy as I am, Even now the Shepherd's lamb? And when my short life is ended, By His angel host attended, He shall fold me to His breast, There within His arms to rest. Amen.

Our God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Our Shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal Home! 2 Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Thy word commands our flesh to dust: "Return, ye son of men!" All nations rose from earth at first And turn to earth again. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 7 Like flowery fields the nations stand, Pleased with the morning light; The flowers beneath the mower's hand Lie withering ere 'tis night. 8 O God, our Help in ages past, Our Hope for years to come, Be Thou our Guard while life shall last And our eternal Home! Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above, Pray and praise Thee without ceasing, Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then, Thy new creation; Pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee, Changed from glory into glory, Till in heav'n we take our place, Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

His chariots of wrath The deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path On the wings of the storm. 3 This earth, with its store Of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy pow'r Hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast By a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, Like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care What tongues can recite? It breathes in the air, It shines in the light, It streams from the hills, It descends to the plain, And sweetly distills In the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust And feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, Nor find Thee to fail. Thy mercies, how tender, How firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might, Ineffable Love, While angels delight To hymn Thee above, Thy humbler creation, Though feeble their lays, With true adoration Shall sing to Thy praise. Amen. Topics: Adoration Worship and Praise Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: HANOVER
