Jesus, Saviour, Lord, now to you I fly
O God, our help in ages past
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,236 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 14:9 Lyrics: 1 O 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 defence 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 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Topics: New Year; Remembrance Sunday; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls; National Used With Tune: ST ANNE

Lord, I hear of showers of blessing
O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Author: Mrs. Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 361 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 14:7-8 Lyrics: 1 O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye--
2 See, low before thy throne of grace
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said, Return?
3 And shall my guilty fears prevail
To drive me from thy feet?
Oh, let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat!
4 Absent from thee, my Guide, my Light,
Without one cheering ray,
Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night,
How desolate my way!
5 Oh, shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine!
And let thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; Contrition
O Thou, whose tender mercy hears
How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Author: Mrs. Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 14:7-8 Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Has wandered from the Lord!
How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word!
2 Yet sovereign mercy calls Return;
Dear Lord, and may I come?
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
Oh, take the wanderer home.
3 And canst thou, wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardoned rebel live
To speak thy wondrous love?
4 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet,
Blest Saviour, I adore;
Oh, keep me at thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; Pardoning Love
How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Come, O thou Traveller unknown
Author: Charles Wesley 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 14:9 Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveller unknown,
whom still I hold, but cannot see;
my company before is gone,
and I am left alone with thee;
with thee all night I mean to stay,
and wrestle till the break of day.
2 I need not tell thee who I am,
my misery or sin declare;
thyself hast called me by my name;
look on thy hands, and read it there!
But who, I ask thee, who art thou?
Tell me thy name, and tell me now.
3 In vain thou strugglest to get free;
I never will unloose my hold.
Art thou the man that died for me?
The secret of thy love unfold:
wrestling, I will not let thee go,
till I thy name, thy nature know.
4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
but confident in self-despair;
speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
be conquered by my instant prayer.
Speak, or thou never hence shalt move,
and tell me if thy name is Love!
5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me!
I hear thy whisper in my heart!
The morning breaks, the shadows flee;
pure universal Love thou art:
to me, to all, thy mercies move;
thy nature and thy name is Love. Topics: Lent II Year C; Proper 6 Year C; Proper 13 Year A Used With Tune: DAVID'S HARP

Star of our night, and hope of every nation,
Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication,
Lord God Almighty.
2 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth;
Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth;
Lord, o'er Thy Rock nor death nor hell prevaileth:
Grant us Thy peace, Lord.
3 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging,
Peace in Thy Church, where brothers are engaging,
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging,
Send us, O Savior.
4 Grant us Thy help till foes are backward driven;
Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven;
Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven,
Peace in Thy heaven.
Amen. Used With Tune: FLEMMING
Lord of Our Life
'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee
Author: Henry Montagu Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 14:7-10 Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them, Lord, to thee;
here at thy feet none other may we see:
'lift up your hearts!' E'en so, with one accord,
we lift them up, we lift them to the Lord.
2 Above the level of the former years,
the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears,
the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay,
O Lord of light, lift all our hearts to-day.
3 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame,
the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name,
the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole,
O Lord of truth, lift every Christian soul.
4 Lift every gift that thou thyself hast given:
low lies the best till lifted up to heaven;
low lie the bounding heart, the teeming brain,
till, sent from God, they mount to God again.
5 Then, as the trumpet-call in after years,
'Lift up your hearts!' rings pealing in our ears,
still shall those hearts respond with full accord,
'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!' Topics: Lent; Adoration; Children and All-Age Worship; Doubt; Sin; The Third Sunday of Lent Year C Used With Tune: WOODLANDS
