Pardoning Grace

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Out of the deeps of long distress Lyrics: 1 Out of the deeps of long distress, The borders of despair, I sent my cries to seek thy grace, My groans to move thine ear. 2 Great God, should thy severer eye, And thine impartial hand, Mark and revenge iniquity, No mortal flesh could stand. 3 But there are pardons with my God, For crimes of high degree; Thy Son has bought them with his blood To draw us near to thee. 4 Then in the Lord let Israel trust; Let Israel seek his face; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace. 5 There’s full redemption at his throne For sinners long enslav'd; The great Redeemer is his Son, And Israel shall be sav'd. Scripture: Psalm 130

How sad our state by nature is

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 291 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 How sad our state by nature is! Our sin, how deep it stains! And satan binds our captive souls Fast in his slavish chains. 2 But there's a voice of sov'reign grace Sounds from GOD's sacred word; "Ho! ye despairing sinners, come "And trust upon the LORD." 3 O may we hear th' Almighty call, And run to this relief; We would believe thy promise, LORD, O! help our unbelief. 4 To the blest fountain of thy blood, Teach us, O LORD! to fly: There may me wash my spotted souls From crimes of deepest dye! 5 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King, Our reigning sins subdue, Drive the old dragon from his seat, And form our souls anew. 6 Poor, guilty, weak and helpless worms, On thy kind arm we fall; Be thou our strength and righteousness, Our JESUS and our All. Scripture: Zechariah 13:1

O Jesu, Jesu, dearest Lord

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: After Sermon Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, Jesu, dearest LORD, How wond'rous is thy love! Thy patience, pity, tenderness, Which I each moment prove! 2 O LORD, how faithless is my heart, How apt to turn aside; And wander in its own deceits, Of reasoning and pride! 3 Yet, dearest Saviour, love me still, The poorest, and the worst; For well I know where sin abounds, Thy grace abounds the most. 4 Yet let me not thy grace abuse, And sin because thou'rt good; But let thy love fill me with shame, That I thy love withstood. 5 On me, my King, exert thy pow'r, Make old things pass away, Create all new, and draw me still, Still nearer ev'ry day. 6 I thank and praise thee, dearest LORD, For all that thou hast done: O take me to thee as I am, For thy redeemed one.

Weary, O LORD, thou know's t I am; Yet still I cannot come to thee. 3 Rest for my soul I long to find; Saviour, if mine indeed thou art, Give me thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp thine image on my heart. 4 I would, but thou must give the pow'r, My heart from ev'ry sin release; Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with thy heav'nly peace. 5 Come, LORD, the drooping sinner chear, Let not my JESUS long delay; Appear, in my hard heart appear, My GOD< my Saviour, come away.

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 101 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: Why is my heart so far from thee Lyrics: 1 Why is my heart so far from thee, My GOD, my chief delight? Why are my thoughts no more by day With thee, no more by night? 2 Why should my foolish passions rove? Where can such sweetness be, As I have tasted in thy love, As I have found in thee? 3 When my forgetful soul renews The savour of thy grace, My heart presumes I cannot lose The relish all my days. 4 But e'er one fleeting hour is past, The flatt'ring world employs Some sensual bait to seize my taste, And to pollute my joys. 5 Then I repent, and vex my soul, That I shou'd leave thee so: Where will those wild affections roll, That let a Saviour go?

The precious grain can ne'er be lost, For grace insures the crop. Scripture: Psalm 126

God our only happiness

Author: Dr. Watts Appears in 253 hymnals Topics: After Sermon First Line: My God, my portion, and my love Lyrics: 1 My God, my portion, and my love My everlasting All! I've none but thee in Heav'n above, Or on this earthly ball. 2 What empty things are all the skies, And this inferior clod! There's nothing here deserves my joys, There's nothing like my God. 3 In vain the bright, the burning sun, Scatters his feeble light: 'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon; If thou withdraw, 'tis night. 4 And whilst upon my restless bed, Amidst the shades I roll, If my Redeemer raise my head, 'Tis morning with my soul. 5 To thee we owe my wealth and friends, And health, and safe abode: We praise thy name for all these things; But they are not our God. 6 Were I possessor of the earth, And call'd the stars my own; Without thy graces and thyself, I were a wretch undone.
