Pardoning Grace

Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon 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 [I wait for thy salvation, Lord, With strong desires I wait; My soul, invited by thy word Stands watching at thy gate.] 5 [Just as the guards that keep the night Long for the morning skies, Watch the first beams of breaking light, And meet them with their eyes. 6 So waits my soul to see thy grace And more intent than they, Meets the first openings of thy face, And finds a brighter day.] 7 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. 8 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

Can there be Lyrics: 1. Depth of mercy! Can there be mercy still reserved for me? Can my God his wrath forbear, me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2. I have long withstood his grace, long provoked him to his face, would not hearken to his calls, grieved him by a thousand falls. 3. I my Master have denied, I afresh have crucified, oft profaned his hallowed name, put him to an open shame. 4. There for me the Savior stands, shows his wounds and spreads his hands. God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps and loves me still. 5. Now incline me to repent, let me now my sins lament, now my foul revolt deplore, weep, believe, and sin no more. Used With Tune: CANTERBURY

With tears of anguish, I lament

Author: Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; Confessed Ingratitude Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish, I lament, Here at thy feet, my God, My passion, pride, and discontent, And vile ingratitude. 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base, So false as mine hath been, So faithless to its promises, So prone to every sin! 3 My reason tells me thy commands Are holy, just, and true; Tells me whate'er my God demands Is his most righteous due. 4 Reason I hear, her counsels weigh, And all her words approve; But still I find it hard t' obey, And harder yet to love. 5 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel These strugglings in my breast? When wilt thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? Scripture: Isaiah 24:16

We Have Not Known Thee as We Ought

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Confession and repentance Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought, nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r; the things of earth have filled our thought, and trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light thy truth to see, and make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, nor bowed beneath thine awesome eye, nor guarded deed and word and thought, remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, and grant the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, nor cared that we are loved by thee; thy presence we have coldly sought, and feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart to feel and own the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; alas! the duties left undone, the work with little fervor wrought, the battles lost or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal and give the might, for thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, and fear and love and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare to see thy face and serve thee there. Scripture: Nehemiah 1:7 Used With Tune: ST. CHRYSOSTOM

[Refrain] 3 Now I've giv'n to Jesus ev'rything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing of Calvary. [Refrain] 4 O the love that drew salvation's plan! O the grace that brought it down to man! O the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 23:33 Used With Tune: AT CALVARY
