Shall Our Cheeks Be Dry?

Author: Beddome Appears in 465 hymnals First Line: Did Christ o'er sinners weep? Lyrics: 1 Did Christ o'er sinners weep? And shall our cheeks be dry? Let floods of penitential grief Burst forth from ev'ry eye. 2 The Son of God in tears, The wond'ring angels see! Be thou astonished, O my soul! He shed those tears for thee. 3 He wept; shall we not weep? He died; shall we not die? He rose; shall we not rise from sleep, To reign with him on high? Used With Tune: CONTRITION

Ah! whither should I go

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah! whither should I go, Burdened and sick, and faint! To whom should I my trouble show, And pour out my complaint! 2 My Saviour bids me come; Ah! why do I delay? He calls the weary sinner home, And yet from him I stay. 3 What is it keeps me back, From which I cannot part, Which will not let the Saviour take Possession of my heart? 4 Searcher of hearts, in mine Thy trying power display; Into its darkest corners shine, And take all sin awy.

In mercy, not in wrath

Author: Anon. Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God! Lest, if thy whole displeasure rise, I sink beneath thy rod. 2 Touched by thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds thy Spirit hath unclosed O let that Spirit heal! 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I forever mourn? And wilt thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 O come; ere life expire, Send down thy power to save; For who shall sing thy name in death, Or praise thee in the grave?

I seek the mercy-seat

Author: Anon. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I seek the mercy-seat, Where thou dost answer prayer; There humbly fall before thy feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my plea; With this I venture nigh; Thou callest burdened souls to thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath my sin, By Satan sorely pressed; By wars without and fears within; I come to thee for rest. 4 Be thou my hiding-place; That, sheltered near thy side, I may rejoice in Jesus' grace In Jesus crucified.
