My Gracious Lord, I Own Thy Right

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 259 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1. My gracious Lord, I own Thy right To every service I can pay, And call it my supreme delight To hear Thy dictates, and obey. 2. What is my being but for Thee, Its sure support, its noblest end? ’Tis my delight Thy face to see, And serve the cause of such a Friend. 3. I would not sigh for worldly joy, Or to increase my worldly good; Nor future days nor powers employ To spread a sounding name abroad. 4. ’Tis to my Savior I would live, To Him who for my ransom died; Nor could all worldly honor give Such bliss as crowns me at His side. 5. His work my hoary age shall bless, When youthful vigor is no more; And my last hour of life confess His dying love, His saving power.

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Author: C. Elven Appears in 217 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry: Thy pardoning grace is rich and free: O God, be merciful to me. 2 I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscious guilt oppressed; Christ and His Cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me. 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But Thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me. 4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee: O God, be merciful to me. 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be, God has been merciful to me.
