When I Can Read My Title Clear
Weary of Earth, and Laden with My Sin
Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 219 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heav'n and long to enter in;
but there no evil thing may find a home;
and yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."
2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
in the pure glory of that holy land?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heav'nly way,
evil is ever with me day by day;
yet on my ears the gracious tidings fall,
"Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear;
his are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
and his the blood that can for all atone
and set me faultless there before the throne.
5 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear
the lowliest garb of penitence and pray'r,
that in the Father's courts my glorious dress
may be the garment of thy righteousness.
6 Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord;
thine all the merits, mine the great reward;
thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown;
mine the life won, and thine the life laid down.

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again,
all his power revealing,
splendor shall announce his reign,
life and joy and healing;
earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated;
this is God's redemption day
longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root,
fresh from his creation;
plants and flowers and sweetest fruit
join the celebration;
rivers spring up from the earth,
barren lands adorning;
valleys, this is your new birth;
mountains greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees,
fainting hearts be cheerful!
God, who comes for such as these,
seeks and saves the fearful;
deaf ears, hear the silent tongues
sing away their weeping;
blind eyes, see the lifeless ones
walking, running, leaping.
4 There God's highway shall be seen
where no roaring lion,
nothing evil or unclean
walks the road to Zion;
ransomed people, homeward bound,
all your praises voicing,
see your Lord with glory crowned;
share in his rejoicing!

We Give You But Your Own
Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 486 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-6 Lyrics: 1 We give you but your own,
in any gifts we bring;
all that we have is yours alone,
a trust from you, our King.
2 May we your bounties thus
as stewards true receive,
and gladly, Lord, as you bless us,
to you our first-fruits give.
3 To comfort and to bless,
to find a balm for woe,
to tend those lost in loneliness
is angels' work below.
4 The captive to release,
the lost to God to bring,
to teach the way of life and peace -
it is a Christ-like thing.
5 And we believe your word,
though dim our faith may be.
Whate'er we do for you, O Lord,
we do it gratefully. Topics: Stewardship and Service; Following Christ; Service music--Offering responses; Stewardship; Stewardship Used With Tune: SCHUMANN

When God revealed his gracious name
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:3 Lyrics: 1 When God revealed his gracious name,
And changed my mournful state,
My raptures seemed a pleasing dream,
The grace appeared so great.
2 The world beheld the glorious change,
And did thy hand confess;
My tongue broke out in unknown strains,
And sung surprising grace.
3 The Lord can clear the darkest skies,
Can give us day for night;
Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
To rivers of delight.
4 Let those who sow in sadness wait
Till the fair harvest come:
They shall confess their sheaves are great,
And shout the blessings home. Topics: The Christian Life Honor and Influence; The Change Effected by Grace

how shall my tongue describe it,
where shall its praise begin?

Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus,
deeper than the mighty rolling sea,
higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,

broader than the scope of my transgressions, sing it!
greater far than all my sin and shame.
O magnify the precious name of Jesus, praise his name!

reaching to all the lost,
by it I have been pardoned,
saved to the uttermost.
Chains have been torn asunder,
giving me liberty,
for the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. [Refrain]

reaching the most reviled,
by its transforming power
making me God’s dear child,

Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Where is the Savior now
Author: Anon. Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-8 Lyrics: 1 Where is the Saviour now,
Whose smiles I once possessed?
Till he return I bow,
By heavy grief oppressed:
My days of happiness are gone,
And I am left to weep alone.
2 Where can the mourner go,
And tell his tale of grief?
Ah, who can soothe his woe.
Ah, who can give relief?
Earth can not heal the wounded breast,
Or give the troubled conscience rest.
3 Jesus, thy smiles impart;
My gracious Lord, return;
Bind up my broken heart,
And bid me cease to mourn!
Then shall this night of sorrow flee,
And peace and heaven be found in thee. Topics: The Christian Life Declension and Renewal; In Time of Declension

We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-2 Lyrics: 1 We bring you, Lord, our prayer and praise
that every child of earth
should live and grow in freedom's ways,
in dignity and worth.
2 We praise for such a task begun
to serve each other's need,
for every cause of justice won,
for every fetter freed.
3 Our prayers are for a world in pain
where force and fear prevail,
the plough becomes the sword again,
and hope and harvests fail.
4 Alike our prayer and praise express
the wants of humankind,
that those in bondage and distress
their larger freedoms find.
5 So may we still maintain the fight
till earth's oppressions cease
before the universal right
to liberty and peace.
6 In Christ we learn to love and care
and spread his truth abroad;
and in his Name we lift our prayer:
'Your kingdom come, O Lord.'
