Pardoning Love
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 3:22 First Line: How oft, alas, this wretched heart Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas, this wretched heart
Has wander'd from the Lord!
How oft my roving thoughts depart
Forgetful of his word!
2 Yet sovereign mercy calls, "return:"
Dear Lord, and may I come!
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
O take the wanderer home.
3 And canst thou, wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardon'd rebel live
To speak thy wondrous love!
4 Almighty grace, thy healing power
How glorious, how divine!
That can to life and bliss restore
So vile a heart as mine.
5 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet,
Dear Savior, I adore;
Oh, keep me at thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more. Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon; Pardoning Love

The Lord Jehovah reigns
Author: Watts Appears in 267 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 3:4 Lyrics: 1 The Lord Jehovah reigns,
His throne is build on high;
The garments he assumes
Are light and majesty;
His glories shine with beams so bright,
Nor mortal eye can bear the sight.
2 The thunders of his hand
Keep the wide world in awe;
His wrath and justice stand,
To guard his holy law;
And where his love resolves to bless,
His truth confirms and seals the grace.
3 Through all his perfect work,
Surprising wisdom shines;
Confounds the powers of hell,
And breaks their cursed designs:
Strong is his arm--and shall fulfill
His great decrees, his sovereign will.
4 And can this mighty King
Of glory condescend--
And will he write his name,
My Father and my Friend?
I love his name, I love his word;
Join, all my powers, and praise the Lord. Topics: Attributes of God Justice; God Reigns
The Lord Jehovah reigns
The goodness of God acknowledged in giving Pastors after his own heart
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 3:15 First Line: Shepherd of Israel, thou dost keep Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, thou dost keep
With constant care thy humble sheep;
By the inferior pastors rise
To feed our souls, and bless our eyes.
2 To all thy churches such impart,
Modell'd by thy own gracious heart;
Whose courage, watchfulness and love,
Men may attest, and God approve.
3 Fed by their active tender care,
Healthful may all thy sheep appear;
And, by their fair example led,
The way to Zion's pastures tread!
4 Here hast thou listen'd to our vows,
And scatter'd blessings on thy house;
Thy saints are succour'd and no more
As sheep without a guide deplore.
5 Completely heal each former stroke
And bless the shepherd and the flock;
Confirm the hopes thy mercies raise,
And own this tribute of our praise. Topics: The Church Ordination; Ordination hymns

Lord, I approach the mercy-seat
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 3:22 Lyrics: 1 Lord, I approach the mercy-seat,
Where thou dost answer prayer;
There humbly fall before thy feet--
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea;
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely pressed;
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to thee for rest.
4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place;
That, sheltered near thy side,
I may rejoice in Jesus' grace--
In Jesus crucified.
5 Oh, wondrous love!--to bleed and die,
To bear the cross and shame,
That guilty sinners, such as I,
Might plead thy gracious name.

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 319 hymnals Scripture: Jeremiah 3:12 Lyrics: 1 Give to our God immortal praise;
mercy and truth are all his ways:
wonders of grace to God belong;
repeat his mercies in your song.
2 He built the earth, he spread the sky,
and fixed the starry lights on high:
wonders of grace to God belong;
repeat his mercies in your song.
3 He fills the sun with morning light;
he bids the moon direct the night:
his mercies ever shall endure,
when suns and moons shall shine no more.
4 He sent His Son with power to save
from guilt and darkness and the grave:
wonders of grace to God belong;
repeat his mercies in your song.
5 Through this vast world he guides our feet,
and leads us to his heavenly seat:
his mercies ever shall endure,
when this our world shall be no more. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
