O thou that Hear'st when Sinners Cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Tho' all my crimes before Thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from Thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within And form my soul averse to sin; Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without Thy light, Cast out and banish from Thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Tho' I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford And let me now come near Thy throne To plead the merits of Thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring. Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Oh, may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Amen. Topics: Confession and Absolution Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

His chariots of wrath The deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path On the wings of the storm. 3 This earth, with its store Of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy pow'r Hath founded of old, Hath stablished it fast By a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, Like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care What tongues can recite? It breathes in the air, It shines in the light, It streams from the hills, It descends to the plain, And sweetly distills In the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust And feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, Nor find Thee to fail. Thy mercies, how tender, How firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might, Ineffable Love, While angels delight To hymn Thee above, Thy humbler creation, Though feeble their lays, With true adoration Shall sing to Thy praise. Amen. Topics: Adoration Worship and Praise Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: HANOVER

O Perfect Life of Love!

Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 86 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O perfect life of love! All, all is finished now, All that He left His throne above To do for us below. 2 No work is left undone Of all the Father willed; His toil, His sorrows, one by one, The Scriptures have fulfilled. 3 No pain that we can share But He has felt its smart; All forms of human grief and care Have pierced that tender heart. 4 And on His thorn-crowned head, And on His sinless soul, Our sins in all their guilt were laid, That He might make us whole. 5 In perfect love He dies; For me He dies, for me; O all-atoning Sacrifice, I cling by faith to Thee. 6 In every time of need, Before the judgment-throne, Thy works, O Lamb of God, I’ll plead, Thy merits, not mine own. 7 Yet work, O Lord, in me As Thou for me hast wrought; And let my love the answer be To grace Thy love has brought.
