Alas, My God! My Sins Are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HOoS1926 #411 (1926) Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath pow'r to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot: Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher; Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever.

I hear His warning voice, I feel His loving hand; Temptations and deceits With Him I thus withstand. 4 I know in Whom I trust When peace and joy forsake me, When fain my heart would break, And sorrows overtake me. The suffering of my Lord, His anguish, pain, and woe Remind me of the way We after Him must go. 5 I know in Whom I trust When evening shadows lengthen, When death stands at the door,-- For Christ is there to strengthen. He died upon the cross To conquer death and hell; A Conqueror He rose, And all with us is well. 6 I know in Whom I trust; I praise Him and adore Him; By works I show my faith; My heart I lay before Him; Not only crying, "Lord!" I take Him as my Guide, And thus in life and death In Him alone abide. Amen.

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: HOoS1926 #414 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: AMESBURY Lyrics: 1 I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No off'ring of my own I have, Nor works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2 I dimly guess, from blessings known, Of greater out of sight; And, with the chastened Psalmist, own His judgments too are right. And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruised reed He will not break, But strengthen and sustain. 3 I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. 4 I know not where His islands lift Their fronded palms in air; I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care. And Thou, O Lord, by whom are seen Thy creatures as they be, Forgive me if too close I lean My human heart on Thee. Amen.
