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

Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 4 Marching with Thy Cross, their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Savior and their King. Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered, Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died, And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 5 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite. Love and peace they taste forever And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity. 6 God of God, the One-begotten Light of Light, Emmanuel, In whose body, joined together, All the saints forever dwell.

O Spirit of the Living God

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 373 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Spirit of the living God, In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where’er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race. 2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love To preach the reconciling Word, Give pow'r and unction from above Where’er the joyful sound is heard. 3 Be darkness, at Thy coming, light; Confusion, order, in Thy path; Souls without strength inspire with might; Bid mercy triumph over wrath. 4 O Spirit of the Lord, prepare A sinful world their God to meet; Breathe Thou abroad like morning air Till hearts of stone begin to beat. 5 Baptize the nations; far and nigh The triumphs of the Cross record; The name of Jesus glorify, Till every kindred call Him Lord. 6 God from eternity hath willed All flesh shall His salvation see: So be the Father’s love fulfilled, The Savior’s sufferings crowned through Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Missions Scripture: Acts 2:3 Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.3.4.8.6 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless Treasure, Fount of purest pleasure, Truest Friend to me. Ah, how long in anguish Shall my spirit languish, Yearning, Lord, for Thee? Thou art mine, O Lamb divine! I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Naught I ask beside Thee. 2 In Thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Tho' the earth be shaking, Ev'ry heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightnings flash And thunders crash; Yet, tho' sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Satan, I defy thee; Death, I now decry thee; Fear, I bid thee cease. World, thou shalt not harm me Nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God's great pow'r Guards ev'ry hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. 4 Hence, all earthly treasure! Jesus is my Pleasure, Jesus is my Choice. Hence, all empty glory! Naught to me thy story Told with tempting voice. Pain or loss, Or shame or cross, Shall not from my Savior move me Since He deigns to love me. 5 Evil world, I leave thee; Thou canst not deceive me, Thine appeal is vain. Sin that once did blind me, Get thee far behind me, Come not forth again. Past thy hour, O pride and power; Sinful life, thy bonds I sever, Leave thee now forever. 6 Hence, all fear and sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within. Yea, whate'er I here must bear, Thou art still my purest Pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure! Amen.

Let Thoughtless Thousands Choose the Road

Author: Joseph Hoskins Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 56 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely Thine. 2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live, From Him my life, my all, receive, To Him devote my fleeting hours, Serve Him alone with all my pow'rs. 3 Christ is my everlasting All; To Him I look, on Him I call; He will my ev'ry want supply In time and thro' eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here, Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain. To live is Christ, to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet, Soon walk through every golden street, And sing on every blissful plain: To live is Christ, to die is gain. Amen.

In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak Till faith shall dawn and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

Lord, It Belongs Not to My Care

It always is his aim and pride Thy Christian people to divide. 5 As he of old deceived the world And into sin and death was hurled, So now he subtly lies in wait To ruin school and Church and State. 6 A roaring lion, round he goes, No halt nor rest he ever knows; He seeks the Christians to devour And slay them by his dreadful power. 7 But watchful is the angel band That follows Christ on every hand To guard His people where they go And break the counsel of the Foe. 8 For this, now and in days to be, Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee, Whom all the angel hosts adore With grateful songs forevermore.
