Leaving Her Water Jar Behind
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Leaving her water jar behind,
The woman ran from Jacob's well;
Her daily chores had fled her mind,
For she had wondrous news to tell:
Forsaking what had drawn her first.
She quenched instead a deeper thirst.
2 "Come, see a man who told me all
That I have ever claimed or done!
Such wisdom from his lips did fall!
Could this be God's Anointed One?"
Her neighbors heard, then with her ran
To meet this wise and holy man.
3 When Jesus spoke, his words brought life,
Like water poured on shriveled seed:
His truth as piercing as a knife,
His grace yet greater than their need.
So they prevailed on him to stay
And teach them more another day.
4 By all the wells of our own day,
This Jesus waits to meet us still,
Where our pretenses fall away
When we ask him our lives to fill.
Come with your thirsty heart and mind:
You too may leave your jar behind. Topics: Christian Initiation / Baptism; Lent III A Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

And set our hearts on wisdom's ways;

In pity now Thy servants bless;

And all our day with joy be bright.
3 O send the day of joy and light,
For long has been our sorrow's night;
Afflicted through the weary years,
We wait until Thy help appears;
With us and with our sons abide,
In us let God be glorified.

The beauty of the Lord our God;
The work accomplished by our hand
Establish Thou, and make it stand;
Yea, let our hopeful labor be
Established evermore by Thee.

Whom thickest darkness compassed round,
Find light and life, if Thou appear.

Lowly and gentle may I be;
No charms but these are to Thee dear:
No anger may'st Thou ever find,
No pride, in my unruffled mind,
But faith and heaven-born peace, be there.

That life and all things cast behind,
Springs forth obedient to Thy call,
A heart that no desire can move,
But still to praise, believe, and love,
Give me, my Lord, my Life, my All!

Th'abyss of many a former sin
Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Th' abyss of many a former sin

Like billows my transgressions roll:
Be Thou the Pilot of my soul;
And to salvation’s harbor bring,
Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King!

Wasted by lust, by sin misused;

Of that my portion bright and blessed,
The exile and the alien see,
Who yet would fain return to Thee.
Accept me Lord, I seek Thy grace,
And let me see a Father's face.

Remember for Thy mercy’s sake!
With that poor publican I cry,
Be Merciful, O God most high!
With that lost Prodigal I fain
Back to my home would turn again!
5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care,
And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:—
O Thou, who freely wast made poor,
My sorrows and my sins to cure,
Me, poor of all good works, embrace,
Enriching with Thy boundless grace! Topics: The Catechism Repentance Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

To bring us rebels back to God:
Believe, believe the record true,
Ye all are bought with Jesus' blood;
Pardon for all flows from His side:

And gladly catch the healing stream:

And give up all our hearts to Him:
Of nothing think or speak beside,–

Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics:
Thou hidden love of God, whose height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man knows:
I see from far thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for thy repose:
My heart is pained, nor can it be
At rest, till it find rest in thee.
Is there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with thee my heart to share?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in thee.
O hide this self from me, that I
No more, but Christ in me, may live!
My base affections crucify,
Nor let one favourite sin survive;
In all things nothing may I see,
Nothing desire, or seek, but thee.
Each moment draw from earth away
My heart, that lowly waits thy call!
Speak to my inmost soul, and say
I am thy love, thy God, thy all!
To feel thy power, to hear thy voice,
To taste thy love, be all my choice!
Amen.

Szent házad vár, lásd, eljövünk!
"Orcád keressük" mondja szánk,
De adhatsz-e áldást miránk?
Mert van, ki itt csak térdet hajt,
Míg mást Hozzád a szíve hajt!

Ha megérint, más lesz a szív.
Alvókba égi vágyat ad.
Életre kelt Ő holtakat.
Szólj, hogy szívünk felébredjen,
Jézusban ma újjá legyen!
3 Végre már mind ismernénk fel:
Pusztító súly a bűnteher!
Hangzik ma még az Úr szava,
Fordulj Hozzá, míg tart a ma!
Jézustól kapsz gyógyult szívet,
Így lesz újjá az életed.
4 Megtérő szívnek hitet ad,
Így menti meg a juhokat,

Sírba leszállt, megkeresett.

Declare us reconciled in Thee;
Write kindness on our inward parts,
And chase the murderer from our hearts!
