Return, O Wanderer

Appears in 536 hymnals First Line: Return, O wanderer, return Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek an injured Father's face; Those warm desires that in thee burn Were kindled by reclaiming grace. 2 Return, O wanderer, return, And seek a Father's melting heart; His pitying eyes thy grief discern, His hand shall heal thine inward smart. 3 Return, O, wanderer, return; Thy Savior bids thy spirit live; Go to His bleeding feet, and learn How freely Jesus can forgive. 4 Return, O wanderer, return, And wipe away the falling tear; 'Tis God who says, "No longer mourn;" 'Tis mercy's voice invites thee near. Used With Tune: [Return, O wanderer, return]

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Appears in 218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry; Thy pardoning grace is rich and free: O God, be merciful to me! 2 I smite upon my troubled breast With deep and conscious guilt oppressed; Christ and his cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me! 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me! 4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee: O God, be merciful to me! 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be, "God has been merciful to me!"

Trust not the world; it gives no rest; I bring relief to hearts oppressed: O weary winner! come, oh, come! 4 Come, leave thy burden at the cross, Count all thy gains but empty dross: My grace repays all earthly loss; O needy sinner! come, oh, come! 5 Come, hither bring thy boding fears, Thy aching heart, thy bursting tears; ’Tis mercy’s voice salutes thine ears; O trembling sinner! come, oh, come! 6 "The Spirit and the bride say, come!"

My Bird

Author: Emily C. Judson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Ere last year’s moon had left the sky Lyrics: 1 Ere last year’s moon had left the sky, A birdling sought my Indian nest, And folded, O, so lovingly! Her tiny wings upon my breast. 2 From morn till evening’s purple tinge, In winsome helplessness she lies, Two rose-leaves, with a silken fringe, Shut softly on her starry eyes. 3 There’s not in Ind a lovelier bird— Broad earth owns not a happier nest— O God! Thou hast a fountain stirred, Whose waters nevermore shall rest! 4 This beautiful, mysterious thing, This seeming visitant from Heaven This bird, with the immortal wing, To me—to me, Thy hand has given. 5 The pulse first caught its tiny stroke, The blood, its crimson hue from mine— This life, which I have dared invoke, Henceforth is parallel with Thine. 6 A silent awe is in my room, I tremble with delicious fear; The future, with its light and gloom, Time and eternity, is here. 7 Doubts—hopes, in eager tumult, rise— Hear, O my God! one earnest prayer! Room for my bird in paradise, And give her angel plumage there. Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Olio of Domestic Verses, 1852

And shall the eyes of sinners see What Thou hast done for worthless me? 3 Wilt Thou no longer me excuse, And wilt Thou frown if I refuse? O let me have Thy presence still, And I’ll submit to all Thy will! 4 Make Thou my path of duty plain, And let Thine arm my soul sustain; Give me new strength, new courage here, And fill my soul with holy fear. 5 To Thee I dedicate the whole, Thine is my heart, and Thine my soul; Bless what my feeble hand hath wrought, And take the praise of every thought. 6 Wilt Thou, dear Lord, Thine handmaid own? Her offering with acceptance crown? Thy glory is her humble aim: Eternal glory to Thy name! Alternate last stanza: Wilt Thou, dear Lord, Thine servant own? My offering with acceptance crown? Thy glory is my humble aim: Eternal glory to Thy name! Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Songs in the Night (Ipswich, England: Punchard & Jermyn, 1780)

Away, My Doubts, Be Gone, My Fear

Author: Susannah Harrison Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away, my doubts, be gone, my fear, The wonders of the Lord appear, The wonders that my Savior wrought; O how delightful is the thought! 2 The wonders of redeeming love, When first my heart was drawn above; When first I saw my Savior’s face, And triumphed in His pardoning grace. 3 Pursue, my thoughts, this pleasing theme, ’Twas not a fancy nor a dream; ’Twas grace descending from the skies, And shall be marvelous in my eyes. 4 Long had I mourned, like one forgot, Long had my soul for comfort fought, Jesus was witness to my tears, And Jesus sweetly calmed my fears. 5 He cleansed my soul, He changed my dress, And clothed me with His righteousness: He spoke at once my sins forgiv’n, And I rejoiced as if in Heav’n. 6 How was I struck with sweet surprise, While glory shone before my eyes! How did I sing from day to day, And wished to sing my soul away! 7 The world with all its pomp withdrew, ’Twas less than nothing in my view; Redeeming love was all my theme, And life appeared an idle dream. 8 I gloried in my Savior’s grace; I sang my great Redeemer’s praise; My soul now longed to soar away, And leave her tenement of clay. 9 The powers of hell in vain combined To tempt or interrupt my mind; I saw, and sang in joyful strains, The monster Satan held in chains. 10 These are the wonders I record, The marvelous goodness of the Lord; O for a tongue to speak His praise, To tell the triumphs of His grace!

Rapid My Days And Months Run On

Author: Susanna Harrison Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rapid my days and months run on, How soon another year is gone! How swift my golden moments roll, How much neglected by my soul! 2 Let me begin with holy fear This new, this fleeting, flying year; Too many unimproved have passed, This year, perhaps, may be my last. 3 Give me, great God, a heart to pray; Let all old things be done away; Give me new strength to conquer sin, And plant new holiness within. 4 I ask new wisdom for this year, New fitness for my trials here; Of every grace a richer store, My God to love and honor more. 5 This year, O sheath war’s direful sword! Let every nation serve the Lord: Visit Thy Church, and may she bear Much glorious fruit this blessèd year.
