With Broken Heart and Contrite Sigh

Author: Rev. Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1. With broken heart and contrite sigh, A tembling sinner, Lord, I cry; Thy pard'ning 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! Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: ZEPHYR

O Lord, Who Art with Two or Three

Author: Rev. H. L. Hastings Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, who art with two or three, Met in Thy name to worship Thee; Grant Thou that we may know Thee near, And Thy sweet Spirit’s whisper hear. 2 Touch’d with the feeling of our woe, Thou dost our need and nature know; Oh, may we now, to seek Thy face, Come boldly to a throne of grace. 3 Thou art our helper, ever near, Thou knowest all we feel or fear; Bless us in whom Thy grace hath wrought, Above our pray’r, above our thought. 4 We know not how to ask aright, Unless Thy Spirit gives us light, Oh, in the deep, unspoken cries, Make all our wants and needs to rise.

So Fades The Lovely, Blooming Flower

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 137 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flower, Frail, smiling solace of an hour! So soon our transient comforts fly, And pleasure only blooms to die! 2 To certain trouble we are born, Hope to rejoice, but sure to mourn. Ah, wretched effort! sad relief, To plead necessity of grief! 3 Is there no kind, no lenient art, To heal the anguish of the heart? To ease the heavy load of care, Which nature must, but cannot bear? 4 Can reason’s dictates be obeyed? To weak, alas, her strongest aid! O let religion then be nigh, Her comforts were not made to die. 5 Her powerful aid supports the soul, And nature owns her kind control; While she unfolds the sacred page, Our fiercest griefs resign their rage. 6 Then gentle patience smiles on pain, And dying hope revives again; Hope wipes the tear from sorrow’s eye, And faith points upward to the sky. 7 The promise guides her ardent flight, And joys unknown to sense invite, Those blissful regions to explore, Where pleasure blooms, to fade no more.
