To thee, O LORD, my Cries ascend

Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O LORD, my Cries ascend; Oh, hasten thou to my Relief, And with accustom'd Pity hear The mournful Accents of my Grief; And when I lift my Voice to thee, Do thou vouchsafe to comfort me. 2 Instead of Off'rings, let my Pray'r To Heav'n, like Morning-Incense rise; And let my lifted Hands supply The Place of Ev'ning Sacrifice. Let Prudence be my constant Guard, My Lips with wary Silence barr'd. 3 From wicked Men's Designs and Deeds, Do thou my Heart and Hands restrain; Nor let me in the Booty share Of their most base unrighteous Gain; Lest I, like them, should go astray, And leave thy pure and perfect Way. 4 Let upright Men reprove my Faults, And I shall still believe them kind; Like Balm that heals a wounded Head, Their Admonitions I shall find; When they're reduc'd to like Distress, My Pray'r for them I will address. 5 When skulking in Engedi's Rock, I to their haughty Chiefs appeal; If one reproachful Word I spoke, Although I had Pow'r to kill; And yet our scatter'd Ruins lie, Like Chips that from the Axes fly. 6 But gracious LORD, to thee I will Direct my supplicating Eyes; O! leave not destitute my Soul, Whose Trust on thee alone relies. Let them in Snares entrapped be, Which their own Hands design'd for me.

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith

Author: J. Heermann Appears in 13 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I would not have the sinner's death. Far rather 'tis My holy will, That in his course he should stand still. Repentant sinners I forgive, Then let them hear, believe, and live. 2 Think of this word, O guilty soul! Despair not: Christ can make thee whole, In Him there's pardon, peace, and grace; A sure and blessed hiding-place. The covenant, confirmed by blood, Doth stand upon the oath of God. 3 O trifle not the time away! Say not, "I'll come another day." Say not, "I'll have my soul's desire, And turn when of the world I tire." Say not, "I'll then converted be, God will be merciful to me." 4 'Tis true that God is rich in grace,-- Beholding His Anointed's face. The blood of Christ atoned for sin, He died eternal life to win; Yet God doth not vouchsafe to say That thou shalt live "another day." 5 O hasten, sinner, to be wise! Nor dare God's message to despise. He who this hour supplies thy breath, The next, may give thee o'er to death. And if thy sins are not forgiven, Thou'lt never, never enter heaven. 6 Then cry: "Lord Jesus, help Thou me, This very day I come to Thee! O give me peace, and from this hour Deliver me from Satan's power; That henceforth and eternally, Thyself my all in all may be!"

Author: D. Coxe Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: Our Father which in heaven art, And mak'st us all one brother hood, To call upon thee with one heart, Our heavenly Father and our god.

A blessed end to us bequeath, Into thy hands our soules recieve For thou, O Lord, are King of kings, And thou hast power over all: Thy glory shineth in all things, In the wide world universall. Amen, let it be done, O Lord, That we have praid with one accord. Used With Tune: [Our Father which in Heaven art]

My Savior! I Behold Thy Life

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. My Savior! I behold Thy life Of not one smile and many tears; I mark the spiritual strife, Thy human woes, Thy human fears, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 2. I watch Thine agonizing hour, I see Thee by Thine own betrayed, Alone in Pilate’s craven power, And scourged and scornfully arrayed, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 3. I see Thee fainting on Thy way, Reviled and mocked of all the throng, I hear the bitter words they say, The abject’s sneer, the drunkard’s song, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 4. That sin in every taunt I hear, And see in every look of scorn; It is the cross which Thou dost bear, The sharpness of Thy crown of thorn: Dear Lord, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 5. My Savior, I behold Thy death, I hear Thy cries, Thy last words seven, I see the scowling gaze beneath, Above, the darkened face of Heaven, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 6. My Savior, I behold Thy grave In that still garden’s awful gloom, I see Thee lying there to save My soul from an eternal tomb, And cry, Was ever grief like Thine, Or debt of sin so vast as mine? 7. And yet with all I hear and see Of Death, or Passion of Thy life, Sweet hopes are ministered to me And voices fall with comfort rife, That say, Because He lived and died, From sin thou canst be purified!

Th' Abyss of Many a Former Sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Th’abyss of many a former sin Encloses me and bars me in; Like billows my transgressions roll: Be Thou the pilot of my soul, And to salvation’s harbor bring Thou Savior and Thou glorious King. 2. My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought, I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3. In hunger now, no more possessed, Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee, And save me, Lord, who seek to raise To Thy dear love the hymn of praise! 4. With that blest thief my prayer I make, 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!
