Far let me flee from worldly sin

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #51 (1911) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: I Far let me flee from worldly sin, Nor look behind, but onward press; Lest the deceit that lurks within, Should link the soul to worldliness. II Ah! whither shall I flee, my God? There is no refuge but in Thee, And Thy command exceeding broad, Condemns my soul’s perversity. III But in Thy grace my troubled soul Would find forgiveness freely given; And in Thy Spirit’s firm control, A power to lift me nearer heaven. IV Thus shall I flee from worldly sin, Nor look behind, but onward press, And daily fight, and daily win The rich reward of righteousness. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

Lord of mercy, at Thy gate

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #52 (1911) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: I Lord of mercy, at Thy gate, Needy souls imploring pray; Have we come, Good Lord, too late? Must we turn in grief away? II Young and old Thy mercy claim,— Some are early at the gate, Some are late to own Thy name, Surely none, though late, too late! III Blessed, who with morning sun, Hopeful at Thy portals wait; Yea, and when the day is done, Blessed they who find the gate. IV Ah, Good Lord, when Thou wert here, Homeless, in our world of sin, Few, to give Thee warmth and cheer, Called their weary Lord within. V Sad, repenting, full of fear, Hoping, doubting, still we wait; As we call, in mercy hear;— Open, Lord, to us the gate. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

Burdened with a heavy load

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #53 (1911) Meter: 7.8.7.8 Lyrics: I Burdened with a heavy load, Lord, we come, for Thou art calling; Rough and toilsome is the road, And the night around is falling. II Sin, the burden that we bear, Fills us with a dread to meet Thee; Yet, we yield not to despair, But for mercy would entreat Thee. III From the cross a glorious light Falls upon our path to cheer us; And a hope on pinions bright Hovers, in the darkness, near us. IV For the sake of Him Who bore All the sin, we come lamenting, Let Thy pardon now restore Sinners, at Thy feet, repenting. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

Lord of a countless throng

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #54 (1911) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Lyrics: I Lord of a countless throng, Fair as the stars of night, Won from the thrall of cruel wrong Back to the good and right; Thine is the praise they sing, Lord of their souls, and King. II Thine was the love that sought Far as their wanderings led; Thine was the wondrous grace that brought Life to the faint and dead; Pardon for all the past, Peace that shall endless last. III Lord of a countless throng Sworn to be faithful aye, When, in the power that makes them strong, They stand in evil day; Make us by grace, we pray, Loyal and brave as they.

Let all the world abroad

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #55 (1911) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Lyrics: I Let all the world abroad In cheerful praise unite To bless the name of God, Creator, Lord of might.

V Let man, creation’s lord, His rightful homage give To Him Whose mighty word First called his soul to live. VI And with the heavenly host, Our Sovereign Lord adore, And Son, and Holy Ghost, Both now, and evermore. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

III O, when the world, in awful fear, Beholds the Judge of all appear, Be this our joy on that dread day, That Christ hath borne our sins away. IV When in the land of bliss divine, Our souls in robes of beauty shine, This be our song before the throne, Not ours the beauty, Thine alone. V To Thee, O God, be glory given, And to the Christ, the King of heaven; And to the Holy Spirit, blest, Be praise for evermore exprest. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

Where the Lord reveals His presence

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #57 (1911) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: I Where the Lord reveals His presence, Glory lights the sacred place, And the soul in adoration Falls before the throne of grace. II Seraphim, and saints in wonder, Lift their songs where Christ is set, And employ, in sacred homage, Harp, and palm, and coronet. III Light of lights, no light approacheth,— Sun, nor moon, nor stars of night, Flood the noon-tide and the darkness With such radiance of delight. IV Beauty of the King Immortal! Ere we rise to where Thou art, Let the glory of Thy presence Chase the darkness from our heart. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

O Love of God, surpassing far

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #58 (1911) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: I O Love of God, surpassing far The loves that human hearts unite, Far from our ken as yonder star That sheds its radiance on the night; II High as the heavens, and deep as hell, Broad as the world’s infinite need,— None but the Christ that love can tell, And none its winning power impede. III Glory to God! that love exprest Came in the gift our need required, And in the Christ our lives are blest, And by His love are souls inspired. IV And from the manger to the cross, And at the noon-day and the night, He bore the burden of our loss, Nor shunned the anguish and despite. V And ’twas the love of God He showed, When, crowned with shame, He meekly died;— No gifts by bleeding love bestowed, So great as Jesus crucified. Topics: Penitence and Love Languages: English

II O God of our salvation, Thy word hath still its power, And souls in desolation Are lying at this hour; Speak as of old, and banish The chaos and the night, And bid their sorrows vanish Before Thy glorious light. III O God of our salvation, Thy Word our Flesh became; To free from condemnation He bore our human name, And spoke to us confiding Of all the Father willed; And we, with Him abiding, Are with His fulness filled. IV O God of our salvation, Thou, Christ, in mercy come, And make Thy new creation Thine everlasting home; And in our hearts abiding, And in Thy Church adored, Still speak the word confiding, O Jesus Christ, our Lord.

O Jesus, when my guilty fears

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHM1911 #60 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: I O Jesus, when my guilty fears My wakened soul distress, And Judgment for the past appears In all its awfulness,— Bid gathering clouds asunder roll, And shed Thy sunshine in my soul. II When from their long-forgotten grave My guilty deeds arise, And terror proves me yet the slave My soul would fain despise,— From stings of memory heal my soul, And free me from sin’s dire control. III O Lord, in Whom my hope is set, I look in faith to Thee; From sin, and guilt, and sad regret, My soul in mercy free;— For, in that mercy, Lord, I trust, And lie, repenting, in the dust.
