Lord, Who throughout these forty days

Author: C. F. Hernaman Hymnal: CHRC1920 #81 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Lord, Who throughout these forty days, For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with Thee to mourn our sins, And close by Thee to stay. 2 As Thou with Satan didst contend, And didst the victory win, O give us strength in Thee to fight, In Thee to conquer sin. 3 As Thou didst hunger bear and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and chiefly live By Thy most holy Word. 4 And through these days of penitance, And through Thy Passion-tide, Yea evermore, in life and death, Jesus! with us abide. 5 Abide with us, that so this life Of suffering overpast, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last!

Christian, seek not yet repose

Author: C. Elliott Hymnal: CHRC1920 #82 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Christian, seek not yet repose, Hear thy guardian Angel say; Thou art in the midst of foes: Watch and pray! 2 Principalities and powers, Mustering their unseen array, Wait for thy unguarded hours: Watch and pray! 3 Gird Thy heavenly armour on, Wear it ever, night and day; Ambushed lies the evil one: Watch and pray! 4 Hear the victors who o'ercame; Still they mark each warrior's way; All with one sweet voice exclaim: Watch and pray! 5 Hear, above all, hear Thy Lord, Him Thou lovest to obey; Hide within thy heart His word: Watch and pray!

Jesus, these eyes have never seen

Author: R. Palmer Hymnal: CHRC1920 #83 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, these eyes have never seen That radiant form of Thine; The veil of sense hangs dark between Thy blessed face and mine. 2 I see Thee not, I hear Thee not, Yet art Thou oft with me; And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot As where I meet with Thee. 3 Like some bright dream that comes unsought, When slumbers o'er me roll, Thine image ever fills my thought And charms my ravished soul. 4 Yet though I have not seen, and still Must rest in faith alone; I love Thee, dearest Lord, and will, Unseen, but not known. 5 When death these mortal eyes shall seal, And still this throbbing heart, The rending veil shall Thee reveal, All glorious as Thou art.

Christian! dost Thou see them

Author: J. M. Neale; St. Andrew of Crete Hymnal: CHRC1920 #84 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Christian! dost Thou see them On the holy ground, How the powers of darkness Rage thy steps around? Christian, up and smite them, Counting gain but loss; In the strength that cometh By the Holy Cross. 2 Christian! dost thou feel them, How they work within, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian! never tremble; Never be downcast; Gird thee for the battle, Watch and pray and fast. 3 Christian! dost thou hear them, How they speak thee fair? "Always fast and vigil? Always watch and prayer?" Christian! answer boldly: "While I breathe I pray!" Peace shall follow battle, Night shall end in day. 4 "Well, I know thy trouble, O My servant true; Thou art very weary, I was weary too; But that toil shall make thee Some day all Mine own, And the end of sorrow Shall be near My throne."

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: CHRC1920 #85 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heav'n and long to enter in, But there no evil thing may find a home: And yet I hear a Voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are Hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the Voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the Hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 'T was He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 6 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in the Father's courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 7 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord; Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down.

Weary of wand'ring from my God

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CHRC1920 #86 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Weary of wand'ring from my God, And now made willing to return I hear and bow me to the rod, For Thee, not without hope, I mourn; I have an Advocate above A Friend before the throne of love. 2 O Jesus, full of pardoning grace, More full of grace than I of sin; Yet once again I seek Thy face: Open Thine arms and take me in; And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still 3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back, My fallen spirit to restore; O for Thy truth and mercy's sake, Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a heart of prayer.

My dear Redeemer and my Lord

Author: Isaac Watts, 1709 Hymnal: CHRC1920 #87 (1920) Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer and my Lord, I read my duty in Thy word; But in Thy life the law appears Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such deference to Thy Father's will, Such love, and meekness so Divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of Thy prayer; The desert Thy temptations knew, Thy conflict and Thy victory too. 4 Be Thou my Pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here: Then God the Judge shall own my name Amongst the followers of the Lamb.

One there is above all others

Author: J. Newton Hymnal: CHRC1920 #88 (1920) Lyrics: 1 One there is above all others, Well deserves the name of Friend; His is love beyond a brother's, Costly, free, and knows no end: They who once His kindness prove Find it everlasting love. 2 Which of all our friends, to save us, Could or would have shed their blood? But our Jesus died to have us Reconciled in Him to God. This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abased, "Friend of sinners" was His name; Now above all glory raised, He rejoices in the same; Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love; We, alas! forget too often What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought.

When wounded sore the stricken soul

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #89 (1920) Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand, a pierced hand, Can heal the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart, a broken heart, Can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain, Over some foul dark spot, One only stream, a stream of blood, Can wash away the blot. 4 'T is Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief, His heart that's touched with all our joys, And feeleth for our grief. 5 Lift up Thy bleeding hand, O Lord; Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin, But in Thy wounded side.

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Author: C. Elven Hymnal: CHRC1920 #90 (1920) 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.
