God, be merciful to me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me, On thy grace I rest my plea; Plenteous in compassion thou, Blot out my transgressions now; Wash me, make me pure within, Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, Grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against thy grace And provoked thee to thy face; I confess thy judgment just, Speechless, I thy mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; Thou desirest truth within. Thou alone my Saviour art, Teach thy wisdom to my heart; Make me pure, thy grace bestow, Wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust By thy wrath and judgment just, Let my contrite heart rejoice And in gladness hear thy voice; From my sins O hide thy face, Blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, Make my spirit right and true; Cast me not away from thee, Let thy Spirit dwell in me; Thy salvation's joy impart, Stedfast make my willing heart. 6 Sinners then shall learn from me And return, O God, to thee; Saviour, all my guilt remove, And my tongue shall sing thy love; Touch my silent lips, O Lord, And my mouth shall praise accord. Amen.

While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne, Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. Amen.

O let the words linger on the trembling chords; let the little while between in their golden light be seen; let us think how heav'n and home lie beyond that "Till he come." 2 When the weary ones we love enter on their rest above, seems the earth so poor and vast, all our life-joy overcast? Hush, be ev'ry murmur dumb: it is only till he come. 3 Clouds and conflicts round us press: would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, all that tells the world is loss, death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper "Till he come." 4 See, the feast of love is spread, drink the wine, and break the bread: sweet memorials, till the Lord call us round his heav'nly board; some from earth, from glory some, severed only till he come.

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 503 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power; Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment-hall; View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete: "It is finished," hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n!--He meets our eyes: Saviour, teach us so to rise. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: REDHEAD No. 76

Died that I might live on high, Lived that I might never die. As the branch is to the vine, I am His and He is mine. 2 Oh, the height of Jesus' love, Higher than the heav'ns above, Deeper than the depths of sea, Lasting as eternity! Love that found me--wondrous thought! Found me when I sought Him not. 3 Only Jesus can impart Balm to heal the wounded heart, Peace that flows from sin forgiv'n, Joy that lifts the soul to heav'n. Faith and hope to walk with God In the way that Enoch trod. 4 Chief of sinners though I be, Christ is all in all to me. All my wants to Him are known, All my sorrows are His own. He sustains the hidden life Safe with Him from earthly strife. 5 O my Savior, help afford By Your Spirit and Your Word! When my wayward heart would stray, Keep me in the narrow way; Grace in time of need supply While I live and when I die.
