Alas, my God! My Sins are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius, 1550-1618 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek; I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher, Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt, Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever.

Jesu! where'er Thy people meet

Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 515 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesu! where'er Thy people meet, There they behold Thy mercy-seat; Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, And ev'ry place is hallowed ground. 2 And since within no walls confined, Thou dwellest in the humble mind: Let all within Thy house who come, Departing, take Thee to their home. 3 Yet everywhere Thou guid'st Thine own To raise for Thee an earthly throne; And where Thy Name Thou dost record, There Thou wilt come and bless them, Lord! [4* Behold at Thy commanding word, We stretch the curtain and the cord; Come Thou and fill this wider space, And bless us with a large increase.] 5 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew; And here to wayward hearts proclaim The sweetness of Thy saving Name! 6 Here may we prove the might of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care: To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes! 7 Here to the babe new-born on earth, Grant Thou the newer, better birth; By water and the Holy Ghost Restoring all that Adam lost. 8 Here to the weary, hungry, soul, Give Thou the gift that maketh whole; The bread that is Christ's flesh, for food, The wine that is the Saviour's blood. 9 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; Oh, rend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts Thine own! Amen. * For enlargement of the Church Topics: Consecration of Churches; Corner-stone and Consecration Used With Tune: GÖLDEL

O God, my Lord!

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I. O God, my Lord! How great's my Hoard Of Sin to Condemnation! And where's the Means In these sad Scenes To make Propitiation? II. Shall I, to cleanse Me from my Sins, Traverse all Lands and Oceans? Run to and fro To lose my Woe? Oh! fruitless empty Notions! III. No, I will fly To God, and cry, O, save me from Damnation; For what thy Son Has freely done Is full Propitiation. IV. But if thou wilt Chastise my Guilt, And make me feel thine Arrows; Chastise me here; But keep me clear Of everlasting Sorrows. V. And while, Most High, Thy Arrows flie, O, grant me Resignation To thy blest Will, That ne'er did ill, And bring me to Salvation. VI. And deal with me As seems to Thee Most good, O, Thou Most Holy! Do but avert Th'eternal Smart That's due unto my Folly. VII. As a poor Worm Before a Storm (Clouds gath'ring, Thunder growling) In the Earth hides; And there abides, While smoaking Show'rs are falling; VII. So I, when Sin And Hell begin To threaten my Undoing, Run to the side Of CHRIST, and hide Me from the threaten'd Ruin. IX. His wounded Side My Soul shall hide, When Death shall draw his Arrow. In CHRIST true Faith Redeems from Death And Hell and Sin and Sorrow. X. O! Blessed be Th'Eternal Three The Father, Son, and Spirit; Blest Three in One, To whom the Son Restores us by his Merit.

I am not skilled to understand

Author: Dora Greenwell (1821-1882) Meter: 8.8.8.7 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I am not skilled to understand What God hath willed, what God hath planned; I only know that at His right hand Stands One who is my Saviour! 2 I take God at His word and deed: “Christ died to save me”— this I read; And in my heart I find a need Of Him to be my Saviour! 3 And was there then no other way For God to take?— I cannot say; I only bless Him, day by day, Who saved me through my Saviour. 4 That He should leave His place on high And come for sinful man to die, You count it strange?— so do not I, Since I have known my Saviour! 4 And O that He fulfilled may see The travail of His soul in me, And with His work contented be, As I with my dear Saviour! 5 Yea, living, dying, let me bring My strength, my solace from this spring, That He who lives to be my King Once died to be my Saviour. Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life; Christ Call, Answering Christ's; Christ Passion, His; Inner Life, The Used With Tune: ACH GOTT UND HERR
