Depth of mercy! can there be

Meter: Irregular Appears in 811 hymnals Matching Instances: 689 Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! can there be Mercy still reserv'd for me? Can my God his wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? 2 I have long withstood his grace: Long provok'd him to his face; Would not hearken to his calls; Griev'd him by a thousand falls. 3 Kindled His relentings are, Me he now delights to spare, Cries, "How shall I give thee up?" Lets the lifted thunder drop. 4 There for me the Saviour stands, Shows his wounds and spreads his hands: God is love! I know, I feel! Jesus weeps, but loves me still! 5 Jesus answer from above: Is not all thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget? Suffer me to kiss thy feet? 6 Now incline me to repent! Let me now my fall lament! Now my foul revolt deplore! Weep, believe, and sin no more. Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning; Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore? Scripture: Psalm 77:8

[Chorus] 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long griev’d and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near]

Day of judgment,—day of wonders

Meter: Irregular Appears in 341 hymnals Matching Instances: 331 Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment,--day of wonders. Hark the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Cloth'd in majesty divine! You who long for his appearing Then shall say, 'This God is mine!' Gracious Saviour! Own me in that day for thine! 3 At his call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea: All the pow'rs of nature shaken By his looks prepare to flee: Careless sinner! What will then become of thee? 4 Horrors, past imagination, Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, 'Hence, accursed wretch depart! Thou with Satan And his angels hastthy part!' 5 But to those who have confessed, Lov'd and serv'd the Lord below, He will say, 'Come near ye blessed, See the kingdom I bestow: You for ever Shall my love and glory know.' 6 Under sorrows and reproaches, May this thought your courage raise! Swiftly God's great day approaches, Sighs shall then be chang'd to praise! May we triumph, When the world is in a blaze! Topics: Judgment; The Day of Judgment

Dear Refuge of my weary Soul

Appears in 362 hymnals Matching Instances: 304 Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On thee when Sorrows rise; On thee, when Waves of Trouble roll, My fainting Hope relies. 2 While Hope revives, tho' press'd with Fears, And I can say, "My God," Beneath thy Feet I spread my Cares, And pour my Woes abroad. 3 To thee I tell each rising Grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy Word can bring a sweet Relief, For ev'ry Pain I feel. 4 But oh! when gloomy Doubts prevail I fear to call thee mine; The Springs of comfort seem to fail And all my Hopes decline. 5 Yet gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only Trust; And still my Soul wou'd cleave to thee, Tho' prostrate in the Dust. 6 Hast thou not bid me seek thy Face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the Ear of Sov'reign Grace Be deaf when I complain? 7 No, still the Ear of Sov'reign Grace Attends the mourner's Prayer; O may I ever find Access, To Breathe my Sorrows there. 8 Thy Mercy-Seat is open still; Here let my Soul retreat, With humble Hope attend thy Will, And wait beneath thy Feet. Topics: Resignation to Providence
