Author: Lady L. E. G. Whitmore, 1792-1840 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath Thy feet; Again to Thee our contrite voices raise, To sue for mercy, and to sing Thy praise. 2 O we would bless Thee for Thy ceaseless care, And all Thy works from day to day declare: Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not Thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas! unworthy of Thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from Thee we rove; But now, encouraged by Thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in whom all fulness dwells, O by that Love which every love excels, O by that Blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in.

Draw Nigh and Take the Body of the Lord

Author: Anonymous; John M. Neale Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Draw nigh and take the body of the Lord; And drink the holy blood for you outpoured. Saved by that body and that holy blood, With souls refreshed, we render thanks to God. 2. Salvation’s giver, Christ, the only Son, By His dear cross and blood the victory won. Offered was He for greatest and for least, Himself the victim, and Himself the priest. 3. Victims were offered by the law of old, Which in a type this heavenly mystery told. He, ransomer from death, and light from shade, Now gives His holy grace His saints to aid. 4. Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere, And take the safeguard of salvation here. He, that His saints in this world rules and shields, To all believers life eternal yields. 5. With heavenly bread makes them that hunger whole, Gives living waters to the thirsting soul, Alpha and Omega, to whom shall bow All nations at the doom, is with us now.

Lamentation

Author: Mary P. Beegle Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes Lyrics: 1 Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes Were fountains, flowing like the liquid skies; Then would I give the mighty flood release, And weep a deluge for the human race! 2 Oh, that in this dark wilderness of woe, I had some lodging place where I might go And leave my people, who heed not the Word, And will not listen to the gracious Lord. 3 They pass along amid the busy throng, With slander and deceit upon their tongue: With haughty heads despise the blessèd Word, And will not know Me, saith the gracious Lord. 4 How Zion mourns because of the great woe, The Lord shall bring upon my people now: They to the mountains flee, and weep and wail, While fire and desolation fill the vale. 5 And death has entered in their homes, and they Shall see their children die and pass away; Confounded, and in grief they faint and fall, While fed by God with wormwood and with gall. 6 But he that understandeth yet may know That I the Lord will lovingkindness show; If they will come and trust My holy Word, I will forgive them, saith the gracious Lord. 7 Then sinner, come, and seek thy Father’s face, Come and be saved by His redeeming grace; Come to His loving arms, and He will take you in, And save you from the power of guilt and sin.
