O thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banished from thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

I need the love of Jesus to cheer me on my way, to guide my doubting footsteps, to be my strength and stay. 3 I need thee, precious Jesus, and hope to see thee soon, encircled with the rainbow and seated on thy throne.

Thou dost reign on high

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 Thou didst reign on high With a kingly crown, Yet thou camest to earth for me, And in Bethlehem's home Was there found no room For thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang When the angels sang, Proclaiming thy royal degree; But of lowly birth Didst thou come to earth, And in great humility: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest, And the birds their nest, In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, With the living word That should set thy people free; But with mocking scorn, And with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 5 When heav'n's arches shall ring, And her choirs shall sing, At thy coming to victory, Let thy voice call me home, Saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Used With Tune: MARGARET
