Refrain: At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away; it was there by faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day. 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Refrain] 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, and shut its glories in, when Christ, the mighty maker died for human creatures' sin.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: O Lord, my God, mot earnestly Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my God, most earnestly My heart would seek Thy face, Within Thy holy house once more To see Thy glorious grace. Apart from Thee I long and thirst, And nought can satisfy; I wander in a desert land Where all the streams are dry. 2 The lovingkindness of my God Is more than life to me; So I will bless Thee while I live And lift my prayer to Thee. In Thee my soul is satisfied, My darkness turns to light, And joyful meditations fill The watches of the night. 3 My Savior, 'neath Thy sheltering wings My soul delights to dwell; Still closer to Thy side I press, For near Thee all is well. My soul shall conquer every foe, Upholden by Thy hand; Thy people shall rejoice in God, Thy saints in glory stand.

By Babel's streams we sat and wept

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By Babel’s streams we sat and wept, when Zion we thought on. 2 In midst thereof we hung our harps the willow trees upon. 3 For there a song required they, who did us captive bring: our spoilers called for mirth, and said, A song of Zion sing. 4 O how the Lord’s song shall we sing within a foreign land? 5 If thee, Jerusalem, I forget, skill part from my right hand. 6 My tongue to my mouth’s roof let cleave, if I do thee forget, Jerusalem, and thee above my chief joy do not set. 7 Remember Edom’s children, Lord, who in Jerusalem's day, Even unto its foundation, raze, yea, raze it quite, did say. 8 O thou unto destruction doomed, daughter of Babylon, happy the man that doth to thee as thou to us hast done. 9 Yea, happy surely shall he be thy tender little ones Who shall lay hold upon, and them shall dash against the stones.

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 367 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Dear refuge of my weary soul, On thee, when sorrows rise; On thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting Hope relies. 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. 2. But oh! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. Yet gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust, And still my soul would cleave to thee, Tho' prostrate in the dust. 3. 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? No, still the ear of sov'reign grace Attends the mourner's pray'r; Oh, may I ever find access To breathe my sorrows there. 4. Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet. Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet. Topics: Lent Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: DEAR REFUGE
