Complaint of heavy Afflictions in Mind and Body

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #269 (1786) Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: My righteous Judge, my gracious God Lyrics: 1 My righteous Judge, my gracious God, Hear when I spread my hands abroad, And cry for succour from thy throne, O make thy truth and mercy known. 2 Let judgment not against me pass: Behold thy servant pleads thy grace; Should justice call us to thy bar, No man alive is guiltless there. 3 Look down in pity, Lord, and see The mighty woes that burthen me; Down to the dust my life is brought, Like one long bury'd and forgot. 4 I dwell in darkness and unseen, My heart is desolate within: My thoughts in musing silence trace The antient wonders of thy grace. 5 Thence I derive a glimpse of hope To bear my sinking spirits up; I stretch my hands to God again, And thirst like parched lands for rain. 6 For thee I thirst, I pray, I mourn; When will thy smiling face return? Shall all my joys on earth remove, And God forever hide his love? 7 My God, thy long delay to save, Will sink thy prisoner to the grave; My heart grows faint, and dim mine eye; Make haste to help before I die. 8 The night is witness to my tears, Distressing pains, distressing fears; Oh might I hear thy morning voice, How would my weary powers rejoice! 9 In thee I trust, to thee I sigh, And lift my weary soul on high; For thee sit waiting all the day, And wear the tiresome hours away. 10 Break off my fetters, Lord, and show The paths in which my feet should go: If snares and foes beset the road, I'll flee to hide me near my God. 11 Teach me to do thy holy will, And lead me to thy heavenly hill: Let the good spirit of thy love Conduct me to thy courts above. 12 Then shall my soul no more complain, The tempter then shall rage in vain; And flesh that was my foe before, Shall never vex my spirit more.

God! When Human Bonds Are Broken

The abyss of many a former sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #400 (1913) Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 The abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in: Like billows my transgressions roll-- Be Thou the pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought:-- I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possessed Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God most high! With that lost prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:— O Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

Alas, my God! my sins are great

Author: J. Gross Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #523 (1913) Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at 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, Thy hand still hold and guide me. 3 Nay, 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 teachings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as seems Thee best, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Savior share it. Tune Title: [Alas, my God! my sins are great]

Great King of nations, hear our prayer

Author: John H. Gurney Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #621 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Great King of nations, hear our prayer, While at thy feet we fall, And humbly, with united cry, To thee for mercy call. 2 The guilt is ours, but grace is thine, O turn us not away; But hear us from thy lofty throne, And help us when we pray. 3 Our fathers' sins were manifold, And ours no less we own, Yet wondrously from age to age Thy goodness hath been shown. 4 When dangers, like a stormy sea, Beset our country round, To thee we looked, to thee we cried, And help in thee was found. 5 With one consent we meekly bow Beneath thy chast'ning hand, And, pouring forth confession meet, Mourn with our mourning land. 6 With pitying eye behold our need, As thus we lift our prayer; Correct us with thy judgments, Lord, Then let thy mercy spare. Amen. Scripture: Luke 1:50 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

O Christ, Who by a Cross

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Hymnal: Moravian Book of Worship #766 (1995) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Confession of Sin First Line: O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign Lyrics: 1 O Christ, who by a cross made peace your sign, who gives your peace in water, bread and wine: O Spirit Christ who is our spirit's home, teach us the secret of the true shalom. 2 We speak of peace when in our hearts we war and, unforgiving, keep our grudges sore; we promise peace while yet we strive to win, and in our enemy, see not our kin. 3 Two deaths now face the starving and the fed - the blinding bomb, the simple lack of bread; with riches of the earth at our command, from weaponry to welcome, turn our hand. 4 The selfishness which is our human curse, the arsenal of hatred which we nurse - all are dispelled when in our hearts we say: "There is no way to peace: peace is the way."
