Come, Lord In Mercy Come Again

Author: Nathaniel Colver Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: Come, Lord, in mercy come again Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, in mercy come again, With Thy converting power; The fields of Zion thirst for rain, O send a gracious shower! 2 Our hearts are filled with sore distress, While sinners all around Are pressing on to endless death, And no relief is found. 3 Dear Savior, come with quickening power, Thy mourning people cry; Salvation bring in mercy’s hour, Nor let the sinner die. 4 Once more let converts throng Thy house, And shouts of victory raise; Then shall our griefs be turned to joy, And sighs to songs of praise.

Jesus, the very thought of thee

Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,052 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the very thought of thee with sweetness fills the breast; but sweeter far thy face to see, and in thy presence rest. 2 No voice can sing, no heart can frame, nor can the memory find, a sweeter sound than Jesus' Name, the Savior of mankind. 3 O hope of every contrite heart, O joy of all the meek, to those who fall, how kind thou art: how good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is, none but who love him know. 5 Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now, and through eternity.

To Mock Your Reign

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns, set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown, that thorns would flow'r upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak, your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all.

When rising from the bed of death

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 260 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I see my Maker face to face, O how shall I appear? 2 If yet, while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought: 3 When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed In majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O how shall I appear? 4 But Thou hast told the troubled mind, Who does her sins lament, Of Him who suffered unto death, Her sufferings to prevent. 5 Then never shall my soul despair Her pardon to procure, Who knows Thine only Son has died to make her pardon sure.

En lando malproksime for

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander; Adela Ŝefer Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. En lando malproksime for, sur verda monta pint', krucume mortis la Sinjor', de l' mondo la Savint'. 2. Ha! nedireble premis lin doloroj kaj sufer'! Li mortis, ĉar li amis nin kaj ĉiun sur la ter'. 3. Por nia savo mortis li, pardono al homar'; por ke ĉielon iru ni tra ora portalar'. 4. Li sola povis doni sin por helpi nin al bon'; li sola povas gvidi nin al glora Dia tron'. 5. Ho, kare, kare amis li, kaj elaĉetis nin! Al lia sango fidu ni kaj ĉiam amu lin.
