Pardoning Grace

Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon First Line: Out of the deeps of long distress Lyrics: 1 Out of the deeps of long distress, The borders of despair, I sent my cries to seek thy grace, My groans to move thine ear. 2 Great God, should thy severer eye, And thine impartial hand, Mark and revenge iniquity, No mortal flesh could stand. 3 But there are pardons with my God, For crimes of high degree! Thy Son has bought them with his blood, To draw us near to thee. 4 [I wait for thy salvation, Lord, With strong desires I wait; My soul, invited by thy word Stands watching at thy gate.] 5 [Just as the guards that keep the night Long for the morning skies, Watch the first beams of breaking light, And meet them with their eyes; 6 So waits my soul to see thy grace And more intent than they, Meets the first openings of thy face, And finds a brighter day.] 7 Then in the Lord let Israel trust, Let Israel seek his face; The Lord is good as well as just, And plenteous is his grace. 8 There’s full redemption at his throne, For sinners long enslav'd; The great Redeemer is his son: And Israel shall be sav'd. Scripture: Psalm 130

God! When human bonds are broken

Author: Frederik Herman Kaan, 1929- Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 God! When human bonds are broken and we lack the love or skill to restore the hope of healing, give us grace and make us still. 2 Through that stillness, with your Spirit come into our world of stress, for the sake of Christ forgiving; all the failures we confess. 3 You in us are bruised and broken: hear us as we seek release from the pain of earlier living; set us free and grant us peace. 4 Send us, God of new beginnings, humbly hopeful into life. Use us as a means of blessing: make us stronger, give us faith. 5 Give us faith to be more faithful, give us hope to be more true, give us love to go on learning: God! Encourage and renew!

Not What My Hands Have Done

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Sin and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul; not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God; not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load. 2 Thy work alone, O Christ, can ease this weight of sin; thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, can give me peace within. Thy love to me, O God, not mine, O Lord, to thee, can rid me of this dark unrest, and set my spirit free. 3 Thy grace alone, O God, to me can pardon speak; thy pow'r alone, O Son of God, can this sore bondage break. No other work, save thine, no other blood will do; no strength, save that which is divine, can bear me safely through. 4 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; and with unfalt'ring lip and heart, I call this Savior mine. His cross dispels each doubt; I bury in his tomb each thought of unbelief and fear, each ling'ring shade of gloom. 5 I praise the God of grace; I trust his truth and might; he calls me his, I call him mine, my God, my joy, my light. 'Tis he who saveth me, and freely pardon gives; I love because he loveth me, I live because he lives. Scripture: John 14:19 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
