Our Guilt Do We Confess Today

Author: Richard W. Adams Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Our guilt do we confess today, Your law did we reject; So little truth and mercy here— Your Word sees no respect. 2. We swear, we lie, we kill and steal, See harlotry increase; We break restraint, and blood on blood, Ignore the law of peace. 3. Our land, it mourns, we waste away, For wisdom seek we not; Destruction will our portion be, If God we have forgot. 4. To crystals, stone, and gold we pray, Those worthless things we preach; Those sightless eyes, unhearing ears, In vain do we beseech. 5. We well deserve the charge You bring, Upon us lays the blame; Contentious, proud, we stumble on, Our glory turns to shame. 6. Show us that only in Your Word Do truth and mercy live; Send priests and prophets to instruct, And Your pure wisdom give. 7. Have mercy, Lord, reject us not, Draw us to seek Your face; Direct our feet and deeds to You, Restore us by Your grace. 8. Lord, melt these icy hearts of stone, Make us Your counsel seek, And sacrifice to You alone, With humble hearts and meek. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

Too Many, Lord, Abuse Thy Grace

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Too many, Lord, abuse Thy grace, In this licentious day; And while they boast they see Thy face, They turn their own away. 2. Thy Book displays a gracious light That can the blind restore; But these are dazzled by the sight, And blinded still the more. 3. The pardon, such presume upon, They do not beg, but steal; And when they plead it at Thy throne, Oh! where’s the Spirit’s seal? 4. Was it for this, ye lawless tribe, The dear Redeemer bled? Is this the grace the saints imbibe From Christ the living Head? 5. Ah, Lord, we know Thy chosen few Are fed with heavenly fare; But these, the wretched husks they chew Proclaim them what they are. 6. The liberty our hearts implore Is not to live in sin; But still to wait at wisdom’s door, Till mercy calls us in. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Was It Enough?

Author: Neil Barham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Was it enough, that God should die Lyrics: 1. Was it enough, that God should die To take away my sin? Enough to close the door of Hell, And stop my falling in? 2. Enough, that I be righteous found, Before His perfect view? Enough, that Christ’s own deeds be mine? Despite all I could do? 3. Enough that all my soul and mind Transformed within should be? Enough, my sin should be subdued, And God should live in me? 4. No! Not enough! More would He do! How deep His mercy runs: That I, a treas’nous wretch, should be Adopted as His son! 5. To wear His name, to feel His kiss, To lie in that embrace, What grand, mysterious gentleness Shines in my Father’s face! Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM

Should we accept that evil means

Author: Tom Colvin Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Should we accept that evil means will evil powers deter? Should we believe the howls of hate that cloud our lives with fear? 2 Enfold us in your love, Yesu, and we shall be secure, for we shall love our foes as friends and fear shall be no more. 3 Your perfect love, which drives out fear will all our lives control; in every deed and word we shall fulfill our servant-role. 4 To live by love shall be our aim; peace shall be ours to share. Our openness, our joy, our faith will show whose friends we are. 5 Love is the Way among us here through Christ the source of Peace. Let reconciling love in us now cause the wars to cease.

The Land Before Them, Where to Choose?

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The land before them, where to choose Lyrics: 1 The land before them, where to choose— They may not dwell at one— Lay far and wide, on either side, Beneath the morning sun. 2 Here homes of rest, like Eden dressed, And there, beyond the skies, The City stands not made with hands, Nor seen with mortal eyes. 3 Who pitched his tent where sinners went, Still keeps his spirit whole; Nor eye nor ear lets that way near, Defilement to the soul. 4 The Lord knows how the sainted brow To fence with holy shame, Sweet angel guest, unknown, but blest, To pull us from the flame. 5 Straight to his noon, with staff and shoon, The pilgrim climbs the hills; And see the star of Christ afar, Dim through the twilight’s chills. 6 There, like a pall, o’er field and wall, The furnace hangs its breath; And Jordan’s waves those cities’ graves Heap with a sea of death.
