From Depths of Woe I Raise to Thee

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I raise to thee the voice of lamentation; Lord, turn a gracious ear to me and hear my supplication: if thou iniquities dost mark, our secret sins and misdeeds dark, O who shall stand before thee? 2 To wash away the crimson stain, grace, grace alone availeth; our works, alas! are all in vain; in much the best life faileth: no man can glory in thy sight, all must alike confess thy might, and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my trust is in the Lord, and not in mine own merit; on him my soul shall rest, his Word upholds my fainting spirit: his promised mercy is my fort, my comfort, and my sweet support; I wait for it with patience. 4 What though I wait the live-long night, and till the dawn appeareth, my heart still trusteth in his might; it doubteth not nor feareth: do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed; and wait till God appeareth. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes his grace much more aboundeth; his helping love no limit knows, our utmost need it soundeth. Our Shepherd good and true is he, who will at last his Israel free from all their sin and sorrow. Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOT Text Sources: Trans. comp.; alt. 1961

Alexander, 1804-1859 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 751 hymnals Topics: Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded, With thorns, Thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss till now, was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine! 2 What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners’ gain; Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain. Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 The joy can ne'er be spoken, Above all joys beside, When in Thy body broken I thus with safety hide. My Lord of life, desiring Thy glory now to see, Beside the cross expiring, I'd breathe my soul to Thee. 4 What language shall I borrow, To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Oh, make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Scripture: John 19:18 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE
