Holy Spirit, Pity Me
Author: William M. Bunting, 1798-1874 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: Holy Spirit! pity me Lyrics: 1. Holy Spirit! pity me,
Pierced with grief for grieving Thee;
Present, though I mourn apart,
Listen to a wailing heart.
2. Sins unnumbered I confess,
Of exceeding sinfulness,
Sins against Thyself alone,
Only to Omniscience known.
3. Deafness to Thy whispered calls,
Rashness ’midst remembered falls,
Transient fears beneath the rod,
Treacherous trifling with my God.
4. Tasting that the Lord is good,
Pining then for poisoned food;
At the fountains of the skies
Craving creaturely supplies!
5. Worldly cares at worship time:
Groveling aims in works sublime;
Pride, when God is passing by!
Sloth, when souls in darkness die!
6. Chilled devotions, changed desires,
Quenched corruption’s earlier fires:
Sins like these my heart deceive,
Thee, who only know’st them, grieve.
7. O how lightly I have slept,
With Thy daily wrongs unwept!
Sought Thy chiding to defer,
Shunned the wounded Comforter.
8. Woke to holy labors fresh,
With the plague-spot in my flesh;
Angel seemed to human sight,
Stood a leper in Thy light!
9. Still Thy comforts do not fail,
Still Thy healing aids avail;
Patient Inmate of my breast,
Thou art grieved, yet I am blest.
10. O be merciful to me,
Now in bitterness for Thee!
Father, pardon through Thy Son
Sins against Thy Spirit done! Used With Tune: SEYMOUR
Holy Spirit, Pity Me
Slowly, By God's Hand Unfurled
Author: William H. Furness Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 73 hymnals First Line: Slowly, by God’s hand unfurled Lyrics: 1 Slowly, by God’s hand unfurled,
Down around the weary world
Falls the darkness; O, how still
Is the working of His will!
2 Mighty Spirit, ever nigh!
Work in me as silently;
Veil the day’s distracting sights,
Show me Heaven’s eternal lights.
3 Living stars to view be brought
In the boundless realms of thought;
High and infinite desires,
Flaming like those upper fires!
4 Holy truth, eternal right,
Let them break upon my sight;
Let them shine serene and still,
And with light my being fill. Used With Tune: SEYMOUR
Slowly, By God's Hand Unfurled

Softly fades the twilight ray
Author: Samuel F. Smith Appears in 215 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Softly fades the twilight ray
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life’s setting sun,
When the Christian’s course is run.
2 Peace is on the world abroad;
’Tis the holy peace of God--
Symbol of the peace within,
When the spirit rests from sin.
3 Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshipper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize.
4 Saviour, may our Sabbaths be
Days of peace and joy in Thee:
Till in heaven our souls repose,
Where the Sabbath ne’er shall close.
Amen.

God of Mercy! God of Grace!
Author: John Taylor Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 189 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace!
Hear our sad, repentant songs.
O restore Thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs!
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent:
3 Foolish fears and fond desires,
Vain regrets for things as vain:
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain;
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own.
Humbled at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne.
Amen.
