My company before is gone, and I am left alone with thee. With thee all night I mean to stay, and wrestle till the break of day. With thee all night I mean to stay, and wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell thee who I am, my misery or sin declare; thyself hast called me by my name, look on thy hands and read it there. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 Yield to me now for I am weak, but confident in self-despair! Speak to my heart, in blessing speak; be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. 4 'Tis Love!'tis Love! thou diedst for me, I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee; pure, universal love thou art. To me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love. To me, to all, thy mercies move; thy nature and thy name is Love. Scripture: Genesis 32:22-32 Used With Tune: CANDLER

Out of the Deep I Cry to Thee

Author: Benjamin La Trobe, 1725-1786; Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Repentance and Confession of Sin Lyrics: 1 Out of the deep I cry to Thee, My God, with heart’s contrition; Bow down Thine ear in grace to me, And hear Thou my petition; For if in judgment Thou wilt try Man’s sin and great iniquity, Ah, who can stand before Thee. 2 To gain remission of our sin, No work of ours availeth; God’s favor we may strive to win, But all our labor faileth; We’re ‘midst our fairest actions lost, And none ‘fore Him of aught can boast. We live alone through mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in His grace And not in my own merit; On Him my confidence I place, Instructed by His Spirit; His precious Word hath promised me He will my Joy and Comfort be; Thereon is my reliance. 4 Though sin with us much abound, Yet grace still more aboundeth; Sufficient help in Christ is found, Where sin most deeply woundeth. He the good Shepherd is indeed, Who His lost sheep doth seek and lead With tender love and pity. Used With Tune: DE PROFUNDIS
