God, Be Merciful to Me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Church Year Ash Wednesday Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me; on your grace I rest my plea. My transgressions I confess; grief and guilt my soul oppress. Wash me, make me pure within; cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 Gracious God, my heart renew; make my spirit right and true. In your presence let me stay; by your Spirit show the way. Your salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart. 3 So shall sinners be restored and return to you, their Lord; Savior, all my guilt remove, and my tongue shall sing your love; touch my silent lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall praise accord. 4 Not the formal sacrifice has acceptance in your eyes; broken hearts are in your sight more than sacrificial rite; contrite spirit, pleading cries, you, O God, will not despise. 5 Prosper Zion in your grace and her broken walls replace: then our righteous sacrifice shall delight your holy eyes; freewill offerings, gladly made, on your altar shall be laid.

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Lent Lyrics: 1 Creator of the world, to thee an endless rest of joy belongs; and heavenly choirs are ever free to sing on high their festal songs. 2 But we are fallen creatures here, where pain and sorrow daily come; and how can we in exile drear sing out, as they, sweet songs of home? 3 O Father, who dost promise still that they who mourn shall blessèd be, grant us to weep for deeds of ill that banish us so long from thee: 4 but, weeping, grant us faith to rest in hope upon thy loving care; till thou restore us, with the blest, their songs of praise in heaven to share. 5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom heaven and earth adore, from men and from the angel-host be praise and glory evermore.

Though we are tempted by despair And daunted by defeat, Our invincible Lord will be seen in his strength, And his triumph will be complete. 3 Sorrow no more, Jerusalem, Discard your rages of shame! Take your crown as a gift from God Who has called you by his name. Put off your sin, and wear the robe Of glory in its place; You will shine in his light, you will share in his joy, You will praise his wonderful grace. 4 Look all around, Jerusalem, Survey from west to east; Sons and daughters of God the king Are invited to his feast. Out of their exile far away His scattered fam'ly come, And the streets will resound with the songs of the saints When the Savior welcomes us home. Scripture: Baruch 4 Used With Tune: PURPOSE
