Alas! By Nature How Depraved
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Alas! by nature how depraved,
How prone to every ill!
Our lives, to Satan, how enslaved,
How obstinate our will!
2. And can such sinners be restored,
Such rebels reconciled?
Can grace itself the means afford
To make a foe a child?
3. Yes, grace has found the wondrous means
Which shall effectual prove;
To cleanse us from our countless sins,
And teach our hearts to love.
4. Jesus for sinners undertakes,
And died that we may live;
His blood a full atonement makes,
And cries aloud, Forgive.
5. Yet one thing more must grace provide,
To bring us home to God;
Or we shall slight the Lord, who died,
And trample on His blood.
6. The Holy Spirit must reveal
The Savior’s work and worth;
Then the hard heart begins to feel
A new and heavenly birth.
7. Thus bought with blood, and born again,
Redeemed, and saved, by grace
Rebels, in God’s own house obtain
A son’s and daughter’s place. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns, (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 29

O God of Mercy, Hear My Call
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God of mercy, hear my call,
My loads of guilt remove;
Break down this separating wall,
That bars me from my love.
2. Give me the presence of Thy grace,
Then my rejoicing tongue
Shall speak aloud Thy righteousness,
And make Thy praise my song.
3. No blood of goats nor heifers slain,
For sin could e’er atone;
The death of Christ shall still remain
Sufficient and alone.
4. A soul oppressed with sin’s desert,
My God will ne’er despise;
A humble groan, a broken heart,
Is our best sacrifice. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
O God of Mercy, Hear My Call
Awake, My Drowsy Soul
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: Awake, my drowsy soul, awake Lyrics: 1 Awake, my drowsy soul, awake
And view the threatening scene:
The foes in legion camp around,
And treachery lurks within.
2 ’Tis not this mortal life alone
These enemies assail;
All thine eternal hopes are lost,
If their attempts prevail.
3 Now to the work of God awake;
Behold thy Maker near;
The various, arduous task pursue
With vigor and with fear.
4 The awful register goes on,
Th’account will surely come,
And opening day, or closing night
May bear me to my doom.
5 Tremendous thought! How deep it strikes!
Yet like a dream it flies,
Till God’s own voice the slumbers chase
From these deluded eyes. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: "Come, Lazarus," the Savior called Lyrics: 1 "Come, Lazarus," the Savior called,
and from the stony grave came forth
his friend, from death unthralled,
to show God's power to save.
2 It was no light or easy task
to wake this one who slept;
the Healer feigned no callous mark;
moved deeply, Jesus wept.
3 Fill us with your compassion, Lord,
our fear and pride remove,
till all our lives enflesh your word
and bear your wounds of love.
4 Convert our wills and make us whole;
wean us from selfish strife;
transform each heart and mind and soul
with your abundant life.
5 Then send us forth to show your love
in every time and place,
that healed and healing we may prove
the channels of your grace. Topics: Lent; Christ--Compassion of; Christian year--Lent; Healing; Wholeness Scripture: John 11:44 Used With Tune: BANGOR

For sinners to atone.

Her newborn babe, with two young doves,
Her humble offerings.
4. The agèd Simeon sees at last
His Lord, so long desired,
And Anna welcomes Israel’s hope,
With holy rapture fired.
5. But silent knelt the mother blest
Of the yet silent Word,
And pondering all things in her heart,
With speechless praise adored.

All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1680; Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849
