Awake, my soul, to joyful lays

Author: Samuel Medley Appears in 1,078 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness Of Sin Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing thy great Redeemer’s praise; He justly claims a song from me; His loving-kindness, oh, how free! Refrain: Loving-kindness, loving-kindness, His loving kindness, oh, how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me, notwithstanding all; He saved me from my lost estate; His loving-kindness, oh, how great! [Refrain] 3 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood, His loving-kindness, oh, how good! [Refrain] 4 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have Him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. [Refrain] 5 When I shall pass death's gloomy vale, And life and mortal powers must fail, Oh, may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death! [Refrain] 6 Then shall I mount and soar away To the bright worlds of endless day; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies. [Refrain] Amen.

Psalm 51 Part 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Confession of sin, repentance, and pardon; Blood of Christ cleansing from sin; Pardon of original and actual sin; Sin original and actual, confessed and pardoned First Line: Lord, I am vile, conceived in sin Lyrics: Lord, I am vile, conceived in sin; And born unholy and unclean; Sprung from the man whose guilty fall Corrupts the race, and taints us all. Soon as we draw our infant breath, The seeds of sin grow up for death; Thy law demands a perfect heart, But we're defiled in every part. [Great God, create my heart anew, And form my spirit pure and true; O make me wise betimes to spy My danger and my remedy.] Behold, I fall before thy face; My only refuge is thy grace: No outward forms can make me clean The leprosy lies deep within. No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast, Nor hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest, Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea, Can wash the dismal stain away. Jesus, my God, thy blood alone Hath power sufficient to atone; Thy blood can make me white as snow; No Jewish types could cleanse me so. While guilt disturbs and breaks my peace, Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease; Lord, let me hear thy pard'ning voice, And make my broken bones rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 51

From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Sin Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I cry to thee, Lord, hear me, I implore thee. Bend down thy gracious ear to me, my prayer let come before thee. If thou rememb'rest each misdeed, if each should have its rightful meed, who may abide thy presence? 2 Thy love and grace alone avail to blot out my transgression; the best and holiest deeds must fail to break sin's dread oppression. Before thee none can boasting stand, but all must fear thy strict demand and live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the LORD and not in mine own merit; it rests upon his faithful Word to them of contrite spirit that he is merciful and just; this is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night and till the morning waken, my heart shall never doubt his might nor count itself forsaken. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, ye of the Spirit born indeed; wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our time 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
