my only trust, who our salvation gives,
who pain did undergo for my poor sake;
I pray you from our hearts all cares to take.
2 You are the King of mercy and of grace,
reigning omnipotent in every place:
so come, our King, and our whole being sway;
shine on us with the light of your pure day.
3 You are the life by which alone we live
and all our substance and our strength receive;
sustain us by your faith and by your power,
and give us strength in every trying hour.
4 You have the true and perfect gentleness,
no harshness have you and no bitterness:
O grant to us to live before your face
that we may dwell united in your grace.
5 Our hope is in no other save in you;
our faith is built upon your promise true;
Lord, give us peace, and make us calm and sure,
that in your strength we evermore endure.

with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown:
how art thou pale with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn;
how does that visage languish
which once was bright as morn!
2 Thy grief and bitter passion
were all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the cruel pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour,
turn not from me thy face;
but look on me with favour,
and grant to me thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee.
4 Be near me when I am dying,
O show thy cross to me;
and for my succour flying,
come, Lord, to set me free.
These eyes, new faith receiving,
from thee shall not remove,
for all who die believing,
die safely through thy love.

Where high the heavenly temple stands
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-67 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Confession of Faith Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands,
the house of God not made with hands,
a great High Priest our nature wears,
the Saviour of the world appears.
2 He who for us our surety stood,
and poured on earth his precious blood,
pursues in heaven his plan of grace,
the Saviour of the human race.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
he bends on earth a brother's eye;
partaker of the human name,
he knows the frailty of our frame.
4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains
a fellow-feeling of our pains,
and still remembers in the skies
his tears, his agonies and cries.
5 In every pain that rends the heart
the Man of Sorrows has a part;
he sympathizes with our grief,
and to the sufferer sends relief.
6 With boldness, therefore, at God's throne
let us make all our sorrows known,
and ask the aid of heavenly power
to help us in the evil hour. Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, alt.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,286 hymnals Topics: Confessing Faith Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home;
2 under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure.
Sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
soon bears us all away.
We fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op’ning day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
still be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home. Scripture: Job 14:1-2 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: based on Psalm 90:1-8; The Psalms of David [. . .], alt.

Whose guilt is pardon'd by his God,
Whose sins with sorrow are confess'd,

No more permits his crimes to rise;

His humble joy, his holy fear,
With deep repentance well agree,
And join to prove his faith sincere.

That hides and cancels all his sins!
While a bright evidence of grace
Through all his life appears and shines. Scripture: Psalm 32
