Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord, God, O hear my wailing! Thy gracious ear incline to me, And make my prayer availing. On my misdeeds in mercy look, O deign to blot them from Thy book, Or who can stand before Thee? 2 Thy sovereign grace and boundless love, Make Thee, O Lord, forgiving; My purest thoughts and deeds but prove Sin in my heart is living: None guiltless in Thy sight appear; All who approach Thy throne must fear, And humbly trust Thy mercy. 3 Thou canst be merciful while just,-- This is my hope's foundation; On Thy redeeming grace I trust, Grant me, then, thy salvation. Shielded by Thee, I stand secure; Thy word is firm, thy promise sure, And I rely upon Thee. 4 Like those who watch the midnight's hour To hail the dawning morrow, I wait for Thee, I trust Thy power, Unmoved by doubt or sorrow. So let Thy Israel hope in Thee, And he shall find Thy mercy free, And Thy redemption plenteous. 5 Where'er the greatest sins abound, By grace they are exceeded; Thy helping hand is always found With aid where aid is needed; Thy hand, the only hand to save, Will rescue Israel from the grave, And pardon his transgression.

From Depths of Woe I Cry to You

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78; Gracia Grindal, b. 1943 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From depths of woe I cry to you; Lord, hear me, I implore you. Bend down your gracious ear to me; My prayer let come before you. If you kept record of my sin And held against me what I've been, How could I stand before you? 2 Your love and grace alone avail To blot out my transgression. The best and holiest deeds must fail To break sin's dread oppression. Before you none can boasting stand, But all must fear your strict demand And live alone by mercy. 3 Therefore my hope is in the Lord And not in my 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 [Text copyrighted] Topics: Confession and Absolution; Confession and Absolution Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOT

The Little While I Linger Here

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here Should grief and fear o'ertake me? No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear, He never will forsake me. He gave His life to save the herd, And with His Spirit and His Word, Is present with us always. 2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice, I go where'er He beckons. His own He knows, they are His choice, Their numbers, too, He reckons. And He will seek the straying sheep, The feeble in His bosom keep, And gently raise the fallen. 3 He strengthens me with living bread, With waters sweet and gracious, Which flow from life's great fountain-head, With peace and joy most precious. Though rough and thorny is my way, If from His path I do not stray, I shall not be discouraged. 4 O Thou who saidst, "Away from me No one shall snatch them ever." Thee I implore, to Thee I fee, Ah leave, forsake me, never! The world allures; oh, guide me through, That with the blesséd I may view thy Father's glorious mansions. 5 How vain the worldling's pomp and show, How brief His joys and pleasures! The night approaches now, and lo! We leave all earthly treasures. And then what is all earthly bliss to that blest promise, Where He is We shall be with Him also!

The 13th Psalm of David

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: How long, Lord, in forgetfulness Lyrics: How long, Lord, in forgetfulness And darkness wilt Thou leave me? How long will sorrow on me press And deep heart-anguish grieve me? Wilt Thou Thy face, Lord, utterly Turn from me? wilt ne’er look on me In grace and in compassion? How long shall I, thy stricken child, Bereft of soul-rest languish? How long shall storm and wind so wild, Fill heart with fear and anguish? How long shall my proud enemy, Who only meaneth ill to me, Exult o’er me in triumph? Ah! look on me, my Shield and Lord! Down from Thy holy heaven, And hear now my complaining word, My pray’r from heart grief-riven. Give to mine eyes, Lord, pow’r and might, And do not let death’s gloomy night So speedily o’ertake me. For then, Lord, ev’ry enemy Would never cease to glory, And were I prostrate utterly, Would ever triumph o’er me. “There lieth he,” they’d cry in joy, “Who caus’d us evermore annoy, He’s prostrate and ne’er riseth.” I know them, and I know fall well The wickedness they’re planning, Their hearts with ev’ry evil swell, No good them e’er restraining. But Thou, the faithful One, Lord, art, And those who choose Thee for their part, Thou nevermore forsakest. My soul doth calmly trust in Thee, Thou true to me remainest, Of malice and of subtlety The course, with pow’r restrainest. This makes my heart with joy o’erflow, That willingly dost Thou bestow Salvation on the trusting. O Lord! for aye I’ll trust in Thee, Thou’rt my sole joy for ever; Thou doest well, protectest me, From sorrow dost deliver. And therefore I my whole life long, Will sing Thee oft a gladsome song Of praise and of thanksgiving.

When My Last Hour Is Close at Hand

Author: N. Herman, c. 1480-1561; Unknown; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, Lord Jesus Christ, attend me; Beside me then, O Savior, stand To comfort and defend me. Into Thy hands I will commend My soul at this my earthly end, And Thou wilt keep it safely. 2 My sins, dear Lord, disturb me sore, My conscience cannot slumber; But though as sands upon the shore My sins may be in number, I will not quail, but think of Thee; Thy death, Thy sorrow, borne for me, Thy suff'rings, shall uphold me. 3 I am a branch in Thee, the Vine, And hence the comfort borrow That Thou wilt surely keep me Thine Through fear and pain and sorrow; And when I die, I die to Thee, Thy precious death hath won for me The life that never endeth. 4 Since Thou the pow'r of death didst rend, In death Thou wilt not leave me; Since Thou didst into heaven ascend, No fear of death shall grieve me. For where Thou art, there shall I be That I may ever live with Thee; That is my hope when dying. 5 My spirit I commend to Thee And gladly hence betake me; Peaceful and calm my sleep shall be, No human voice can wake me. But Christ is with me through the strife, And He will bear me into life And open heav'n before me. Topics: Death and Burial; Trinity 16 Used With Tune: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN
