Out of the Depths I cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee; Lord, hear me, I implore Thee! Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, Let my prayer come before Thee! If Thou remember each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Who may abide Thy presence? 2 Our pardon is Thy gift: Thy love And grace alone avail us. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove, The strictest life must fail us. That none may boast himself of aught, But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought What in him seemeth righteous. 3 And thus, my hope is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; I rest upon His faithful word To them of contrite spirit. That He is merciful and just, Here is my comfort and my trust, His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night, And round till morning waken, My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy 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 sins and sore our woes, His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth. Our kind and faithful Shepherd, He, Who shall at last set Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOTH SCHREI ICH ZU DIR

Soon will our pilgrimage end here below, Soon to the presence of God we shall go, Then, if to Jesus our hearts have been given, Joyfully, joyfully, rest we in heaven. 2 Death with its arrows may soon lay us low, Safe in our Saviour, we fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb, Joyfully, joyfully, we will go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be conquered, his scepter be gone; Over the plains of sweet Canaan we'll roam, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home. Amen.

Who is he that would condemn me? Christ hath saved me by His grace; Who an from my Saviour draw me? I am safe in His embrace. 3 And I am persuaded ever, Life nor death shall tear me from Christ, my blessed Lord and Saviour; Present things nor things to come, Height, nor depth, nor fear, nor favor, Aught that heaven and earth afford, Can me from Go's love e'er sever, Love revealed in Christ our Lord.

Amen. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: PÅ JORDEN ÄR ALLTING FÖRÄNDERLIGT

With God and His Mercy

Author: Carl Olof Rosenius, 1816-1868 Meter: 11.11.11.6.6.11 Appears in 12 hymnals First Line: With God and His mercy, His Spirit and Word Lyrics: 1 With God and His mercy, His Spirit and Word And loving communion at altar and board, We meet with assurance the dawn of each day: The Shepherd is with us, The Shepherd is with us, To lead and protect us and teach us the way. 2 In perilous times, amid tempests and night, A band presses on, through the gloom toward light, Though humble, and meek, and disowned by the world, They follow the Saviour, They follow the Saviour, And march on to glory, with banners unfurled. 3 While groveling worldlings with dross are content, And ever on sin and transgression are bent, I follow, victorious hosts, at your word, And march on to glory, And march on to glory, We march on to glory, our captain, the Lord. 4 The sign of the cross I triumphantly bear, Though none of my kindred that emblem may wear, I joyfully follow the champions of right, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, Who march on to glory, with weapons of might. 5 The Pillar that guides us through peril and strife, The Rock that is cleft, giving waters of life, Is Christ, and His cross. By His Spirit and Word, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, our Saviour and Lord. 6 Though Satan may sift me, and sinning brings death, Yet will I hold fast, till my last dying breath, The glorious truth of the consecrate Son, Who died for the many, Who died for the many, And suffering death, our atonement has won. 7 I know that in spite of transgression and sin God's heart bears for sinners but mercy within, For Christ for mankind has full righteousness won, The One for the many, The One for the many, The One for the world standing righteous alone. 8 Yea, this is the ground for my comfort and joy, In moments when doubt seeks my faith to destroy; Whenever my body and soul be oppressed I flee to thy presence, I flee to Thy presence, And find in Thy presence protection and rest. 9 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Used With Tune: ACK, SALIGA STUNDER

With healing balm my soul He fills, And every faithless murmur stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling. In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom that could span, And power which formed creation's plan; To God all praise and glory! 3 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Saviour saw my helplessness, And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God Most High, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 4 Thus all my gladsome way along, I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises: Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! Topics: Worship Used With Tune: AF HIMLENS HÄR DEN HÖGSTES MAKT
