Almighty Lord, before Thy throne

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord, before Thy throne, Thy mourning people bend: 'Tis on Thy grace in Christ alone, Our failing hopes depend. 2 Dark judgments, from Thy heavy hand, Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And still we live to pray. 3 How changed, alas! are truths divine For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 4 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord! Convert us by Thy grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And see again Thy face. 5 Then, should oppressing foes invade, We shall not yield to fear, Secure of all-sufficient aid, When God in Christ is near.

To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 3 Thy death, not mine, O Christ, Has paid the ransom due; Ten thousand deaths like mine Would have been all too few. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? 4 Thy righteousness, O Christ, Alone can cover me; No righteousness avails Save that which is of Thee. To whom, save Thee, who canst alone For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee? Topics: Faith and Justification

Thy life was giv'n for me

Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy life was giv'n for me, Thy blood, O Lord, was shed, That I might ransom'd be, And quickened from the dead. Thy life was giv'n for me: What have I giv'n for Thee? 2 Thy Father's home of light, Thy rainbow-circled throne, Were left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. Yea, all was left for me: Have I left aught for Thee? 3 And Thou hast brought to me, Down from Thy home above, Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and Thy love. Great gifts Thou broughtest me: What have I brought to Thee? 4 Oh, let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent, World's fetters all be riven, And pain with joy be blent! Thou gavest Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee. Topics: Sanctification

Lord, to Thee I make confession

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, to Thee I make confession, I have sinned and gone astray, I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way. Led at last to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors. 2 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me, Father, I will seek Thy face; Though Thy child I dare not call me, Yet receive me to Thy grace; Do not for my sins forsake me, Let not yet Thy wrath o'ertake me. 3 For Thy Son hath suffered for me, And the blood He shed for sin, That can heal me and restore me, Quench this burning fire within; 'Tis alone His cross can vanquish These dark fears, and soothe this anguish. 4 Then on Him I cast my burden, Sink it in the depths below! Let me feel Thy gracious pardon, Wash me, make me white as snow. Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me only Thine for ever! Topics: Catechism

Christ is our Corner-stone

Appears in 189 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone, On Him alone we build: With His true saints alone The courts of heav'n are filled; On His great love our hopes we place, Of present grace and joys above. 2 Oh, then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise, The Three in One to sing; And thus proclaim in joyful song Both loud and long, that glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower, on all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore, Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away.

Come, my Savior, Come, my Savior, Thou hast promised: quickly come. Topics: Judgment

Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, true man and God, Who borest anguish, scorn, the rod, And diedst at last upon the tree, To gain Thy Father's grace for me: 2 I pray Thee, through that bitter woe, With me, a sinner, mercy know, When comes the hour of failing breath, And I must wrestle, Lord, with death, 3 When from my sight all fades away, And when my tongue no more can say, And when mine ears no more can hear, And when my heart is racked with fear, 4 When all my mind is darkened o'er, And human help can do no more; Then come, Lord Jesus, come with speed, And help me in my hour of need. 5 Lead me from this dark vale beneath, And shorten then the pangs of death; All evil spirits drive away, But let Thy Spirit with me stay, 6 Until my soul the body leave; Then in Thy hands my soul receive, And let the earth my body keep, Till the last day shall break its sleep. 7 Joyful my resurrection be, Thou in the Judgment plead for me, And hide my sins, Lord, from Thy face, And give me life, of Thy dear grace! 8 Implicitly I trust Thee, Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word: "In truth I tell you, who receives My Word, and keeps it, and believes, 9 Shall never fall God's wrath beneath, Shall never taste eternal death; Though here he must return to dust, He still is noways therefore lost; 10 For I will with a mighty hand Deliver him from Death's strong band, And lift him hence that he shall be Forever in my realm with me, 11 Forever living there in bliss." O let us not that glory miss! Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt, Help us to wait until Thou wilt 12 That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death, Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.
