O God of mercy, God of might

Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of might, In love and pity infinite, Teach us, as ever in thy sight, To live our life to thee. 2 And thou who cam'st on earth to die, That fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to thee we cry In hope, O Lord, to thee. 3 Teach us the lesson thou hast taught, To feel for those thy blood hath bought; That ev'ry word and deed and thought May work a work for thee. 4 For they are brethren, far and wide, Since thou, O Lord, for them hast died; Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide, To love them all in thee. 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share; May we, when help is needed, there Give help as unto thee.

Rise, my soul, to watch and pray

Author: Johann B. Freystein; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, From thy sleep awaken; Be not by the evil day Unawares o'ertaken. For the foe, Well we know, Oft his harvest reapeth While the Christian sleepeth. 2 Watch against the devil's snares Lest asleep he find thee; For indeed no pains he spares To deceive and blind thee. Satan's prey Oft are they Who secure are sleeping And no watch are keeping. 3 Watch! Let not the wicked world With its pow'r defeat thee. Watch lest with her pomp unfurled She betray and cheat thee. Watch and see Lest there be Faithless friends to charm thee, Who but seek to harm thee. 4 Watch against thyself, my soul, Lest with grace thou trifle; Let not self thy thoughts control Nor God's mercy stifle. Pride and sin Lurk within All thy hopes to scatter; Heed not when they flatter. 5 But while watching, also pray To the Lord unceasing. He will free thee, be thy stay, Strength and faith increasing. O Lord, bless In distress And let nothing swerve me From the will to serve thee. Amen.

When I survey the wondrous cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,050 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood. 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down: Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Freely now to thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to thy loving breast; In thy love for ever living I must be for ever blest.

With broken heart and contrite sigh
