I Love You, O LORD, You Alone

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I love you, O LORD, you alone, my refuge on whom I depend, my maker, my Savior, my own, my hope and my trust without end. The LORD is my strength and my song, defender and guide of my ways; my master to whom I belong, my God who shall have all my praise. 2 The dangers of death gathered round, the waves of destruction came near, but in my despairing I found the LORD who released me from fear. I called for his help in my pain, to God my salvation I cried; he brought me his comfort again, I live by the strength he supplied. 3 The earth and the elements shake with thunder and lightning and hail; the cliffs and the mountain-tops break and mortals are feeble and pale. His justice is full and complete, his mercy to us has no end; the clouds are a path for his feet, he comes on the wings of the wind. 4 My hope is the promise he gives, my life is secure in his hand; I shall not be lost, for he lives! he comes to my aid— I shall stand! LORD God, you are pow'rful to save, your Spirit will spur me to pray; your Son has defeated the grave: I trust and I praise you today!

God, Be Merciful to Me

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me, on your grace I rest my plea; your compassions overflow, blot out my transgressions now; wash me, make me pure within, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against your grace and provoked you to your face; I confess your judgment just, speechless, in your mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; you desire all truth within. You alone my Savior are, teach your wisdom to my heart; make me pure, your grace bestow, wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust by your wrath and judgment just, let my contrite heart rejoice and in gladness hear your voice; from my sins, O hide your face, blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true; let me not abandoned be, let your Spirit dwell in me; your salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart. 6 Sinners then shall learn from me and to God restored shall be; Savior, all my guilt remove, and my tongue shall sing your love; touch my silent lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall praise accord. 7 No attempted sacrifice has acceptance in your eyes; broken hearts are in your sight more than sacrificial rite; contrite spirit, pleading cries, you, O God, will not despise. 8 Prosper Zion in your grace and her broken walls replace; then our righteous sacrifice shall delight your holy eyes; freewill off'rings, gladly made, on your altar shall be laid.
