O come, if sinner be thy name

Author: L. F. F. Lehr Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.8.9.9.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O come, if sinner be thy name, And sin's sore burden thou art feeling, To Him who never put to shame The suppliant at His footstool kneeling, Why wilt thou gloom for glory choose, And His free gift of life refuse? Wilt thou file bondage love for ever, When He proclaims the word, Deliver? Ah! cease thy dearest friend to grieve, My Savior sinners doth receive. 2 Come, heavy laden, bending low, Come as thou canst, to him returning; If 'neath the weight thou'rt weak and slow, Yet creep,--who found Him any spurning? Fear not, His heart in love doth beat; If thou art slow, He hastes to meet. Long hath He called with warm entreaty; His soul doth melt in deepest pity: So come, poor worm, this may relieve, My Savior sinners doth receive. 3 Say not: My sins are crimson dyed, I've scorned His mercy's richest treasure, His call I've mocked, His threats defied, Now wrath is mine in fullest measure. Go seek Him, if thy heart be bent, And earnestly its sin repent, His grace o'ersteps guilt's every mountain, And opens free the cleansing fountain. Hope on,--this word can all retrieve, My Savior sinners doth receive. 4 Yet say not: I may still delay, Taste of sin's joy, and be forgiven, God will not yet this very day Close the wide gate of grace and heaven. His gift He offers; hasten thou With both thy hands and seize it now; He who drams on, by sin deluded, Will find himself at last excluded: Burst now the net thy foe doth weave, Now Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 Friend of the sinner, in Thy grace, Teach us to seek Thy succor speedy; Reveal to anxious souls Thy face, To us, to all the poor and needy. When conscience feels sin's bitter smart, Show us Thy pierced and open heart; When anguish on our soul is preying, Let us not stand, in doubt delaying; Let each one say: Lord, I believe; 'Tis done--me Jesus doth receive.

O Lord, when condemnation

Author: J. Gesenius Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, when condemnation And guilt oppress my soul, Then let Thy bitter passion The rising storm control: Remind me that Thy blood was spilt For me, O most unworthy! To take away my guilt. 2 O wonder passing measure To faith's enlightened eye! For slaves it ws the pleasure Of their own Lord to die! The mighty God stoops from on high For me, lost, ruined creature, And deigns as man to die. 3 My sins rise up to heaven,-- And countless is their lost; But Christ Himself hath given, And paid the mighty cost: Since then on Him my sins were laid, Of hell and all its torments, I am no more afraid. 4 Henceforth my heart shall bless Thee Whilst here its pulses move; Its songs of praise address Thee For all Thy dying love: Thy wrongs and last deep agony Shall be my meditation Till I am called to Thee. 5 Lord, let Thy bitter passion My soul with strength inspire To flee with indignation All sinful, low desire: Ah! never would I, Lord, forget The greatness of that ransom Which paid my endless debt. 6 Should earthly griefs assail me, If need be, shame and scorn, Let patience never fail me To bear as Thou hast borne: Grant that the world I may forsake, And Thee for my example, Oh! may I daily take. 7 Still let me do to others As Thou hast done to me, And look on all as brothers, Their willing servant be: O may I never seek my own, But help as Thou hast helped, With purest love alone. 8 At length when I am bidden With all things here to part, The wounds in which I'm bidden Speak peace into my heart; Relying then upon Thy blood, O give me full assurance That I shall see my God.

Not what these hands have done

Author: H. Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done Can save this guilty soul; Not what this toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers, and sighs, and tears, Can bear my awful load. 2 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy power alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. No other work save Thine, No meaner blood will do; No strength, save that which is divine, Can bear me safely through. 3 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine. 'Tis He that saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love, because He loveth me, I live, because He lives.

O Jesus, source of calm repose

Author: J. A. Freylinghausen Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, source of calm repose, Thy like no man nor angel knows, Fairest among ten thousand fair! E'en those whom death's sad fetters bound, Whom thickest darkness compassed round, Find light and life, if Thou appear. 2 Renew Thine image, Lord, in me, Lowly and gentle may I be; No charms to thee but these are dear: No anger may'st Thou ever find, No pride, in my unruffled mind, But faith and heaven-born peace, be there. 3 A patient, a victorious mind That life and all things cast behind, Springs forth obedient to Thy call. A heart that no desire can move, But still to adore, believe, and love, Give me, my Lord, my life, my all!

When afflictions sore oppress you

Olearius Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When afflictions sore oppress you, Low with grief and anguish bowed, Then to earnest prayer address you; Prayer will help you, through the cloud Still to see your Savior near, Under every cross you bear; By the light His Word doth lend you, Prayer will joy and comfort send you. 2 None shall ever be confounded, Who in God will freely trust; Though they be by woes surrounded, God's a rock to all the just: Though you deem He hears you not, Still your wants are ne'er forgot; Cry to Him when storms assail you, Let your courage never fail you. 3 Call on God, knock, seek, implore Him, 'Tis the Christian's noblest skill; He who comes with faith before Him, Meets with help and favor still: Who on God most firmly rest Are the wisest and the best; God will with such strength inbue them, Ne'er shall any foe subdue them. 4 Learn to mark God's wondrous dealing With the people that He loves; When His chastening hand they're feeling, Then their faith the strongest proves: God is nigh, and notes their tears, Though He answers not, He hears; Pray with faith, for though He try you, No good thing can God deny you. 5 Ponder all God's truth can teach you, Let His word your footsteps guide; Satan's wiles shall never reach you, Though he draw the world aside. Lo! God's truth is thy defense, Light, and hope, and confidence: Trust in God, He'll not deceive you, Pray, and all your foes will leave you.

I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright."

Christ alone is our salvation

Author: Anon. Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ alone is our salvation, Christ the rock on which we stand; Other than this sure foundation Will be found but sinking sand. Christ, His cross and resurrection, Is alone the sinners' plea; At the throne of God's perfection Nothing else can set him free. 2 We have all things, Christ possessing: Life eternal, second birth; Present pardon, peace, and blessing, While we tarry here on earth; And by faith's anticipation, Foretaste of the joy above, Freely given us with salvation, By the Father in His love. 3 When we perfect joy shall enter, 'Tis in Him our bless will rise; He's the essence, soul, and center Of the glory in the skies: In redemption's wondrous story Planned before our parents' fall, From the cross unto the glory, Jesus Christ is all in all.
