Art thou weary, art thou languid

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.5.8.3 Appears in 653 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distress'd? "Come to me," saith One, "and, coming, Be at rest!" 2 Hath he marks to lead me to him, If he be my Guide? "In his feet and hands are wound-prints, And his side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That his brow adorns? “Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorn." 4 If I find him, if I follow, What his guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to him, What hath he at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask him to receive me, Will he say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is he sure to bless? "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, 'Yes.'" Amen.

O thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banished from thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me, that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God.

We have not known thee as we ought

Author: Thomas Benson Pollock Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have not known thee as we ought, Nor learned thy wisdom, grace and pow'r; The things of earth have filled our thought, And trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light thy truth to see, And make us wise in knowing thee. 2 We have not feared thee as we ought, Nor bowed beneath thine awful eye, Nor guarded deed, and word, and thought, Remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know thee near, And grant the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart To feel and own the love thou art. 4 We have not served thee as we ought; Alas! the duties left undone, The work with little fervor wrought, The battles lost, or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know thee as we ought, And fear, and love, and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare To see thy face, and serve thee there. Amen.

Author: Augustus M. Toplady; Thomas Cotterill Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2,982 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water, and the blood, From thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever flow, All for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and thou alone. 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to thy cross I cling; Naked, come to thee for dress, Helpless, look to thee for grace; Foul, I to the Fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.
