How Helpless Guilty Nature Lies

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #412 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart unchanged can never rise To happiness and God. 2 Can aught beneath a power divine The stubborn will subdue? ’Tis Thine, Almighty Saviour, Thine, To form the heart anew. 3 ’Tis Thine the passions to recall, And upwards bid them rise; And make the scales of error fall From reason’s darkened eyes. 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live, A beam of heaven, a vital ray, ’Tis Thine alone to give. 5 O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine! Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord, be Thine. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Repentance; Trinity, Eleventh Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

Great King of Nations, Hear Our Prayer

Author: John H. Gurney Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #713 (1990) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great King of nations, hear our prayer, while at your feet we fall, and humbly, with united cry, to you for mercy call. 2 The guilt is ours, but grace is yours, O turn us not away; but hear us from your lofty throne, and help us when we pray. 3 Our fathers' sins were manifold, and ours no less we own, yet wondrously from age to age your goodness has been shown. 4 When dangers, like a stormy sea, beset our country round, to you we looked, to you we cried, and help in you was found. 5 With one consent we meekly bow beneath your chast'ning hand, and, pouring forth confession meet, mourn with our mourning land. 6 With pitying eye behold our need, as thus we lift our prayer; correct us with your judgments, Lord, then let your mercy spare.
