A Penitent pleading for Pardon

Appears in 785 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from Sin First Line: Shew Pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting Rebel live; Are not thy Mercies large and free; May not a Sinner trust in Thee? 2 My Crimes are great, but not surpass The Pow'r and Glory of thy Grace; Great GOD, thy Nature hath no Bound, So let thy pard'ning Love be found. 3 O wash my Soul from ev'ry Sin, And make my guilty Conscience clean; Here on my Heart the Burden lies, And past Offences pain mine Eyes. 4 My Lips with Shame my Sins confess Against thy Law, against thy Grace; Lord, should thy Judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden Vengeance seize my Breath, I must pronounce Thee just in Death; And if my Soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous Law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling Sinner, Lord, Whose Hope still hov'ring round thy Word, Would light on some sweet Promise there, Some sure Support against Despair. Scripture: Psalm 51

Deep in our Hearts let us record

Appears in 133 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from Sin Lyrics: 1 Deep in our Hearts let us record The deeper Sorrows of our Lord; Behold the rising Billows roll, To overwhelm his holy Soul. 2 In long Complaints he spends his Breath, While Hosts of Hell, and Pow'rs of Death, And all the Sons of Malice join To execute their curst Design. 3 Yet, gracious GOD, thy Pow'r and Love Has made the Curse a Blessing prove; Those dreadful Suff'rings of thy Son Atton'd for Sins which we had done. 4 The Pangs of our expiring Lord, The Honours of thy Law restor'd; His Sorrows made thy Justice known, And paid for Follies not his own. 5 O for his Sake our Guilt forgive, And let the mourning Sinner live! The Lord will hear us in his Name, Nor shall our Hope be turn'd to Shame. Scripture: Psalm 69

Great God, mine eyes with pleasure look On the dear volume of thy book; There my Redeemer's face I see, And read his name who died for me. Let the false raptures of the mind Be lost, and vanish in the wind; Here I can fix my hope secure; This is thy word, and must endure. Scripture: Psalm 69:7-24

'Tis from the treasures of his word

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Blood of Christ cleansing from sin Lyrics: ['Tis from the treasures of his word I borrow titles for my Lord; Nor art nor nature can supply Sufficient forms of majesty. Bright image of the Father's face, Shining with undiminished rays; Th' eternal God's eternal Son, The heir and partner of his throne.] The King of kings, the Lord most high, Writes his own name upon his thigh He wears a garment dipped in blood, And breaks the nations with his rod. Where grace can neither melt nor move, The Lamb resents his injured love; Awakes his wrath without delay, And Judah's Lion tears the prey. But when for works of peace he comes, What winning titles he assumes! Light of the world, and Life of men; Nor bears those characters in vain. With tender pity in his heart, He acts the Mediator's part; A Friend and Brother he appears, And well fulfils the names he wears. At length the Judge his throne ascends, Divides the rebels from his friends, And saints in full fruition prove His rich variety of love. Scripture: Genesis 1
