Weary of wandering from my God
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 147 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of wandering from my God,
And now made willing to return,
I hear, and bow me to the rod;
For Thee, not without hope, I mourn:
I have an Advocate above,
A Friend before the throne of Love.
2 O Jesus, full of truth and grace,
More full of grace than I of sin;
Yet once again I seek Thy face,
Open Thine arms and take me in;
And freely my backslidings heal,
And love the faithless sinner still.
3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back,
My fallen spirit to restore;
O, for Thy truth and mercy's sake,
Forgive, and bid me sin no more:
The ruins of my soul repair,
And make my heart a house of prayer. Topics: The Order of Salvation Repentance; Sundays in Lent; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT LÄSZT WALTEN
Weary of wandering from my God
Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 612 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy seat,
Where Jesus answers prayer;
There humbly fall before His feet,
For none can perish there.
2 Thy promise is my only plea,
With this I venture nigh;
Thou callest burdened souls to Thee,
And such, O Lord, am I.
3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin,
By Satan sorely prest,
By wars without, and fears within,
I come to Thee for rest.
4 Be Thou my Shield and Hiding-place,
That, sheltered near Thy side,
I may my fierce accuser face,
And tell him, Thou hast died.
5 O wondrous Love, to bleed and die,
To bear the Cross and shame,
That guilty sinners such as I
Might plead Thy gracious Name!

Approach, my soul, the mercy seat
Like Noah's weary dove
Author: William Augustus Muhlenberg Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Like Noah's weary dove,
That soared the earth around,
But not a resting-place above
The cheerless waters found:
2 O cease, my wandering soul,
On restless wings to roam;
All the wide world, to either pole,
Has not for thee a home.
3 Behold the ark of God,
Behold the open door;
Hasten to gain that dear abode,
And rove, my soul, no more.
4 There safe thou shalt abide,
There sweet shall be thy rest,
And every longing satisfied,
With full salvation blest.

Like Noah's weary dove
Just as I am, without one plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy Blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose Blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
5 Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
Because Thy promise I believe;
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
6 Just as I am; Thy Love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, year, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come! Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Second Sunday; Passion Week; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: QUEBEC

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus M. Toplady Appears in 2,900 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,
Save me, Lord, and make me pure.
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 my 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!

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
I lay my sins on Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6 Appears in 559 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all, and frees us
From the accurséd load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
To wash my crimson stains
White, in His Blood most precious,
Till not a spot remains.
2 I lay my wants on Jesus;
All fullness dwells in Him;
He heals all my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
I lay my griefs on Jesus,
My burdens and my cares;
He from them all releases,
He all my sorrows shares.
3 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy Child;
I long to be with Jesus,
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song.

I lay my sins on Jesus
Safely through another week
Author: John Newton Appears in 1,012 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Safely through another week,
God has brought us on our way:
Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in His courts to-day;
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 Mercies multiplied each hour
Through the week, our praise demand;
Guarded by Thy mighty power,
Fed and guided by Thy hand;
Though ungrateful we have been,
Only made returns of sin.
3 While we pray for pardoning grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show Thy reconciled face,
Take away our sin and shame:
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.
4 Here we come Thy Name to praise;
Let us feel Thy presence near:
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house appear:
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
5 May thy Gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints;
Make the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints.
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove,
Till we join the Church above. Topics: Worship The Lord's Day; Easter Sunday; Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: FREUEN WIR UNS ALL IN EIN

Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
Author: Nicholas Louis, Count Zinzendorf; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 499 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great Day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through these absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years:
No age can change its constant hue;
Thy Blood preserves it ever new.
4 O let the dead now hear Thy voice;
Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice!
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, thy Blood and Righteousness!
5 When from the dust of death I rise,
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Even then this shall be all my plea,
"Jesus hath lived and died for me." Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Second Sunday; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Lent, Fifth Sunday; Passion Week; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: HERR JESU CHRIST MEIN'S LEBENES LICHT
Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness
Now I have found the ground wherein
Author: John Wesley; John Andrew Rothe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein
Sure my soul’s anchor may remain;
The wounds of Jesus, for my sin
Before the world’s foundation slain;
Whose mercy shall unshaken stay,
When heaven and earth are fled away.
2 Father, Thine everlasting grace
Our scanty thought surpasses far:
Thy heart still melts with tenderness,
Thy arms of love still open are,
Returning sinners to receive,
That mercy they may taste, and live.
3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss!
My sins are swallowed up in Thee!
Covered is my unrighteousness,
No spot of guilt remains on me:
While Jesus’ Blood, through earth and skies,
Mercy, free, boundless mercy, cries!

Now I have found the ground wherein
The man is ever blest
Author: Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest,
Who shuns the sinner's ways;
Among their counsels never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place:
2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amid the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live;
His works are heavenly fruit.
4 Not so the ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and He approves,
The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow. Topics: The Order of Salvation Peace and Joy; Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity; Twentieth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
The man is ever blest
