Father, Again in Jesus' Name We Meet
Author: Lucy E. G. Whitmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Confession and repentance Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet
and bow in penitence beneath thy feet;
again to thee our feeble voices raise
to sue for mercy and to sing thy praise.
2 O we would bless thee for thy ceaseless care
and all thy works from day to day declare.
Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned?
Does not thine arm encircle us around?
3 Alas, unworthy of thy boundless love,
too oft our feet from thee, our Father, rove;
but now, encouraged by thy voice, we come,
returning sinners, to a Father's home.
4 O by that name in whom all fullness dwells,
O by that love which ev'ry love excels,
O by that blood so freely shed for sin,
open blest mercy's gate and take us in. Scripture: Micah 7:18 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

How Blest Is He Whose Trespass
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Confession and repentance Lyrics: 1 How blest is he whose trespass
hath freely been forgiv'n,
whose sin is wholly covered
before the sight of heav'n.
Blest he to whom Jehovah
will not impute his sin,
who hath a guileless spirit,
whose heart is true within.
2 While I kept guilty silence,
my strength was spent with grief;
thy hand was heavy on me,
my soul found no relief.
But when I owned my trespass,
my sin hid not from thee,
when I confessed transgression,
then thou forgavest me.
3 So let the godly seek thee
in times when thou art near;
no whelming floods shall reach them,
nor cause their hearts to fear.
In thee, O Lord, I hid me,
thou savest me from ill,
and songs of thy salvation
my heart with rapture thrill.
4 I graciously will teach thee
the way that thou shalt go,
and with my eye upon thee
my counsel make thee know.
But be ye not unruly
or slow to understand;
be not perverse, but willing
to heed my wise command.
5 The sorrows of the wicked
in number shall abound,
but those that trust Jehovah,
his mercy shall surround.
Then in the Lord be joyful,
in song lift up your voice;
be glad in God, ye righteous;
rejoice, ye saints, rejoice.

If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,

If I have turned aside from want or pain,
Lest I offend some other through the strain,
Dear Lord, forgive!
3 If I have been perverse, or hard, or cold,
If I have longed for shelter in the fold,
When Thou hast given me some fort to hold,
Dear Lord, forgive!
4 Forgive the sins I have confessed to Thee;
Forgive the secret sins I do not see;
O guide me, love me, and my keeper be.
Dear Lord, forgive!

Lord, I Lift My Soul to Thee
Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Confession and repentance Lyrics: 1 Lord, I lift my soul to thee,
O my God, I trust thy might;
let not foes exult o'er me,
shame me not before their sight.
2 Yea, may none be put to shame,
none who wait for thee to bless;
but dishonored be their name
who without a cause transgress.
3 Lord, to me thy ways make known,
guide in truth and teach thou me;
thou my Savior art alone,
all the day I wait for thee.
4 Lord, remember in thy love
all thy mercies manifold,
tender mercies from above,
changeless from the days of old.
5 Sins of youth remember not,
nor my trespasses record;
let not mercy be forgot,
for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
6 Just and good the Lord abides,
he his way will sinners show;
he the meek in justice guides,
making them his way to know.
7 Grace and truth shall mark the way
where the Lord his own will lead,
if his word they still obey
and his testimonies heed.
8 For thy name's sake hear thou me;
for thy mercy, Lord, I wait;
pardon my iniquity,
for my sin is very great.
9 He who walks in godly fear
in the path of truth shall go;
peace shall be his portion here,
and his sons all good shall know. Scripture: Psalm 25:1-13 Used With Tune: SEYMOUR Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

God, Be Merciful to Me
Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: Confession; Forgiveness; Penitence; Sin; Life in Christ Repentance and Forgiveness First Line: God be merciful to me Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me,
On Thy grace I rest my plea;
Plenteous in compassion Thou,
Blot out my transgressions now;
Wash me, make me pure within,
Cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin.
2 My transgressions I confess,
Grief and guilt my soul oppress;
I have sinned against Thy grace
And provoked Thee to Thy face;
I confess Thy judgment just,
Speechless, I Thy mercy trust.
3 I am evil, born in sin;
Thou desirest truth within.
Thou alone my Saviour art,
Teach Thy wisdom to my heart;
Make me pure, Thy grace bestow,
Wash me whiter than the snow.
4 Broken, humbled to the dust
By Thy wrath and judgment just,
Let my contrite heart rejoice
And in gladness hear Thy voice;
From my sins O hide Thy face,
Blot them out in boundless grace.
5 Gracious God, my heart renew,
Make my spirit right and true;
Cast me not away from Thee,
Let Thy Spirit dwell in me;
Thy salvation's joy impart,
Steadfast make my willing heart.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: REDHEAD, NO. 76 Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912
