Thine forever! God of love

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #411 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Thine forever! God of love, Hear us from Thy throne above; Thine forever may we be, Here and in eternity. 2 Thine forever! Lord of life, Shield us through our earthly strife; Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Guide us to the realms of day. 3 Thine forever! O how blest They who find in Thee their rest! Savior, Guardian, heavenly Friend, O defend us to the end. 4 Thine forever! Savior, keep These Thy frail and trembling sheep! Safe alone beneath Thy care, Let us all Thy goodness share. 5 Thine forever! Thou our Guide, All our wants by Thee supplied, All our sins by Thee forgiven, Lead us, Lord, from earth to heaven.

My God, accept my heart this day

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #412 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my heart this day, And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2 Before the cross of Him who died, Behold, I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, And Christ be all in all! 3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, Adopt me for Thine own; That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne! 4 May the dear blood, once shed for me, My blest atonement prove, That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy love! 5 Let every thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever given: Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven!

Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #413 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.4.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, in Thee alone My only hope on earth I place, For other comforter is none, No help have I but in Thy grace. There is no man nor creature here, No angel in the heavenly sphere, Who in my need can succor me. I cry to Thee, For Thee I trust implicitly. 2 My sin is very sore and great, I mourn beneath its dreadful load; O free me from this heavy weight, My Savior, through Thy precious blood; And with Thy Father for me plead That Thou hast suffered in my stead; From me the burden then is rolled. Lord, I lay hold On Thy dear promises of old. 3 And in Thy mercy now bestow True Christian faith on me, O Lord! That all the sweetness I may know Which in Thy holy cross is stored, Love Thee o'er earthly pride or pelf, And love my neighbor as myself; And when, at last, is come my end, Be Thou my Friend, From Satan’s wiles my soul defend. 4 Glory to God in highest heaven, The Father of eternal love; For His dear Son, for sinners given, Whose watchful grace we daily prove; To God the Holy Ghost on high; O ever be His comfort nigh, And teach us, in His love and fear To please Him here, And serve Him in the heavenly sphere!

"Jesus sinners doth receive!"

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #414 (1918) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 "Jesus sinners doth receive!" O may all this saying ponder Who in sin's delusions live, And from God and heaven wander! This alone sure hope can give-- "Jesus sinners doth receive!" 2 We deserve but grief and shame, Yet His words, rich grace revealing, Pardon, peace, and life proclaim; Here their ills have perfect healing Who with humble hearts believe-- "Jesus sinners doth receive!" 3 Sheep that from the fold did stray, Every faithful shepherd seeketh; Weary souls that lost their way, Christ the Shepherd seeks and taketh In His arms, that they may live-- "Jesus sinners doth receive!" 4 Come, ye sinners, one and all, Come, ye all have invitation; Come, obey His gracious call, Come and take His free salvation! Firmly in these words believe: "Jesus sinners doth receive!" 5 I, a sinner, come to Thee, And acknowledge my transgression; Tender mercy show to me, Grant me graciously remission; Let these words my soul relieve: "Jesus sinners doth receive!" 6 Henceforth I need fear no foe; Were as scarlet my transgression, It shall be as white as snow By the virtue of Thy passion; For in these words I believe: "Jesus sinners doth receive!" 7 Now my conscience is at ease, Now I fear no condemnation. He who grants me full release Hath atoned for my transgression; In true faith to Him I cleave-- "Jesus sinners doth receive!" Topics: Catechism Languages: English

Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #415 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee, Lord, hear my lamentation; Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, And grant my supplication; For if Thou fix Thy searching eye On all sin and iniquity, Who, Lord, can stand before Thee? 2 But love and grace with Thee prevail, O God, our sins forgiving; The best and holiest deeds must fail Of all before Thee living; Before Thee none can boasting stand, But all must fear Thy strict demand, And live alone by mercy. 3 My hope I rest then on the Lord, And build not on my merit; My heart shall trust His gracious Word, His goodness stays my spirit. His precious Word assureth me He will my Joy and Comfort be; This is my firm reliance. 4 And though it tarry till the night And till the morn appeareth, My heart still trusteth in His might, It doubteth not, nor feareth. Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed, Ye of the Spirit born indeed, Wait for your God's appearing. 5 Though great our sins and sore our woes, His grace much more aboundeth; His helping love no limit knows, Our utmost need it soundeth, Our Shepherd is the Lord, and He At last shall set his Israel free From all their sin and sorrow.

Lord, to Thee I make confession

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #416 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, to Thee I make confession, I have sinned and gone astray, I have multiplied transgression, Chosen for myself my way. Led at last to see my errors, Lord, I tremble at Thy terrors. 2 Yet, though conscience' voice appall me, Father, I will seek Thy face; Though Thy child I dare not call me, Yet receive me to Thy grace; Do not for my sins forsake me, Let not yet Thy wrath o'ertake me. 3 For Thy Son hath suffered for me, And the blood He shed for sin, That can heal me and restore me, Quench this burning fire within; 'Tis alone His cross can vanquish These dark fears, and soothe this anguish. 4 Then on Him I cast my burden, Sink it in the depths below! Let me feel Thy gracious pardon, Wash me, make me white as snow. Let Thy Spirit leave me never, Make me only Thine for ever! Topics: Catechism Languages: English

O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #419 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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 memory from Thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without Thy light, Cast out and banish from Thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford; And let me now come near Thy throne, To plead the merits of Thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemned to die. 6 O may Thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Topics: Catechism Languages: English

Th' abyss of many a former sin

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #420 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Th' abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in; Like billows my transgressions roll;-- Be Thou the pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and mis'ry brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought:-- I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possessed Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! And save me, Lord, who seeks to raise To Thy dear love the hymn of praise! 4 With that saved thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God most high! With that lost prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:-- O Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!
