Alas, my God! my sins are great

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #421 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that at my strait No man hath power to aid me. 2 And fled I hence, in my despair, In some lone spot to hide me, My griefs would still be with me there, And peace still be denied me. 3 Lord, Thee I seek;--I merit naught, Yet pity and restore me; Be not Thy wrath, just God, my lot, Thy Son hath suffered for me. 4 If pain and woe must follow sin, Then be my path still rougher, Here spare me not; if heaven I win, On earth I gladly suffer. 5 But curb my heart, forgive my guilt, Make Thou my patience firmer, For they must miss the good Thou wilt Who at Thy chastenings murmur. 6 Then deal with me as seems Thee best, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Savior share it.

And wilt Thou pardon, Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #422 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And wilt Thou pardon, Lord, A sinner such as I? Although Thy book his crimes record Of such a crimson dye. 2 So deep are they engraved, So terrible their fear: The righteous scarcely can be saved, And where shall I appear? 3 O Thou Physician blest, Make clean my guilty soul! And me, by many a sin oppressed, Restore, and keep me whole. 4 I know not how to praise Thy mercy and Thy love; But deign Thy servant to upraise, And I shall learn above.

Out of the deep I call

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #423 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Out of the deep I call To Thee, O Lord, to Thee; Before Thy throne of grace I fall, Be merciful to me. 2 Out of the deep I cry, The woeful deep of sin, Of evil done in days gone by, Of evil now within. 3 Out of the deep of fear, And dread of coming shame. From morning watch till night is near I plead the precious name. 4 Lord, there is mercy now, As ever was, with Thee; Before Thy throne of grace I bow; Be merciful to me.

O God, Thou righteous, faithful Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #424 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O God, Thou righteous, faithful Lord, I have not kept Thy holy Word, But sinned, and oft offended Thee; Now I repent, it grieveth me. 2 Thou, Father, merciful and kind, No pleasure in my death dost find, But strong desire doth in Thee burn, That I would unto Thee return. 3 Since Thou, dear Father, callest me, I, poor lost sinner, come to Thee, Relying on Christ's precious blood Which from His holy five wounds flowed. 4 I pray through Christ, Thine only Son, Who for my good here flesh put on; Thy love to me let never fail; O'er justice let Thy grace prevail. 5 In mercy, Father, let Thy grace Through Jesus' blood my sins efface; Then I, the poor lost child, will be From all my sins forever free. 6 Grant that, according to Thy Word, I lead a godly life, O Lord, And let me, after time is o'er, Inherit life forevermore.

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #426 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I do not wish the sinner's death. But that he turn from error's ways, Repent and live through endless days. 2 Hence Christ, His foll'wers gave command: Go forth and preach in every land; Pardon to every soul extend That mourns, believes, and will amend. 3 Whose sins soever ye remit, I truly pardon and acquit; Whose sins soever ye retain, Condemned and guilty shall remain. 4 What ye shall bind, that bound shall be; What ye shall loose, that shall be free; Too all alike the keys are given To ope and close the gates of heaven. 5 They who believe, when ye proclaim The joyful tidings in my name, That I for them my blood have shed, Are free from guilt and judgment dread. 6 The words which absolution give Are His who died that we might live; The minister whom Christ has sent Is but His humble instrument. 7 However great our sin may be, The absolution sets us free, Appointed by God's own dear Son To bring the pardon He has won. 8 When ministers lay on their hands, Absolved by Christ the sinner stands; He who by grace the Word believes The purchase of His blood receives. 9 This is the power of holy keys, It binds and doth again release; The Church retains them at her side, Our mother and Christ's holy bride. 10 Let those who stings of conscience bear, Whom sin would drive to dark despair, To Jesus come with trustful mind And peace in absolution find. 11 All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee For absolution full and free, In which Thou showest forth Thy grace; From false indulgence guard our race. 12 Praise God, the Father and the Son And Holy Spirit, Three in One, As 'twas, is now, and so shall be, World without end, eternally!

Draw nigh and take the body of the Lord

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #427 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Draw nigh and take the body of your Lord, And drink the holy blood for you out-poured. Offered was He for greatest and for least, Himself the victim and Himself the priest. 2 He that in this world rules His saints, and shields, To all believers life eternal yields; With heavenly bread makes them that hunger whole, Gives living waters to the thirsting soul. 3 Approach ye then with faithful hearts sincere, And take the pledges of salvation here. O Judge of all, our only Savior Thou, In this Thy feast of love be with us now. Topics: Catechism Languages: English

O Jesus, bruised and wounded more

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #428 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, bruised and wounded more Than bursted grape, or bread of wheat, The Life of life within our souls, The Cup of our salvation sweet! 2 We come to show Thy dying hour, Thy streaming vein, Thy broken flesh; And still the blood is warm to save. And still the fragrant wounds are fresh. 3 O Heart! that with a double tide Of blood and water maketh pure, O Flesh! once offered on the cross, The gift that makes our pardon sure; 4 Let never more our sinful souls The anguish of Thy cross renew; Nor forge again the cruel nails That pierced Thy victim body through. 5 Come, Bread of heaven, to feed our souls. And with Thee, Jesus enter in! Come, Wine of God! and as we drink, His precious blood wash out our sin! Topics: Catechism Languages: English

My God, and is Thy table spread

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #429 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My God, and is Thy table spread? And does Thy cup with love o'erflow? Thither be all Thy children led, And let them all its sweetness know. 2 Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of His flesh and blood! Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food! 3 Why are its blessings all in vain Before unwilling hearts displayed? Was not for us the Victim slain? Are we forbid the children's bread? 4 O let Thy table honored be, And furnished well with joyful guests; And may each soul salvation see, That here its sacred pledges tastes.

Thy table I approach

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #430 (1918) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy table I approach, Dear Savior, hear my prayer, O let no unrepented sin Prove hurtful to me there. 2 Lo, I confess my sins, And mourn their wretched bands; A contrite heart is ever wont To find grace at Thy hands. 3 Thy body and Thy blood, Once slain and shed for me, Are taken at Thy table here-- A wondrous mystery! 4 Here I with mouth and soul, Incomprehensibly, Shall eat the precious flesh of Christ In blest reality. 5 Search not how this takes place, Nor whether it can be; God can accomplish vastly more Than seemeth plain to thee. 6 Vouchsafe, O blessed Lord, That earth and hell combined, May ne'er about this Sacrament A doubt raise in my mind. 7 And may I never fail To thank Thee day and night For Thy true body and true blood, O God, my Peace and Light!
