O Bread to pilgrims given

Author: Ray Palmer; Unknown Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Bread to pilgrims given, Richer than angels eat, O Manna sent from heaven, For heav’n-born natures meet! Give us, for Thee long pining, To eat till richly filled; Till, earth’s delights resigning, Our every wish is stilled! 2 O Fountain, life-bestowing, Forth from the Saviour’s heart, A Fountain purely flowing, A Fount of Love Thou art! O let us, freely tasting, Our burning thirst assuage! Thy sweetness, never wasting, Avails from age to age. 3 Jesus, this feast receiving, We Thee unseen adore; Thy faithful Word believing, We take, and doubt no more. Give us, Thou true and loving, On earth to live in Thee; Then, death the veil removing, Thy glorious face to see! Amen. Topics: The Holy Communion Used With Tune: DIES DOMINICA

Out of the depths I cry to Thee

Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee; Lord, hear me, I implore Thee! Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, Let my prayer come before Thee! If Thou remember each misdeed, If each should have its rightful meed, Who may abide Thy presence? 2 Our pardon is Thy gift; Thy love And grace alone avail us. Our works could ne'er our guilt remove, The strictest life must fail us. That none may boast himself of aught, But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought What in him seemeth righteous. 3 And thus my hope is in the Lord, And not in mine own merit; I rest upon His faithful word To them of contrite spirit. That He is merciful and just-- This is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4 And though it tarry till the night, And round till morning waken, My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy might, Nor count itself forsaken. 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 kind and faithful Shepherd, He, Who shall at last set Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: AUS TIEFER NOTH
