How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Author: Mrs. Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:11-32 Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Has wandered from the Lord!
How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of his word!
2 Yet sovereign mercy calls Return;
Dear Lord, and may I come?
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
Oh, take the wanderer home.
3 And canst thou, wilt thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardoned rebel live
To speak thy wondrous love?
4 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet,
Blest Saviour, I adore;
Oh, keep me at thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more. Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith; Pardoning Love

found the sheep that went astray,
raised me up and gently led me
back into the narrow way. [Refrain]

bruised was I from many a fall,
hope was gone, and shame distressed me:
but his love has pardoned all. [Refrain]
4 Days of darkness still may meet me,
sorrow's path I oft may tread;
but his presence still is with me,
by his guiding hand I'm led. [Refrain]

rolls its waters at my feet:
then he'll bear me safely over,
where the loved ones I shall meet.

Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
Lord, it belongs not to my care
Author: Baxter Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 258 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:11-32 Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
No one into his kingdom comes,
But through his opened door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet
Thy blessed face to see;
For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be?
5 Then shall I end my sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days,
And join with all triumphant saints
Who sing Jehovah's praise.
6 My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him. Topics: Youth and Age; Casting all your Care upon Him
Lord, it belongs not to my care

Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet
Author: Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:11-32 Lyrics: 1 Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet,
A guilty rebel lies;
And upward to thy mercy-seat
Presumes to lift his eyes.
2 Let not thy justice frown me hence:
Oh, stay the vengeful storm:
Forbid it, that omnipotence
Should crush a feeble worm.
3 If tears of sorrow could suffice
To pay the debt I owe,
Tears should from both my weeping eyes
In ceaseless currents flow.
4 But no such sacrifice I plead
To expiate my guilt;
No tears, but those which thou has shed,
No blood, but thou hast spilt.
5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord,
And all my sins forgive;
Then justice will approve the word
That bids the sinner live.

Lord, Teach Us How to Pray Aright
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 222 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:20 Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright
with rev'rence and with fear;
though weak and sinful in thy sight,
we may, we must draw near.
2 We perish if we cease from prayer:
O grant us power to pray;
and when to meet thee we prepare,
Lord, meet us by the way.
3 Give deep humility, the sense
of godly sorrow give;
a strong dsiring confidence
to hear thy voice and live;
4 faith in the only sacrifice
that can for sin atone,
to cast our hopes, to fix our eyes
on Christ, and Christ alone:
5 patience to watch, and wait, and weep
though mercy long delay;
courage, our fainting souls to keep
and trust thee though thou slay:
6 give these--and then thy will be done;
thus, strengthened with all might,
we by thy Spirit and thy Son,
shall pray, and pray aright.

Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:13 Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
was strong to heal and save;
it triumphed o'er disease and death,
o'er darkness and the grave:
to thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
the palsied and the lame,
the outcasts with their grievances,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 And lo, thy touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed and frenzy calmed
owned thee, the Lord of light:
and now, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty as before,
in crowded street, by restless couch,
as by that ancient shore.
3 Be thou our great deliv'rer still,
thou Lord of life and death;
restore and quicken, soothe and bless,
with thine almighty breath:
to hands that work, and eyes that see,
give wisdom's heav'enly lore,
that whole and sick, and weak and strong,
may praise thee evermore. Topics: Healing; Year A Second Sunday Before Lent; Year C Proper 17 Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW

"Take me"
Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 145 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:18 First Line: Take me , O my Father, take me! Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me!
Take me, save me, through thy Son;
That which thou wouldst have me, make me
Let thy will in me be done.
Long from thee my footsteps straying,
Thorny proved the way I trod;
Weary come I new, and praying--
Take me to thy love, my God!
2 Fruitless years with grief recalling,
Humbly I confess my sin;
At thy feet, O Father, falling,
To thy household take me in.
Freely now to thee I proffer
This relenting heart of mine;
Freely life and soul I offer--
Gift unworthy love like thine.
3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying,
Bare our sins upon the tree;
On that sacrifice relying,
Now I look in hope to thee;
Father, take me! all forgiving,
Fold me to thy loving breast;
In thy love for ever living,
I must be for ever blest! Topics: Assess to God; Atonement Accepted Used With Tune: GAYLORD

by care and woe oppressed;
let me your loving servant be,
and taste your promised rest.
3 Lord Jesus, think on me,

through all my pain and misery
become my health and life.
4 Lord Jesus, think on me,
nor let me go astray;
through darkness and perplexity
point to the heavenly way.

that, when the trial is past,
I may your radiant glory see,
and share your joy at last.
