With Broken Heart and Contrite Sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:13 Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry. Thy pard'ning grace is rich and free-- O God, be merciful to me! 2 I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscious guilt opprest; Christ and His Cross my only plea-- O God, be merciful to me! 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But Thou dost all my anguish see-- O God, be merciful to me! 4 Nor alms nor deeds that I have done Can for a single sin atone. To Calvary alone I flee-- O God, be merciful to me! 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be: God has been merciful to me. Amen.

Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:13 Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me; on your grace I rest my plea. My transgressions I confess; grief and guilt my soul oppress. Wash me, make me pure within; cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 I have sinned against your grace and provoked you to your face. I confess your judgment just; speechless, I your mercy trust. Let my contrite heart rejoice and in gladness hear your voice. 3 Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true. Do not cast me from your sight nor remove your Spirit's light. Your salvation's joy restore, make me steadfast evermore. 4 Contrite spirit, pleading cries, you, O God, will not despise. Sinful ways I will reprove, and my tongue shall sing your love. Let my righteous sacrifice then delight your holy eyes.

The Pharisee and the Publican

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Luke 18:10-14 First Line: Behold how sinners disagree Lyrics: 1 Behold how sinners disagree, The Publican and Pharisee! One doth his righteousness proclaim, The other owns his guilt and shame. 2 This man at humble distance stands, And cries for grace with lifted hands; That boldly rises near the throne, And talks of duties he has done. 3 The Lord their diff'rent language knows, And diff'rent answers he bestows; The humble soul with grace he crowns, Whilst on the proud his anger frowns. 4 Dear Father! let me never be Joined with the boasting pharisee; I have no merits of my own, But plead the suff'rings of thy Son.
