Alas, my God! My Sins are Great

Author: Martin Rutelius, 1550-1618 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #249a (1901) Tune Title: ACH GOTT UND HERR Lyrics: 1 Alas, my God! my sins are great, My conscience doth upbraid me; And now I find that in 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 pleaseth Thee, Thy grace will help me bear it, If but at last I see Thy rest, And with my Saviour share it. 7 The Father, Son, upon one throne, And Holy Ghost together, Receive my prayer, and let me share Thy grace and truth forever.

Abide with us, O Saviour Dear

To Thee we pray, From us God's wrath Thou turn'st away, Thine agony and bitter death Redeem us from eternal wrath. 2 That we may never this forget Thy body for our food is set; And in the wine Thou giv'st Thy blood To cleanse our souls, a sacred flood. 3 Then praise the Father, by whose love The Son descended from above, Became the Bread of Life to thee, And bore thy sins upon the tree. 4 Firmly on this thou must believe; That here the sick their food receive, Which heals them from the wounds of sin, Creating heavenly health within. 5 Our Saviour saith: Come unto Me, Ye who now feel your poverty: My mercy I will freely give, Your anguished conscience I'll relieve. 6 If in thy heart this faith doth rest, Which thou hast here in words confessed, A welcome guest thou here shalt be, And Christ Himself shall banquet thee. 7 But fruits must still thy faith approve, Thy neighbor thou must truly love; That love let him from thee receive, Which here to thee thy God doth give.

With God and His Mercy

By His Spirit and Word, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, The heart He refreshes, our Saviour and Lord. 6 Though Satan may sift me, and sinning brings death, Yet will I hold fast, till my last dying breath, The glorious truth of the consecrate Son, Who died for the many, Who died for the many, And suffering death, our atonement has won. 7 I know that in spite of transgression and sin God's heart bears for sinners but mercy within, For Christ for mankind has full righteousness won, The One for the many, The One for the many, The One for the world standing righteous alone. 8 Yea, this is the ground for my comfort and joy, In moments when doubt seeks my faith to destroy; Whenever my body and soul be oppressed I flee to thy presence, I flee to Thy presence, And find in Thy presence protection and rest. 9 O Shepherd, abide with us, care for us still, And feed us and lead us and teach us Thy will And when in Thy heavenly fold we shall be, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises, Our thanks and our praises we'll render to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Languages: English

His Word lights the way to the heavenly goal, His Spirit is near us, His Spirit is near us, To rouse us, and teach us, and comfort our soul! 2 Lord Jesus, our Saviour, Thy Spirit us give To quicken, and strengthen, and cause us to live; Grant faith and give love, and in mercy bestow Whatever is needed, Whatever is needed, To exercise faith in our hearts here below. 3 Our hearts are so cold, yea, as hard as a stone; Such are they by nature, and Thou art alone, On earth and in heaven, the Saviour who can, A new heart creating, A new heart creating, A new heart creating, make each a new man. 4 From sorrows of earth wilt Thou now turn our mind, For days that are coming, oh, help us to find Our joy and our comfort in what Thou hast wrought; For we are Thy people, For we are Thy people, With death, wounds, and anguish so preciously bought. 5 Lord, therefore, remember in mercy and love Thy people, and grant us Thy help from above; Thy law cause to wake us, Thy grace give us cheer, And lead us Thy Spirit, And lead us Thy Spirit, So that we may know that Thy presence is near. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

To honor and adore Thee, I bring my praise before Thee, I bring my praise before Thee, I bring my praise before Thee, Through Christ, Thine only Son. 2 For Thou from me hast warded All perils of the night; From every harm hast guarded My soul till morning light. Humbly to Thee I cry: O Saviour, have compassion, And pardon my transgression; And pardon my transgression; And pardon my transgression; Have mercy, Lord most high! 3 And shield me from all evil, O gracious God, this day, From sin, and from the Devil, From shame and from dismay, From fire's consuming breath, From water's devastation, From need and consternation, From need and consternation, From need and consternation, From evil, sudden death. 4 God shall do my advising, Whose might with wisdom blends; May He bless rest and rising, My efforts, means and ends! To God, forever blessed, Will I with mine confide me, And suffer Him to guide me And suffer Him to guide me And suffer Him to guide me As seemeth to Him best. 5 Amen! I say, not fearing That God rejects my prayer; I doubt not He is hearing And granting me His care. So I put forth my hands, And look not long behind me, But ply the task assigned me But ply the task assigned me But ply the task assigned me By God, as He commands. Amen.
