Come, let us to the Lord our God

Author: Dr. J. Morison, 1749-1798 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #471 (1917) Topics: Sinners Contrite; Sinners Contrite; Contrition; Heart Contrite Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God With contrite hearts return; Our God is gracious, nor will leave The desolate to mourn. 2 His voice commands the tempest forth, And stills the stormy wave; His arm, though it be strong to smite, Is also strong to save. 3 Long hath the sight of sorrow reigned; The dawn shall bring us light; God shall appear, and we shall rise With gladness in His sight. 4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know, Shall know Him and rejoice; His coming like the morn shall be, Like morning songs His voice. 5 As dew upon the tender herb, Diffusing fragrance round; As showers that usher in the spring, And cheer the thirsty ground; 6 So shall His presence bless our souls, And shed a joyful light; That hallowed morn shall chase away The sorrows of the night.

God, Be Merciful to Me

Hymnal: Christian Worship #51D (2021) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Contrition Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me, on your grace I rest my plea; your compassions overflow, blot out my transgressions now; wash me, make me pure within, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against your grace and provoked you to your face; I confess your judgment just, speechless, in your mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; you desire all truth within. You alone my Savior are, teach your wisdom to my heart; make me pure, your grace bestow, wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust by your wrath and judgment just, let my contrite heart rejoice and in gladness hear your voice; from my sins, O hide your face, blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true; let me not abandoned be, let your Spirit dwell in me; your salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart. 6 Sinners then shall learn from me and to God restored shall be; Savior, all my guilt remove, and my tongue shall sing your love; touch my silent lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall praise accord. 7 No attempted sacrifice has acceptance in your eyes; broken hearts are in your sight more than sacrificial rite; contrite spirit, pleading cries, you, O God, will not despise. 8 Prosper Zion in your grace and her broken walls replace; then our righteous sacrifice shall delight your holy eyes; freewill off'rings, gladly made, on your altar shall be laid.

Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #65 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Heart contrition of Lyrics: Lord, teach us how to pray aright, With reverence and with fear; Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, We may, we must draw near. We perish if we cease from prayer; Oh! grant us power to pray; And when to meet Thee we prepare, Lord, meet us by the way. Burden'd with guilt, convinced of sin, In weakness, want, and woe, Fightings without, and fears within, Lord, whither shall we go? God of all grace, we bring to Thee A broken, contrite heart; Give, what Thine eye delights to see, Truth in the inward part. Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give; A strong, desiring confidence To hear Thy voice and live;-- Faith in the only Sacrifice That can for sin atone; To cast our loves, to fix our eyes On Christ, on Christ alone;-- Patience to watch, and wait, and weep, Though mercy long delay; Courage, our fainting souls to keep, And trust Thee though Thou slay. 70 Give these, and then Thy will be done; Thus, strenghen'd with all might, We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

Surely, with that dying word, He turns, and looks, and cries, "'Tis done!" O my bleeding, loving Lord, Thou break'st my heart of stone! Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM
