Thou great mysterious God unknown

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #293 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Thou great mysterious God unknown, Whose love hath gently led me on E'en from my infant days; Mine inmost soul expose to view, And tell me if I ever knew Thy justifying grace. 2 If I have only known thy fear, And follow'd with a heart sincere Thy drawing from above! Now, now the farther grace bestow, And let my sprinkled conscience know Thy sweet forgiving love. 3 Short of thy love I would not stop, A stranger to the gospel hope, The sense of sin forgiven; I would not, Lord, my soul deceive, Without thy inward witness live, That antepast of heaven. 4 If now the witness were in me, Would he not testify of thee, In Jesus reconcil'd? And should I not with faith draw nigh, And boldly, Abba, Father, cry, I know myself thy child? 5 Ah! never let thy servant rest, Till of my part in Christ possess'd I on thy mercy feed: Unworthy of the crumbs that fall, Yet rais'd by him who died for all, To eat the children's bread. 6 Whate'er obstructs thy pard'ning love, Or sin, or righteousness, remove, Thy glory to display; My heart of unbelief convince, And now absolve me from my sins, And take them all away.

Dear Friend of friendless sinners, hear

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #296 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Dear Friend of guilty sinners, hear, And magnify thy grace divine; Pardon a worm that would draw near, And make his heart to thee resign, A worm, by self and sin opprest, That pants to reach thy promis'd rest. 2 With holy fear and reverend love, I long to lie beneath thy throne; I long in thee to live, and move, And stay myself on thee alone: Teach me to lean upon thy breast, To find in thee the promis'd rest. 3 Thou say'st thou wilt thy servants keep In perfect peace, whose minds shall be Like new-born babes, or helpless sheep, Completely stay'd, dear Lord! on thee How calm their state, how truly blest, Who trust on thee, the promis'd rest. 4 Take me, my Saviour, as thine own, And vindicate my righteous cause; Be thou my portion, Lord, alone, And bend me to obey thy laws: In thy dear arms of love caress'd, Give me to find thy promis'd rest. 5 Bid the tempestuous rage of sin, With all its wrathful fury, die; Let the Redeemer dwell within, And turn my sorrow into joy: Oh, may my heart by thee possess'd, Know thee to be my promis'd rest. Scripture: Isaiah 26:3

Supreme High-priest, the pilgrim's light

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #300 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Supreme High-priest, the pilgrim's light, My heart for thee prepare; Thine image stamp, and deeply write Thy superscription there. 2 Ah, let my forehead bear thy seal, My arm thy badge retain, My heart the inward witness fell That I am born again. 3 Into thy humble mansion come, Set up thy dwelling here. Possess my heart, and leave no room For sin to harbour there: 4 Ah, give me, Lord, the single eye, Which aims at naught but thee: I fain would live, and yet not I-- Let Jesus live in me. 5 O that the penetrating sight And eagle's eye were mine! Undazzled at the boundless light, Of majesty divine; 6 That with the armies of the sky I too may sit and sing, Add, Saviour, to the eagle's eye, The dove's aspiring wing.

Saviour, canst thou love a traitor?

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #270 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Saviour, canst thou love a traitor? Canst thou love a child of wrath? Can a hell-deserving creature Be the purchase of thy death? 2 Is thy blood so efficacious, As to make my nature clean? Is thy sacrifice so precious, As to free my soul from sin? 3 Sin on ev'ry side surrounds me I can hear of no relief; Pangs of unbelief confound me, Help me, Lord, to bear my grief. 4 This is now my resolution, At thy dearest feet to fall; Here I'll meet my condemnation, Or a freedom from my thrall. 5 If I meet with condemnation, Justly I deserve the same; If I meet with free salvation, I will magnify thy name. Scripture: Job 13:15

Lord, at thy feet I prostrate fall

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #271 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Lord, at thy feet I prostrate fall, Opprest with fears to thee I call: Reveal thy pard'ning love to me, And set my captive spirit free. 2 Hast thou not said, "Seek ye my face;" The invitation I embrace; I'll seek thy face; thy Spirit give! O let me see thy face, and live. 3 I'll wait perhaps my Lord may come; If I turn back, hell is my doom; And begging in his way, I'll lie Till the dear Saviour passes by. 4 I'll seek his face with cries and tears, With secret sighs and fervent pray'rs; And if not heard, I'll waiting sit, And perish at my Saviour's feet. 5 But canst thou, Lord, see all my pain, And bid me seek thy face in vain? No! Jesus will not, can't deceive, The soul that seeks his face shall live. Scripture: Psalm 27:8

O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #275 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry! Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banish'd from thy sight; Thy holy joys, O God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring: The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 5 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye And save the soul condemn'd to die.

Thou hidden God, for whom I groan

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #288 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden God, for whom I groan, Till thou thyself declare: God inaccessible, unknown, Regard a sinner's prayer. 2 A sinner weltering in his blood, Unpurg'd and unforgiven; Far distant from the living God, As far as hell from heaven. 3 An unregen'rate child of man, To thee for faith I call: Pity thy fallen creature's pain, And raise me from my fall. 4 The darkness which, thro' thee, I feel, Thou only canst remove: Thine own eternal power reveal, The Deity of love. 5 I would not to thy foe submit: I hate the tyrant's chain; Send forth thy pris'ner from the pit, Nor let me cry in vain. 6 Show me the blood that bought my peace, The cov'nant blood apply! And all my griefs at once shall cease, And all my sins shall die. 7 Speak, Jesus, speak into my heart, What thou for me hast done; One grain of living faith impart, And God is all my own.

Jesus, my strength, my hope

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #289 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my strength, my hope, On thee I cast my care, With humble confidence look up, And know thou hear’st my prayer; Give me on thee to wait, Till I can all things do, On thee, Almighty to create. Almighty to renew. 2 I want a sober mind, A self-renouncing will, That tramples down, and casts behind The baits of pleasing ill. A soul inur'd to pain, To hardship, grief, and loss; Bold to take up, firm to sustain, The consecrated cross. 3 I want a godly fear, A quick-discerning eye, That looks to thee when sin is near, And bids the tempter fly; A spirit still prepar'd, And arm'd with jealous care, For ever standing on its guard, And watching unto prayer. 4 I want a heart to pray, To pray and never cease, Never to murmur at thy stay Or wish my suff'rings less. This blessing, above all, Always to pray I want, Out of the deep on thee to call, And never, never faint. 5 I want a true regard, A single, steady aim, Unmov'd by threat'ning or reward, To thee and thy great name; A jealous just concern For thine immortal praise: A pure desire that all may learn, And glorify thy grace.

Will the pardoning God despise

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #294 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Will the pardoning God despise A poor mourner's sacrifice One who brings his all to thee, All his sin and misery; 2 Saviour, see my troubled breast, Heaving, panting after rest, Jesus, mark my hollow eye, Never clos'd and never dry. 3 Listen to my plaintive moans, Deep uninterrupted groans, Keep not silence at my tears, Quiet all my griefs and fears. 4 Good physician, show thine art, Bind thou up my broken heart; Aches it not for thee, my God, Pants to feel the healing blood? 5 Jesus, answer all thy name, Save me from my fear and shame Sunk in desperate misery, Sinner's friend, remember me!

O when wilt thou my Saviour be!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #301 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 O when wilt thou my Saviour be! O when shall I be clean! The true eternal Sabbath see, A perfect rest from sin! 2 Jesus! the sinner's rest thou art, From guilt, and fear, and pain; While thou art absent from my heart, I look for rest in vain! 3 The consolations of thy word My soul have long upheld; The faithful promise of the Lord Shall surely be fulfill'd: 4 Joining thy sheep in yonder fold, Like them I shall rejoice; Like them thy glory shall behold And hear my shepherd's voice. 5 O that I now the voice might hear, That speaks my sins forgiven; Thy word is past to give me here The inward pledge of heaven.

Oh that the Lord would hear my cry

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #302 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Oh that the Lord would hear my cry, And stay his anger lest I die! Thy wrath is just--yet, oh, forgive! And let a mourning sinner live. 2 In all my frame, without, within, I feel the sad effects of sin; How long, my God, must I complain, And deprecate thy wrath in vain? 3 Oh, should I die depriv'd of thee? What being else can succour me? Thy frowns would rend my soul in death, And sink it to the depths beneath. 4 Ye darling sins, that plague me so, The greatest enemies I know, Depart--for God hath heard my pray'r, And will not let me long despair. 5 No;--I shall yet his goodness bless; And when this transient life shall pass, Then, full of glory, I shall prove He can be just, and sinners love. Scripture: Psalm 6

To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #285 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 To thee, O God! my pray'r ascends, But not for golden stores; Nor covet I the brightest gems On the rich eastern shores: 2 Nor that deluding empty joy Men call a mighty name, Nor greatness with its pride and state, My restless thoughts inflame:-- 3 Nor pleasure's fascinating charms My fond desires allure: But nobler things than these, from thee, My wishes would secure. 4 The faith and hope of joys to come My best affections move; Thy light, thy favour, and thy smiles, Thine everlasting love. 5 These are the blessings I desire: Lord, be these blessings mine! And all the glories of the world I cheerfully resign.
