Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Author: Rev. Augustus M. Toplady; Rev. Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: The Hymnal #237a (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: The Life in Christ Penitence and Confession; Penitence and Confession Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress,
Helpless, look to Thee for grace;
Foul, I to the fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: TOPLADY

Guiding toward the heavenly goal:

Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried
Hymnal: The Hymnal #240 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Life in Christ Penitence and Confession; Penitence and Confession Lyrics: 1 Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried:
My voice, Lord, do Thou hear:
Unto my supplication's voice
Give an attentive ear.
2 Lord, who shall stand, if Thou, O Lord,
Shouldst mark iniquity?
But yet with Thee forgiveness is,
That feared Thou mayest be.
3 I wait for God, my soul doth wait;
My hope is in His word.
More than they that for morning watch,
My soul waits for the Lord;
4 I say, more than they that do watch
The morning light to see.
Let Israel hope in the Lord,
For with Him mercies be.
5 Redemption also plenteous
Is ever found with Him:
And from all his iniquities
He Israel shall redeem.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 130 Tune Title: SONG 67 (ST. MATTHIAS)
Lord, from the depths to Thee I cried
There is a fountain filled with blood
Author: William Cowper (1731-1800) Hymnal: The Hymnal #241 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Life in Christ Penitence and Confession; Penitence and Confession Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins;
And sinners, plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, as vile as he,
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins a way.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved, to sin no more,
Be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die,
And shall be till I die.
5 When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing Thy power to save,
I'll sing Thy power to save.
Amen. Tune Title: COWPER
There is a fountain filled with blood
Thou God of glorious majesty
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #248 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Penitence of the awakened sinner Prayer for penitence Lyrics: 1 Thou God of glorious majesty,
To thee, against myself, to thee,
A worm of earth, I cry;
An half-awaken'd child of man,
An heir of endless bliss or pain,
A sinner born to die!
2 Lo! on a narrow neck of land,
’Twixt two unbounded seas I stand,
Secure, insensible;
A point of time, a moment’s space,
Removes me to that heavenly place,
Or shuts me up in hell.
3. O God mine inmost soul convert!
And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress:
Give me to feel their solemn weight,
And tremble on the brink of fate,
And wake to righteousness.
4 Before me place in dread array,
The pomp of that tremendous day,
When thou with clouds shalt come,
To judge the nations at thy bar;
And tell me, Lord, shall I be there
To meet a joyful doom?
5 Be this my one great business here,
With serious industry and fear
Eternal bliss t'ensure:
Thine utmost counsel to fulfil,
And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.
6 Then, Saviour, then, my soul receive,
Transported from this vale to live,
And reign with thee above;
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full supreme delight,
And everlasting love.
Thou God of glorious majesty
O for that tenderness of heart
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #250 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Penitence of the awakened sinner Prayer for penitence Lyrics: 1 O for that tenderness of heart
Which bows before the Lord,
Acknowledges how just thou art,
And trembles at thy word!
2 O for those humble contrite tears
Which from repentance flow,
That consciousness of guilt, which fears
The long suspended blow!
3 Saviour, to me in pity give
The sensible distress,
The pledge thou wilt at last receive,
And bid me die in peace!
4 Wilt from the dreadful day remove
Before the evil come,
My spirit hide with saints above,
My body in the tomb. Scripture: 2 Kings 22:19
O for that tenderness of heart
