With broken heart and contrite sigh

Author: Cornelius Elven Hymnal: The Hymnal #133 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: With broken heart and contrite sigh, A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry: Thy pardoning grace is rich and free: O God, be merciful to me. I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscious guilt oppressed; Christ and his cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me. 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. 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. 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. Languages: English Tune Title: EISENACH

Lord, Who throughout these forty days

Author: Claudia F. Hernaman Hymnal: The Hymnal #134 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Lord, who throughout these forty days, For us didst fast and pray, Teach us with thee to mourn our sins, And close by thee to stay. As thou with Satan didst contend, And didst the victory win, O give us strength in thee to fight, In thee to conquer sin. As thou didst hunger bear and thirst, So teach us, gracious Lord, To die to self, and chiefly live By thy most holy word. And through these days of penitence, And through thy Passion-tide, Yea, evermore, in life and death, Jesus! with us abide. Abide with us, that so, this life Of suffering overpast, An Easter of unending joy We may attain at last! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FLAVIAN

Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Joseph Grigg Hymnal: The Hymnal #135 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee? Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let night disown each radiant star; Tis midnight with my soul, till he, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. Ashamed of Jesus! O as soon Let morning blush to own the sun! He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No, when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere his Name. Ashamed of Jesus! empty pride! I'll boast a Savior crucified; And O may this my portion be, My Savior not ashamed of me.

Weary of wandering from my God

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal #136 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Weary of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return, I hear and bow me to the rod, For thee, not without hope, I mourn: I have an Advocate above, A Friend before the throne of love. O Jesus, full of truth and grace, More full of grace than I of sin; Yet once again I seek thy face: Open thine arms and take me in; And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still. Thou know'st the way to bring me back, My fallen spirit to restore; O for thy truth and mercy's sake, Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a house of prayer. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FINBAR

When wounded sore the stricken soul

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: The Hymnal #138 (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: When wounded sore the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand, a piercèd hand, Can heal the sinner's wound. When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart, a broken heart, Can feel the sinner's woe. When penitence has wept in vain, Over some foul dark spot, One only stream, a stream of blood, Can wash away the blot. 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief, His heart that's touched with all our joys, And feeleth for our grief. Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord; Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin, But in thy wounded side. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. BERNARD

Just as I am, without one plea

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: The Hymnal #139a (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Just as I am, without one plea, But that thy blood was shed for me, And that thou bidd'st me come to thee, Just as I am, and waiting not To rid my soul of one dark blot, To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, Just as I am, though tossed about With many a conflict, many a doubt, Fightings and fears within, without, Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind Yea, all I need, in thee to find, Just as I am: thou wilt receive, Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve, Because thy promise I believe, Just as I am, thy love unknown Has broken every barrier down; Now to be thine, yea, thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come.

Sinful, sighing to be blest

Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Hymnal #140 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Sinful, sighing to be blest; Bound, and longing to be free; Weary, waiting for my rest: God be merciful to me. Goodness I have none to plead, Sinfulness in all I see, I can only bring my need: God be merciful to me. Broken heart and downcast eyes Dare not lift themselves to thee; Yet thou canst interpret sighs: God be merciful to me. From this sinful heart of mine To thy bosom I would flee: I am not my own but thine: God be merciful to me. There is One beside the throne, And my only hope and plea Are in him, and him alone: God be merciful to me. He my cause will undertake, My interpreter will be; He's my all; and for his sake God be merciful to me. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CLARENCE

Amen. Tune Title: TURPIN'S LITANY
