Weary of self, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel J. Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Weary of self, and laden with my sin, I look at heaven and long to enter in, But there no evil thing may find a home: And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." The while I fain would tread the heavenly way Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall: "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And his the blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 'Twas he who found me on the deathly wild, And he made me heir of heaven, the Father's child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me his grace of pardon, and will give. O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer That in the Father's courts my glorious May be the garment of thy righteousness. Yea, thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord; Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down. Amen.

Christian! dost thou see them

Author: St. Andrew of Crete; John Mason Neale Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 305 hymnals Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Lyrics: Christian! dost thou see them On the holy ground, How the powers of darkness Rage thy steps around? Christian! up and smite them, Counting gain but loss; In the strength that cometh By the holy cross. Christian! dost thou feel then How they work within, Striving, tempting, luring, Goading into sin? Christian! never tremble; Never be downcast; Gird thee for the battle, Watch and pray and fast. Christian! dost thou hear them, How they speak thee fair? "Always fast and vigil? Always watch and prayer?" Christian! answer boldly: "While I breathe I pray!" Peace shall follow battle, Night shall end in day. "Well I know thy trouble, O my servant true; Thou art very weary, I was weary too; But that toil shall make thee Some day all mine own, And the end of sorrow Shall be near my throne."
