Can sinners hope for heaven

Author: Anon. Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Can sinners hope for heaven, Who love this world so well? Or dream of future happiness, While on the road to hell? 2 Shall they hosannas sing, With an unhallowed tongue? Shall palms adorn the guilty hand Which does its neighbor wrong? 3 Can sin's deceitful way Conduct to Zion's hill? Or those expect with God to reign Who disregard his will? 4 Thy grace, O God, alone, Good hopes can e'er afford: The pardoned and the pure shall see The glory of the Lord. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

When wounded sore, the stricken soul

Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 104 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand a pierced hand Can heal the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart a broken heart Can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain Over some foul, dark spot, One only stream a stream of blood Can wash away the blot. 4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief; His heart that's touched with all our joys, And feels for all our grief. 5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord! Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin But in thy wounded side. Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS

And trust a pardoning Lord." 3 My soul obeys the almighty call, And runs to this relief; I would believe thy promise, Lord; O, help my unbelief! 4 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm, In thy kind arms I fall; Be thou my Strength and Righteousness, My Saviour and my All.

When, marshaled on the nightly plain

Author: Henry Kirke White Appears in 482 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When marshaled on the nightly plain, The glittering host bestud the sky, One star alone of all the train Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Once on the raging seas I rode; The storm was loud, the night was dark, The ocean yawned, and rudely blowed The wind that tossed my foundering bark. 3 Deep horror than my vitals froze; Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose, It was the Star of Bethlehem. 4 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger's thrall It led me to the port of peace.

Depth of mercy! Can there be

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 811 hymnals Topics: Sinners Convicted; Sinners Convicted Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 2 Whence to me this waste of love? Ask my Advocate above; See the cause in Jesus' face. Now before the throne of grace. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spread His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still! 3 Jesus, answer from above; Is not all Thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget, Suffering me to kiss Thy feet? If I rightly read Thy heart, If Thou all compassion art, Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Pardon and accept me now. Used With Tune: CULFORD
