Thou man of griefs, remember me

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Thou man of griefs, remember me, Who never canst thyself forget Thy last, mysterious agony, Thy fainting pangs, and bloody sweat! 2 When, wrestling in the strength of prayer, Thy spirit sunk beneath its load! Thy feeble flesh afraid to bear The wrath of an almighty God! 3 Father if I may call thee so, Regard my fearful heart's desire, Remove this load of guilty wo, Nor let me in my sins expire! 4 I tremble lest the wrath divine, Which bruises now my sinful soul, Should bruise this wretched soul of mine, Long as eternal ages roll! 5 To thee, my last distress I bring! The heighten'd fear of death I find! The tyrant, brandishing his sting, Appears, and hell is close behind! 6 I deprecate that death alone, That endless banishment from thee! O save me, through thine only Son, Who trembled, wept, and bled for me! Scripture: Hebrews 5:7

Lamb of God for sinners slain

Meter: Irregular Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God for sinners slain, To thee I humbly pray: Heal me of my grief and pain, O take my sins away. From this bondage, Lord, release; No longer let me be opprest; Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! 2 Wilt thou cast a sinner out, Who humbly comes to thee! No, my God, I cannot doubt: Thy mercy is for me: Let me then obtain the grace, And be of paradise possest: Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! 3 Worldly good I do not want: Be that to others giv'n; Only for thy love I pant; My all in earth or heav'n; This the crown I fain would seize, The good wherewith I would be blest; Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! 4 This delight I fain would prove, And then resign my breath! Join the happy few whose love Was mightier than death! Let it not, my Lord, displease, That I would die to be thy guest! Jesus, master, seal my peace, And take me to thy breast! Scripture: John 14:27

Gracious Lord, incline thine ear!

Meter: Irregular Appears in 72 hymnals Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Gracious Lord, incline thine ear! My requests vouchsafe to hear; Hear my never-ceasing cry; Give me Christ, or else I die. 2 Lord deny me what thou wilt, Only ease me of my guilt: Suppliant at thy feet I lie, Give me Christ, or else I die. 3 All unholy and unclean, I am nothing else but sin; On thy mercy I rely, Give me Christ, or else I die. 4 Thou dost freely save the lost; In thy grace alone I trust: With my earnest suit comply; Give me Christ, or else I die. 5 Father, dost thou seem to frown? Let me shelter in thy Son? Jesus! to thine arms I fly; Come and save me, or I die.

O thou, whose tender mercy hears

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #299 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 O thou, whose tender mercy hears Contrition's humble sigh; Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears From sorrow's weeping eye! 2 See! low before thy throne of grace A wretched wand'rer mourn; Hast thou not bid me seek thy face? Hast thou not said, return? 3 Absent from thee, my guide, my light! Without one cheering ray; Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night, How desolate my way! 4 O shine on this benighted heart, With beams of mercy shine; And let thy healing voice impart A taste of joys divine.

With melting heart and weeping eyes

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #272 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 With melting heart and weeping eyes, My guilty soul for mercy cries; What shall I do, or whither flee, T'escape that vengeance due to me? 2 Till now, I saw no danger nigh: I liv'd at ease, nor fear'd to die; Wrapt up in self-deceit and pride, "I shall have peace at last," I cried. 3 But when, great God! thy light divine Had shone on this dark soul of mine, Then I beheld, with trembling awe, The terrors of thy holy law. 4 How dreadful, now, my guilt appears, In childhood, youth, and growing years! Before thy pure discerning eye, Lord, what a filthy wretch as I! 5 Should vengeance sill my soul pursue, Death and destruction are my due; Yet mercy can my guilt forgive, And bid a dying sinner live. 6 Does not thy sacred word proclaim Salvation free in Jesus' name? To him I look, and humbly cry, "O save a wretch condemned to die!" Scripture: Acts 9:6

Father of mercies, God of love!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #282 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Supplication for the divine mercy Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, God of love! Oh! hear a humble suppliant's cry: Bend from thy lofty seat above, Thy throne of glorious majesty: O! deign to listen to my voice, And bid this drooping heart rejoice. 2 I urge no merits of my own, For I, alas! as all that's vile: No--when I bow before thy throne, Dare to converse with God awhile, Thy name, blest Jesus, is my plea, That dearest, sweetest name to me! 3 Within this heart of mine, I feel The weight of sin's oppressive load: Oh! help! or else I sink to hell, Crush'd by thine arm, avenging God! Entomb'd within that dread abyss, And exil'd from the realms of bliss!
