Thou, by thy voice, the marble rent, The rock in sunder cleave! Thou, by thy two-edge sword, My soul and spirit part; Strike with the hammer of thy word, And break my stubborn heart. 2 Saviour, and Prince of peace, The double grace bestow, Unloose the bands of wickedness, And let the captive go; Grant me my sins to feel, And then the load remove; Wound, and pour in my wounds, to heal, The balm of pardoning love. 3 For thine own mercy's sake, The hindrance now remove, And into thy protection take The prisoner of thy love; In every trying hour Stand by my feeble soul, And screen me from my nature's power, Till thou hast made me whole. 4 This is thy will, I know, That I should holy be, Should let my sins this moment go, This moment turn to thee: Oh, might I now embrace Thine all-sufficient power, And nevermore to sin give place, And never grieve thee more.

By faith we know the worlds were made By God's almighty word; Abram, to unknown countries led, By faith obeyed the Lord. He sought a city fair and high, Built by th' eternal hands, And faith assures us, though we die, That heav'nly building stands. Scripture: Hebrews 11 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.120 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Repentance and faith in the blood of Christ First Line: O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry Lyrics: O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin: Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. I cannot live without thy light Cast out and banished from thy sight: Thine holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford; And let a wretch come near thy throne, To plead the merits of thy Son. A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. O may thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

Psalm 51 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.121 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Repentance and faith in the blood of Christ First Line: Lord, I would spread my sore distress Lyrics: Lord, I would spread my sore distress And guilt before thine eyes; Against thy laws, against thy grace, How high my crimes arise! Shouldst thou condemn my soul to hell, And crush my flesh to dust, Heav'n would approve thy vengeance well, And earth must own it just. I from the stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin. Born in a world of guilt, I drew Contagion with my breath; And as my days advanced, I grew A juster prey for death. Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With thy forgiving love; O make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove. Let not thy Spirit quite depart, Nor drive me from thy face; Create anew my vicious heart, And fill it with thy grace. Then will I make thy mercy known Before the sons of men; Backsliders shall address thy throne, And turn to God again. Scripture: Psalm 51:3-13 Languages: English

Give me the presence of thy grace, Then my rejoicing tongue Shall speak aloud thy righteousness, And make thy praise my song. No blood of goats nor heifers slain, For sin could e'er atone; The death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone. A soul oppressed with sin's desert, My God will ne'er despise; A humble groan, a broken heart, Is our best sacrifice. Scripture: Psalm 51:14-17 Languages: English

No more let sin or Satan reign Over our mortal flesh again; The various lusts we served before Shall have dominion now no more. Scripture: Romans 6:3-4 Languages: English

Thus Lydia sanctified her house, When she received the word; Thus the believing jailer gave His household to the Lord. Thus later saints, eternal King! Thine ancient truth embrace; To thee their infant offspring bring, And humbly claim the grace. Scripture: Genesis 17:7 Languages: English

God of mercy! God of grace!

Author: Taylor Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #401 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace! Hear our sad, repentant songs; Oh, restore thy suppliant race, Thou to whom our praise belongs-- 2 Deep regret for follies past, Talents wasted, time misspent; Hearts debased by worldly cares, Thankless for the blessings lent. 3 Foolish fears, and fond desires, Vain regrets, for things as vain, Lips too seldom taught to praise, Oft to murmur and complain-- 4 These, and every secret fault, Filled with grief and shame, we own; Humbled at thy feet we lie, Seeking pardon from thy throne! 5 God of mercy! God of grace! Hear our sad, repentant songs; Oh, restore thy suppliant race, Thou to whom our praise belongs. Scripture: Jeremiah 2:13

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #392 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 We have no outward righteousness, No merits or good works to plead; We only can be saved by grace; Thy grace, O Lord, is free indeed. 2 Save us by grace, through faith alone-- A faith thou must thyself impart; A faith that would by works be shown, A faith that purifies the heart; 3 A faith that doth the mountains move, A faith that shows our sins forgiven, A faith that sweetly works by love, And ascertains our claim to heaven. 4 This is the faith we humbly seek, The faith in thy all-cleansing blood; That faith which doth for sinners speak, Oh, let it speak us up to God! Scripture: Isaiah 35:10
