O thou that hear'st when sinners cry

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Not hide thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without thy light, Cast out and banished from thy sight; Thy holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me, that I fall no more. 4 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. 5 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. 6 Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 51 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Not what my hands have done

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 Not what my hands have done Can save my guilty soul; Not what my toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awful load. 2 Thy work alone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin; Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, Can give me peace within. Thy love to me, O God, Not mine, O Lord to thee, Can rid me of this dark unrest And set my spirit free. 3 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy pow'r alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. No other work, save thine, No other blood will do; No strength, save that which is divine, Can bear me safely through. 4 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfalt'ring lip and heart I call this Saviour mine. This cross dispels each doubt; I bury in his tomb Each thought of unbelief and fear, Each ling'ring shade of gloom. 5 I praise the God of grace; I trust his truth and might; He calls me his, I call him mine, My God, my joy, my light. 'Tis he who saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love because he loveth me, I live because he lives. Amen. Scripture: Titus 3:5 Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER

This joyful feast confirms that you are here, now and forever, as our shield and sun. 5 We have no help but yours, nor do we need another strength than yours to lean upon. It is enough, O Lord, enough indeed; our faith is in your might, your might alone. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE
