Before thy cross lamenting

Author: Anon. Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Before thy cross lamenting, My Saviour, I would lie, Of all my sins repenting, That caused my Lord to die.

Father, I stretch my hands to thee

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 540 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Father, I stretch my hands to thee-- No other help I know: If thou withdraw thyself from me, Ah! whither shall I go? 2 What did thine only Son endure, Before I drew my breath! What pain, what labor, to secure My soul from endless death! 3 O Jesus, could I this believe, I now should feel thy power, Now, my poor soul thou wouldst retrieve, Nor let me wait one hour. 4 Author of faith! to thee I lift My weary, longing eyes: Oh, let me now receive that gift-- My soul without it dies. Scripture: Job 11:13

Jehovah's image brightly shone

Author: W. Garner Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Creation and Fall of Man Lyrics: 1 Jehovah's image brightly shone In Eden's lovely pair, And oft before his gracious throne, They bowed in praise and prayer. 2 With rectitude, as with a robe, Their spotless souls were dressed, With peace abounding, and with joy, They were divinely blessed. 3 No self-reproach, no slavish dread Disturbed their peace within; No frowning storm their path o'erspread, While undefiled with sin. 4 Thus souls renewed by saving grace-- Whose sins have been forgiven, Behold the smiles of Jesus' face, And feel an inward heaven.

Turn and look upon me, Lord

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith First Line: Jesus, let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus, let thy pitying eye Call back a wandering sheep; False to thee, like Peter, I Would fain like Peter weep! Let me be by grace restored, On me be all long-suffering shown; Turn, and look upon me, Lord! And break my heart of stone. 2 Saviour, Prince, enthroned above, Repentance to impart, Give me, through thy dying love, The humble, contrite heart: Give what I have long implored, A portion of thy grief unknown; Turn, and look upon me, Lord! And break my heart of stone. 3 See me, Saviour, from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life, and happiness, and love Beam from thy gracious eye: If thy mercies now are stirred, If now I do myself bemoan, Turn, and look upon me, Lord! And break my heart of stone. Scripture: Isaiah 66:2

Master, I own thy lawful claim

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Repentance and Faith Lyrics: 1 Master, I own thy lawful claim; Thine, wholly thine I long to be; Thou seest, at last, I willing am, Where'er thou go'st, to follow thee, Myself in all things to deny, Thine, wholly thine, to live and die. 2 Whate'er my sinful flesh requires, For thee I cheerfully forego, My covetous and vain desires, My hopes of happiness below, My senses' and my passions' food, And all my thirst for creature good. 3 Pleasure and wealth and praise no more Shall lead my captive soul astray; My fond pursuits I all give o'er, Thee, only thee, resolved t' obey; My own in all things to resign, And know no other will but thine.

God of mercy! God of grace!

Author: Taylor Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 189 hymnals 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

Scripture: John 13:9

Woe to the men on earth who dwell

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Condemnation Lyrics: 1 Woe to the men on earth who dwell, Nor dread th' Almighty's frown, When God doth all his wrath reveal, And shower his judgments down. 2 Sinners, expect those heaviest showers; To meet your God, prepare! For, lo! the seventh angel pours His vial on the air. 3 Lo! from their seats the mountains leap, The mountains are not found, Transported far into the deep, And in the ocean drowned. 4 Who then shall live and face the throne, And face the Judge severe? When heaven and earth are fled and gone, Oh, where shall I appear? 5 Now, only now, against that hour We may a place provide; Beyond the grave, beyond the power Of hell our spirits hide;-- 6 Firm in the all-destroying shock, May view the final scene; For, lo, the everlasting Rock Is cleft to take us in.

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: The Christian System Atonement Lyrics: 1 In vain we seek for peace with God By methods of our own; Blest Saviour! nothing but thy blood Can bring us near the throne. 2 The threatenings of thy broken law Impress the soul with dread: If God his sword of vengeance draw, It strikes the spirit dead. 3 But thine atoning sacrifice Hath answered all demands; And peace and pardon from the skies Are offered by thy hands. 4 'Tis by thy death we live, O Lord, 'Tis on thy cross we rest: For ever be thy love adored, Thy name forever blest. Scripture: Romans 3:20
