O Lord, How Vile Am I

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12035 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how vile am I, Unholy, and unclean! How can I dare to venture nigh With such a load of sin? 2 Is this polluted heart A dwelling fit for Thee? Swarming, alas! in every part What evils do I see! 3 If I attempt to pray, And lisp Thy holy name, My thoughts are hurried soon away; I know not where I am. 4 If in Thy word I look, Such darkness fills my mind, I only read a sealèd book, But no relief can find. 5 Thy Gospel oft I hear, But hear it still in vain; Without desire, or love, or fear, I like a stone remain. 6 Myself can hardly bear This wretched heart of mine; How hateful then must it appear To those pure eyes of Thine? 7 And must I then indeed Sink in despair and die? Fain would I hope that Thou didst bleed For such a wretch as I. 8 That blood which Thou hast spilt, That grace which is Thine own; Can cleanse the vilest sinner’s guilt, And soften hearts of stone. 9 Low at Thy feet I bow, Oh pity and forgive; Here will I lie and wait, till Thou Shalt bid me rise and live.

Psalm 92

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #38 (1884) First Line: Sweet is the work, O Lord Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, O Lord, Thy glorious name to sing; To praise and pray--to hear thy word, And grateful offerings bring. 2 Sweet-at the dawning light, Thy boundless love to tell; And when approach the shades of night, Still on the theme to dwell. 3 Sweet--on this day of rest, To join in heart and voice, With those who love and serve thee best, And in thy name rejoice. 4 To songs of praise and joy Be every Sabbath given, That such may be our blest employ Eternally in heaven.
