Heal Us, Emmanuel

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 77 hymnals First Line: Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer Lyrics: 1. Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer [originally, Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are] We wait to feel Thy touch; Deep wounded souls to Thee repair, And Savior, we are such. 2. Our faith is feeble, we confess We faintly trust Thy Word; But wilt Thou pity us the less? Be that far from Thee, Lord! 3. Remember him who once applied With trembling for relief Lord, I believe, with tears he cried; O help my unbelief! 4. She, too, who touched Thee in the press And healing virtue stole, Was answered, Daughter, go in peace; Thy faith has made thee whole. 5. Concealed amid the gathering throng, She would have shunned Thy view; And if her faith was firm and strong, Had strong misgivings too. 6. Like her, with hopes and fears we come To touch Thee if we may; O send us not despairing home; Send none unhealed away. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

In Vain The Preacher Cried, "Repent"

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: In vain the preacher cried, Repent Lyrics: 1 In vain the preacher cried, "Repent; Flee from impending wrath"; Headlong the world of rebels went Along its own broad path. 2 They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, Built, planted, till the day When the flood came, and young and old Were swept at once away. 3 A few that feared the warning word Escaped the doom of sin; The ark received them, and the Lord Shut safe His servants in. 4 The tide of time that knows no turn, Like that engulfing flood, Whelms with destruction those that spurn God’s truth and Jesus’ blood. 5 But still His preachers cry, "Repent; Flee from sin’s deadly doom"; Forth from the ark this call is sent, "Come in, there yet is room." 6 Unshut the door, where Mercy stands, The perishing to save, With earnest eye, and outstretched hands, From death beyond the grave.

Author: Odo of Cluny, 878-942; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Son of the Highest, deign to cast On us a pitying eye, Thou who repentant Magdalene Didst call to joys on high. 2. Thy long lost coin is stored at length In treasure house divine, The jewel from pollution cleansed Doth now the stars outshine. 3. Jesu, the balm of every wound, The sinner’s only stay, Grant us, like Magdalene, to weep In this Thy mercy’s day. 4. Absolve us by Thy gracious Word, Fulfill us with Thy love, And guide us through the storms of life To perfect rest above. 5. All praise, all glory be to Thee, O everlasting Lord, Whose mercy doth our souls forgive, Whose bounty doth reward. Used With Tune: ST.
