Have mercy, Lord, on me

Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, on me, As Thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppressed with loads of guilt Thy wonted mercy find. 2 Against Thee, Lord, alone, And only in Thy sight, Have I transgressed; and though condemned Must own Thy judgments right. 3 Blot out my crying sins, Nor me in anger view; Create in me a heart that's clean, An upright mind renew. 4 Withdraw not Thou Thy help, Nor cast me from Thy sight; Nor let Thy Holy Spirit take His everlasting flight. 5 The joy Thy favors give Let me again obtain, And Thy free Spirit's firm support My fainting soul sustain. Amen. Text Sources: Tate and Brady's New Version, Ed. of 1698

Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: Rev. Robert Seagrave Appears in 807 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Towards heaven, thy native place. Sun and moon and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise my soul and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So my soul, derived from God, Pants to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode, To rest is His embrace. 3 Fly me riches, fly me cares, Whist I that coast explore; Flattering world, with all thy snares, Solicit me no more. Pilgrims fix not here their home; Strangers tarry but a night; When the last dear morn is come, They'll rise to a joyful light. 4 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon our Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven. Amen.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Author: Rev. Augustus M. Toplady; Rev. Thomas Cotterill Appears in 2,925 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. Amen.

Round the Lord in glory seated

With His seraph train before Him, With His holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow: 3 "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!" Thus Thy glorious Name confessing, We adopt Thine angels' cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy," blessing, Thee, the Lord of hosts Most High. Amen.

Author: Rev. Ray Palmer Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me; Take me, save me, through Thy Son; That which Thou wouldst have me, make me, Let Thy will in me be done. Long from Thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying, Take me to Thy love, my God. 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin; At Thy feet, O Father, falling, To Thy household take me in. Freely now to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like Thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to Thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to Thy loving breast; In Thy love for ever living I must be for ever blest. Amen.
