When O'er My Sins I Sorrow
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Justus Gesenius Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.7.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When o'er my sins I sorrow,
Lord, I will look to Thee
And hence my comfort borrow
That Thou wast slain for me;
Yea, Lord, Thy precious blood was spilt
For me, O most unworthy,
To take away my guilt.
2 Oh, what a marv'lous off'ring!
Behold, the Master spares
His servants, and their suff'ring
And grief for them He bears.
God stoopeth from His throne on high;
For me, His guilty creature,
He deigns as Man to die.
3 My manifold transgression
Henceforth can harm me none
Since Jesus' bloody Passion
For me God's grace hath won.
His precious blood my debts hath paid;
Of hell and all its torments
I am no more afraid.
4 Therefore I will forever
Give glory unto Thee,
O Jesus, loving Savior,
For what Thou didst for me.
I'll spend my breath in songs of thanks
For Thy sad cry, Thy suff'rings,
Thy wrongs, Thy guiltless death.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Scripture: Hebrews 10:14 Used With Tune: WENN MEINE SÜND' Text Sources: Tr. composite, sts. 2-4
When O'er My Sins I Sorrow
O Lord, When My Sins Grieve Me
Author: Justus Gesenius; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord, when my sins grieve me,
Then let my faith again
With thoughts of Thee relieve me,
And of Thy dying pain.
Upon the holy cross’ wood
My weight of sin sustaining,
The Lord my surety stood.
2 O wonder without measure
In faith’s enlightened eye!
For servants ’twas the pleasure
Of Christ their Lord to die!
The true—the sovereign Lord of Heaven
For me His ruined creature
Himself to death hath given.
3 Therefore shall my glad spirit
Now and through all my days,
For all Thy suffering merit,
O Jesu! bring Thee praise,
Lord, for Thy death so sinless,
Thy love and truth most high!
4 Lord, may Thy cross attend me
Through all my mortal day,
And from all thoughts defend me
That lead the heart astray;
That it may ne’er forgotten be,
How great the price Thou gavest,
O Lord, to set me free! Used With Tune: WENN MEINE SÜND Text Sources: Hanover Gesang Buch, 1646; Tr.: Psalms and Hymns (Cambridge, England: John Deigthon, 1851)
