O God of Mercies, Father Mine

Author: Anna B. D. Hoppe Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of mercies, Father mine, Drawn by Thy boundless love divine, I come to Thee, a wayward child, Bowed down by guilt, with sin defiled. Relieve my burdened heart, I pray, Dear Father, cast me not away. In deep contrition I implore, Remember Thou my sin no more. Have mercy, Lord! Have mercy, Lord! 2 My blest Redeemer, Thy dear Son, On Calvary my ransom won. The Friend of sinners died for me, To reconcile me unto Thee. The curse of Law for me He bore. For His dear sake, My God, restore Salvation's holy joy to me. Hark to a contrite sinner's plea: Forgive me, Lord! Forgive me, Lord! 3 Thy Holy Spirit, through Thy word, Assures me of Thy grace, dear Lord. My risen High Priest intercedes, His holy blood for pardon pleads. Wash Thou me in that crimson flow, And I shall be as white as snow. Remove my sin-stained carnal dress, Grant me Christ's robe of righteousness. O cleanse me, Lord! O cleanse me, Lord! 4 Thy loving-kindness I shall praise, O gracious Lord, through all my days. Grant Thou me grace, while here I live, In true compassion to forgive, And unto erring brethren show The love Thou didst on me bestow Till, glorified by grace, my God, In realms on high Thy Name I laud Forevermore! Forevermore~ Amen.

Within the Father's House

Author: James R. Woodford Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Within the Father's house The Son hath found His home; And to His temple suddenly The Lord of Life hath come. 2 Men wise in Sacred Writ Gaze on the wondrous Child, And marvel at His gracious words Of wisdom undefiled. 3 Yet not to them is given The mighty truth to know, To lift the earthly veil which hides Incarnate God below. 4 The secret of the Lord Escapes each human eye, And faithful pondering hearts await The full Epiphany. 5 Lord, visit Thou our souls, And teach us by Thy grace Each dim revealing of Thyself With loving awe to trace; 6 Till from our darkened sight The cloud shall pass away, And on the cleansèd soul shall burst The everlasting day; 7 Till we behold Thy face And know, as we are known, Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Co-equal Three in One. Amen.

With glorious beams unclouded, Thy all-transcendent light Dispels the gloom that shrouded Earth’s dark and dismal night. 3 Arise and shine in splendor, Thou bright and morning Star! The Gentiles come to render Their gifts from realms afar. The word by prophets spoken In truth is now fulfilled, And yearning hearts, once broken, With sweetest hope are filled. 4 Arise and bring salvation To all who dwell below, Let earth in jubilation Reflect Thy radiant glow. O long expected Saviour, Thou Hope of Israel, Let Gentiles gain Thy favor, And of Thy glory tell. 5 Our Life and Resurrection, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou art; O shed Thy light’s reflection To earth’s remotest part; Let Gentile tongues confess Thee, Rejoicing in Thy light, The ransomed thousands bless Thee, Thou hast dispelled the night.

In the Hour of Trial
