Out of the Depths I Cry to Thee
Author: Martin Luther; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I cry to Thee;
Lord, hear me, I implore Thee!
Bend down Thy gracious ear to me,
My prayer let come before Thee!
If Thou remember each misdeed,
If each should have its rightful meed,
Who may abide Thy presence?
2 Our pardon is Thy gift; Thy love
And grace alone avail us.
Our works could ne'er our guilt remove,
The strictest life would fail us.
That none may boast himself of aught,
But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought
What in him seemeth righteous.
3 And thus, my hope is in the Lord,
And not in mine own merit;
I rest upon His faithful word
To them of contrite spirit.
That He is merciful and just,--
This is my comfort and my trust,
His help I wait with patience.
4 And though it tarry till the night
And round till morning waken,
My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy might,
Nor count itself forsaken.
Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed,
Ye of the Spirit born indeed,
Wait for your God's appearing.
5 Though great our sins and sore our woes,
His grace much more aboundeth;
His helping love no limit knows,
Our utmost need it soundeth;
Our kind and faithful Shepherd He,
Who shall at last set Israel free
From all their sin and sorrow.
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Repentance Scripture: Psalm 130 Used With Tune: O JESU, NÄR JAG HÄDAN SKALL
Out of the Depths I Cry to Thee
The Little While I Linger Here
Author: Franz Mikael Franzen; Rev. Peter Magnus Lindberg Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here
Should grief and sorrow fret me?
No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear,
He never will forget me.
He gave His life His flock to save,
His Spirit and His Word He gave.
With these He's ever with us.
2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice,
I go where'er He beckons.
His own He knows, they are His choice,
Their numbers, too, He reckons.
And He will seek the straying sheep,
The feeble in His bosom keep,
And gently raise the fallen.
3 He strengthens me with living bread,
With waters sweet and gracious,
Which flow from life's great Fountain-head,
With peace and joy most precious.
Though rough and thorny is my way,
If from His path I do not stray,
I shall not be forsaken.
4 How vain the worldling's pomp and show,
How brief his joys and pleasures!
The night approaches now, and lo!
We leave all earthly treasures.
Then, what are all things here below
To Jesus' promise, "Where I go,
I will receive you also."
Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Sanctification; Second Sunday after Easter; Trinty, Fourth Sunday; Trinity, Fifteenth Sunday; Names and Office of Christ Shepherd; Faith and Trust Scripture: John 10:1-6 Used With Tune: WO GOTT DER HERR NICHT BEI UNS HÄLT
