Jesus, have mercy

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: LD1890 #41 (1890) First Line: Lord of mercy and of might Lyrics: 1 Lord of mercy and of might, Of mankind the life and light, Maker, Teacher, Infinite; Jesus, hear and save! 2 Strong Creator, Saviour mild, Humbled to a moral child, Captive, beaten, bound, reviled; Jesus, hear and save! 3 Throned above celestial things, Borne aloft on angels' wings, Lord of lords, and King of kings, Jesus, hear and save! 4 Soon to come to earth again, Judge of angels and of men, Hear us now, and hear us then, Jesus, hear and save!

Redeeming Love

Author: George Burder Hymnal: LD1890 #44 (1890) First Line: Sweet the time, exceeding sweet! Lyrics: 1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet! When the saints together meet, When the Saviour is the theme, When they joy to sing of him. 2 Sing we then eternal love, Such as did the Father move: He beheld the world undone, Loved the world, and gave his Son. 3 Sing the Son's amazing love; How he left the realms above, Took our nature and our place, Lived and died to save our race. 4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love; With our stubborn hearts he strove, Filled our minds with grief and fear, Brought the precious Saviour near. 5 Sweet the place, exceeding sweet, Where the saints in glory meet; Where the Saviour's still the theme, Where they see and sing of him.

I come to thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There, thy blood-bought right maintain, And, without a rival, reign. 4 While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey's end. 5 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death.

The mercy seat

Author: Hugh Stowell Hymnal: LD1890 #48 (1890) First Line: From every stormy wind that blows Lyrics: 1 From every stormy wind that blows, From every swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat; 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all besides more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a scene where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Though sundered far, by faith they meet, Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagle wings we soar, And sense and skin molest no more, And heaven comes down our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat! 5 Oh! let my hand forget her skill, My tongue be silent, cold, and still, This throbbing heart forget to beat, If I forget the mercy-seat.

"The evil hour"

Author: Michael Bruce Hymnal: LD1890 #49 (1890) First Line: Where high the heavenly temple stands Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The Guardian of mankind appears. 2 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 3 Our Father-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers, in the skies, His tears, his agonies, and cries. 4 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of Sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 5 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power, To help us in the evil hour.

"God pities"

Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: LD1890 #50 (1890) First Line: Our heavenly Father calls Lyrics: 1 Our heavenly Father calls, And Christ invites us near; With both, our friendship shall be sweet, And our communion dear. 2 God pities all our griefs: He pardons every day; Almighty to protect our souls, And wise to guide our way. 3 How large his bounties are! What various stores of good, Diffused from our Redeemer's hand, And purchased with his blood. 4 Jesus, our living Head, We bless thy faithful care; Our Advocate before the throne, And our Forerunner there. 5 Here fix, my roving heart! Here wait, my warmest love! Till the communion be complete, In nobler scenes above.
