Humility and contrition
The contrite heart
Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Contrition of heart First Line: The Lord will happiness divine Lyrics: 1 The Lord will happiness divine
On contrite hearts bestow;
Then tell me, gracious God, is mine
A contrite heart or no?
2 I hear, but seem to hear in vain,
Insensible as steel;
If aught is felt, 'tis only pain
To find I cannot feel.
3 I sometimes think myself inclin'd
To love thee, if I could;
But often feel another mind,
Averse to all that's good.
4 My best desires are faint and few,
I fain would strive for more;
But when I cry, "my strength renew,"
Seem weaker than before.
5 Thy saints are comforted I know
And love thy house of prayer;
I sometimes go where others go,
But find no comfort there.
6 O make this heart rejoice or ache;
Decide this doubt for me;
And, if it be not broken, break,
And heal it, if it be. Scripture: Isaiah 57:15 Languages: English
The contrite heart
With broken heart and contrite sigh
Author: Cornelius Elven Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #376 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Contrition Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh
A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry:
Thy pardoning grace is rich and free:
O God, be merciful to me!
2 I smite upon my troubled breast,
With deep and conscience guilt oppressed;
Christ and His cross my only plea:
O God, be merciful to me!
3 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done,
Can for a single sin atone;
To Calvary alone I flee:
O God, be merciful to me!
4 And when, redeemed from sin and hell,
With all the ransomed throng I dwell,
My raptured song shall ever be,
God hath been merciful to me!
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELVEN

The Penitent's Plea
Author: R. M. Offord Hymnal: Laudes Domini #288 (1888) Topics: Contrition First Line: Jesus, heed me, lost and dying Lyrics: 1 Jesus, heed me, lost and dying,
Unto thee for shelter flying,
Hear, oh, hear, my heart's sore crying:
Heed me, or I die!
2 All my sin and sorrow feeling,
Come I, as the leper, kneeling;
Come to thee for help and healing,
Heal me, or I die!
3 Naught have I to plead of merit,
Naught but curse do I inherit;
By thy gracious, quickening Spirit
Save me, or I die!
4 Not my tears of deep contrition
Can secure one sin's remission,
Helpless, hopeless my condition:
Help me, or I die!
5 Far away my dead works flinging,
Nothing owning, nothing bringing,
Only to thy mercy clinging:
Bless me, or I die!
6 By thy cross, where hope is beaming,
By its crimson fountain streaming,
Flowing for the world's redeeming:
Cleanse me, or I die!
7 So my soul shall praise thee ever,
For the love which changes never,
From which not ev'n death can sever:
Saved no more to die. Scripture: Isaiah 1:18 Languages: English Tune Title: IRENE

O Thou, whose tender mercy hears

Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand, indulgent, wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye!

A wretched wanderer mourn:
Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face?
Hast Thou not said, "Return"?
3 Absent from Thee, my Guide, my Light,
Without one cheering ray,
Through dangers, fears, and gloomy night,
How desolate my way!
4 Oh, shine on this benighted heart,
With beams of mercy shine;
And let Thy healing voice impart
A taste of joys divine.
