The abyss of many a former sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in: Like billows my transgressions roll;-- Be Thou the Pilot of my soul! And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Saviour and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought: I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possest Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! And save me, Lord, who seek to raise, To Thy dear Love the hymn of praise! 4 With that saved thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God most high! With that lost prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:— O Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

My God, I know that I must die

Author: Benjamin Schmolk, d. 1737; Jane Borthwick Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 My God, I know that I must die: My mortal life is passing hence; On earth I neither hope nor try To find a lasting residence. Then teach me by Thy heavenly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour; How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower: Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death has many ways to come, In dark mysterious agony, On gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blessed Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, beneath what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth,, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy Love: Then comes it right and well to me, When, where, and how my death shall be.
