Psalm 51 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 First Line: O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry Lyrics:
O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their mem'ry from thy book.
Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin:
Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide thy presence from my heart.
I cannot live without thy light
Cast out and banished from thy sight:
Thine holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me that I fall no more.
Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord,
His help and comfort still afford;
And let a wretch come near thy throne,
To plead the merits of thy Son.
A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.
My soul lies humbled in the dust,
And owns thy dreadful sentence just:
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemned to die.
Then will I teach the world thy ways;
Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Savior's blood,
And they shall praise a pard'ning God.
O may thy love inspire my tongue!
Salvation shall be all my song;
And all my powers shall join to bless
The Lord, my strength and righteousness.

Psalm 51 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 785 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 First Line: Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive Lyrics:
Show pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive,
Let a repenting rebel live:
Are not thy mercies large and free?
May not a sinner trust in thee?
My crimes are great, but not surpass
The power and glory of thy grace:
Great God, thy nature hath no bound,
So let thy pard'ning love be found.
O wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offences pain my eyes.
My lips with shame my sins confess
Against thy law, against thy grace:
Lord, should thy judgment grow severe,
I am condemned, but thou art clear.
Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,
I must pronounce thee just in death;
And if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord,
Whose hope, still hov'ring round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair.

on your grace I rest my plea.
My transgressions I confess;
grief and guilt my soul oppress.
Wash me, make me pure within;

make my spirit right and true.
Do not cast me from your sight

Sinful ways I will reprove,
and my tongue shall sing your love.
Let my righteous sacrifice
then delight your holy eyes.

God, Be Merciful to Me
Psalm 51 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 First Line: Lord, I am vile, conceived in sin Lyrics:
Lord, I am vile, conceived in sin;
And born unholy and unclean;
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts the race, and taints us all.
Soon as we draw our infant breath,
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart,
But we're defiled in every part.
[Great God, create my heart anew,
And form my spirit pure and true;
O make me wise betimes to spy
My danger and my remedy.]
Behold, I fall before thy face;
My only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make me clean
The leprosy lies deep within.
No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
Jesus, my God, thy blood alone
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make me white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse me so.
While guilt disturbs and breaks my peace,
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease;
Lord, let me hear thy pard'ning voice,
And make my broken bones rejoice.

Have mercy upon me, O God
Appears in 69 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Have mercy upon me, O God: according to Thy lovingkindness.
2 According unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies: blot out my transgressions.
3 Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity: and cleanse me from my sin.
4 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me.
5 Against thee, Thee only, have I sinned: and done this evil in Thy sight.
6 That Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest: and be clear when Thou judgest.
7 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity: and in sin did my mother conceive me.
8 Behold Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
9 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
10 Make me to hear joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
11 Hide Thy face from my sins: and blot out all mine iniquities.
12 Create in me a clean heart O God: and renew a right spirit within me.
13 Cast me not away from Thy presence: and take not Thy Holy Spirit from me.
14 Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation: and uphold me with Thy free Spirit.
15 Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways: and sinners shall be converted unto Thee.
16 O Lord, open thou my lips: and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
17 For Thou desirest not sacrifice else would I give it: Thou delightest not in burnt offerings.
18 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart O God, Thou wilt, not despise.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end AMEN.

Psalm 51: After thy loving-kindness, Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 First Line: After thy loving-kindness, Lord Lyrics:
1After thy loving-kindness, Lord,
have mercy upon me:
For thy compassions great, blot out
all mine iniquity.
2Me cleanse from sin, and throughly wash
from mine iniquity:
3For my transgressions I confess;
my sin I ever see.
4’Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn’d,
in thy sight done this ill;
That when thou speak’st thou may’st be just,
and clear in judging still.
5Behold, I in iniquity
was form’d the womb within;
My mother also me conceiv’d
in guiltiness and sin.
6Behold, thou in the inward parts
with truth delighted art;
And wisdom thou shalt make me know
within the hidden part.
7Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me,
I shall be cleansed so;
Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall
be whiter than the snow.
8Of gladness and of joyfulness
make me to hear the voice;
That so these very bones which thou
hast broken may rejoice.
9All mine iniquities blot out,
thy face hide from my sin.
10Create a clean heart, Lord, renew
a right sp’rit me within.
11Cast me not from thy sight, nor take
thy Holy Sp’rit away.
12Restore me thy salvation’s joy;
with thy free Sp’rit me stay.
13Then will I teach thy ways unto
those that transgressors be;
And those that sinners are shall then
be turned unto thee.
14O God, of my salvation God,
me from blood-guiltiness
Set free; then shall my tongue aloud
sing of thy righteousness.
15My closed lips, O Lord, by thee
let them be opened;
Then shall thy praises by my mouth
abroad be published.
16For thou desir’st not sacrifice,
else would I give it thee;
Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering
at all delighted be.
17A broken spirit is to God
a pleasing sacrifice:
A broken and a contrite heart,
Lord, thou wilt not despise.
18Shew kindness, and do good, O Lord,
to Sion, thine own hill:
The walls of thy Jerusalem
build up of thy good will.
19Then righteous off ‘rings shall thee please,
and off ‘rings burnt, which they
With whole burnt-off ‘rings, and with calves,
shall on thine altar lay.

Psalm 51 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51:3-13 First Line: Lord, I would spread my sore distress Lyrics:
Lord, I would spread my sore distress
And guilt before thine eyes;
Against thy laws, against thy grace,
How high my crimes arise!
Shouldst thou condemn my soul to hell,
And crush my flesh to dust,
Heav'n would approve thy vengeance well,
And earth must own it just.
I from the stock of Adam came,
Unholy and unclean;
All my original is shame,
And all my nature sin.
Born in a world of guilt, I drew
Contagion with my breath;
And as my days advanced, I grew
A juster prey for death.
Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul
With thy forgiving love;
O make my broken spirit whole,
And bid my pains remove.
Let not thy Spirit quite depart,
Nor drive me from thy face;
Create anew my vicious heart,
And fill it with thy grace.
Then will I make thy mercy known
Before the sons of men;
Backsliders shall address thy throne,
And turn to God again.

Psalm 51 Part 1
Have Mercy, Lord, on me
Appears in 122 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: 1 Have Mercy, Lord, on me,
as Thou wert ever kind;
Let me, oppress'd with Loads of guilt,
thy wonted Mercy find.
2,3 Wash off my foul Offence,
and cleanse me from my Sin;
For I confess my Crime, and see
how great my Guilt has been.
4 Against Thee, Lord, alone,
and only in thy Sight,
Have I transgress'd; and tho' condemn'd
must own thy Judgment right.
5 In Guilt each Part was form'd
of all this sinful Frame;
In Guilt I was conceiv'd, and born
the Heir of Sin and Shame.
6 Yet Thou, whose searching Eye
does inward Truth require,
In secret didst with Wisdom's Laws
my tender Soul inspire.
7 With Hyssop purge me, Lord;
and so I clean shall be:
I shall with Snow in whiteness vie,
when purify'd by Thee.
8 Make me to hear with Joy
thy kind forgiving Voice;
That so the Bones which Thou hast broke,
may with fresh Strength rejoice.
9,10 Blot out my crying Sins,
nor me in Anger view;
Create in me a Heart that's clean,
an upright Mind renew.
Part II
11 Withdraw not Thou thy Help,
nor cast me from thy Sight;
Nor let thy Holy Spirit take
its everlasting flight.
12 The Joy thy Favour gives,
let me again obtain
And thy free Spirit's firm Support
My fainting Soul sustain.
13 So I thy righteous Ways
to Sinners will impart;
Whilst my Advice shall wicked Men
to thy just Laws convert.
14 My Guilt of Blood remove,
my Saviour, and my God;
And my glad Tongue shall loudly tell
thy righteous Acts abroad.
15 Do Thou unlock my Lips,
with Sorrow clos'd, and Shame;
So shall my Mouth thy wond'rous Praise
to all the World proclaim.
16 Could Sacrifice atone,
whole Flocks and Herds should die;
But on such Off'rings Thou disdain'st
to cast a gracious eye.
17 A broken Spirit is
by God most highly priz'd;
By Him a broken contrite Heart
shall never be despis'd.
18 Let Sion, Favour find,
of thy Good-will assur'd;
And thy own city flourish long,
by lofty Walls secur'd.
19 The Just shall then attend,
and pleasing Tribute pay;
And Sacrifice of choicest Kind
upon thy Altar lay.

let the water and the blood,

be of sin the double cure,
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
stained by sin, to thee I fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.

when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through realms unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Devotion; Death and Bereavement; God in grace and mercy; God names and imags of Used With Tune: PETRA (REDHEAD No. 76)

Where Jesus reigns alone:

Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him who dwells within:

A heart whose love endures;
So perfect, right, and pure, and good,
A copy, Lord, of yours.

Come quickly from above,
Write your new name upon my heart,
Your new, best name of love. Topics: Ordinary Time 8, Year C; Ordinary Time 22, Year B; Lenten Season; Sacred Heart; Confirmation; Penance; Humility; Jesus Christ; Joy; Love for God; Love for Others; Peace; Petition; Reconciliation; Repentance Used With Tune: O FOR A HEART

Father, I will seek Your face;
Though Your child I dare not call me,
Yet receive me in Your grace.
Do not for my sins forsake me;
Let Your wrath not overtake me.

Giv'n Himself to rescue me,
Died to save me and restore me,
Reconciled and set me free.
Jesus' cross alone can vanquish
These dark fears and soothe this anguish.
4 Lord, on You I cast my burden--
Sink it in the deepest sea!
Let me know Your gracious pardon,
Cleanse me from iniquity.
Let Your Spirit leave me never;
Make me only Yours forever.
