O Jesus, Thou art Standing

Author: William W. How Hymnal: Concordia #112 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er: Shame on us, Christian brothers, His name and sign we bear; O shame, thrice shame upon us, To keep Him standing there! 2 O Jesus, Thou art knocking; And lo, that hand is scarred, And thorns thy brow encircle, And tears Thy face have marred; O love that passeth knowledge, So patiently to wait! O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, My children, And will ye treat Me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door; Dear Savior, enter, enter, And leave us never more. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HILDA

As after the Waterbrooks Panteth

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Hymnal: Concordia #115 (1918) Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 As after the waterbrooks panteth The hart, when it sinks in the chase, So thirsteth my soul, as it fainteth, For Thee, O my God, and Thy grace; For Thou art the fount ever living, Who unto the thirsty art giving The water of life that I need. 2 Why art thou disquiet within me? Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Confide in thy God, let Him win thee! Still hope in thy God, Him extol! For surely once dawneth a morrow, When, freed from thy care and thy sorrow, Thou praises shalt sing to thy God. 3 His light and His truth, they shall lead me In peace to His temple at last; I rest on His Word, He will speed me, And conflict and sorrow are past; Yea, joyful I anthems will raise Him, With heart and with voice will I praise Him-- My health and my life and my God.

I came to Jesus as I was, Weary and worn and sad, I found in Him a resting place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water: thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's Light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright."

Author: P. C. Paulsen Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #172 (1927) Topics: Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Blest is he who cries to heaven In the dark and evil day, Whose transgressions are forgiven And whose sins are wash'd away; Blest, when God to him imputeth Not iniquity nor sin, When no hidden guile polluteth Spirit, heart, and soul within. 2 Long I kept in silence groaning, While my bones wax'd weak and old; Long my heart with grief was moaning And to Thee, O God was cold. Day and night Thy hand oppress'd me, Moisture turn'd to summer-drought, My transgressions sore distress'd me, While in vain I comfort sought. 3 When from Thee no longer hiding I confess'd my sin to Thee, And, to Thee my grief confiding, Thou in love forgavest me. Now my heart is fill'd with gladness, Thou surroundest me with grace; Songs of joy dispel my sadness, For Thou art my hiding-place. 4 Lord, instruct and teach me ever In the way that I shall go; With Thy counsel me deliver From the cunning of the foe. For Thy grace and mercy tender, For Thy Table and Thy Word, Thanks to heaven I will render And forever praise Thee, Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: [Blest is he who cries to heaven]

The Abyss Of Many A Former Sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #178 (1927) Topics: Call and Repentance First Line: Th'abyss of many a former sin Lyrics: 1 Th'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 Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and mis'ry brought, The slave to many a fruitless tho't; I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possess'd Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my pray'r 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 pray'r; Oh, 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!
