Repentance · Hymn 148 · 8.8.8

Weary of wand’ring from my God

D. “Behold, we come to Thee, for Thou art the Lord our God.” Jer. 3:22

Tunes you can use

Holy Sepulchre

Gelobt sei Gott · O filii et filiae · Victory

And now made willing to return

I hear, and bow me to the rod

For Thee, not without hope, I mourn

I have an Advocate above

A friend before the Throne of love

O Jesus, full of truth and grace

More full of grace than I of sin

Yet once again I seek Thy face

Open Thine arms, and take me in

And freely my backsliding heal

And love the faithless sinner still

Thou know’st the way to bring me back

My fallen spirit to restore

O! for thy truth and mercy’s sake

Forgive, and bid me sin no more

The ruins of my soul repair

And make my heart a house of pray’r

Ah! Give me, Lord, the tender heart

That trembles at approach of sin

A godly fear of sin impart

Implant, and root it deep within

That I may dread Thy gracious pow’r

And never dare offend Thee more

Amen
