Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Topics: God as Good Lyrics: 1 God, be merciful to me, on your grace I rest my plea; your compassions overflow, blot out my transgressions now; wash me, make me pure within, cleanse, O cleanse me from my sin. 2 My transgressions I confess, grief and guilt my soul oppress; I have sinned against your grace and provoked you to your face; I confess your judgment just, speechless, in your mercy trust. 3 I am evil, born in sin; you desire all truth within. You alone my Savior are, teach your wisdom to my heart; make me pure, your grace bestow, wash me whiter than the snow. 4 Broken, humbled to the dust by your wrath and judgment just, let my contrite heart rejoice and in gladness hear your voice; from my sins, O hide your face, blot them out in boundless grace. 5 Gracious God, my heart renew, make my spirit right and true; let me not abandoned be, let your Spirit dwell in me; your salvation's joy impart, steadfast make my willing heart. 6 Sinners then shall learn from me and to God restored shall be; Savior, all my guilt remove, and my tongue shall sing your love; touch my silent lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall praise accord. 7 No attempted sacrifice has acceptance in your eyes; broken hearts are in your sight more than sacrificial rite; contrite spirit, pleading cries, you, O God, will not despise. 8 Prosper Zion in your grace and her broken walls replace; then our righteous sacrifice shall delight your holy eyes; freewill off'rings, gladly made, on your altar shall be laid.

His hand, in sight of all my foes, will still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows; his oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; oh, may his house be my abode and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest while others go and come, no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION

Give Thanks unto the LORD Our God

Hymnal: Christian Worship #107C (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: God as Good Lyrics: 1 Give thanks unto the LORD our God. How good and kind is he, whose tender mercy shall endure through all eternity. 2 Let God's redeemed repeat these words and give him thanks and praise who rescued them from hostile hands, preserved them all their days. 3 He gathered them from out the lands, from north, south, east, and west. They strayed in desert's pathless way, no city found to rest. 4 Their weary soul within them faints when thirst and hunger press; in trouble then they cried to God; he saved them from distress. 5 He made the way before them straight, and he became their guide, that they might to a city go and there in peace abide. 6 Let all the children of the LORD now praise him for his grace, and for his works of wonder done in ev'ry time and place!

Let me behold your people's good and in their joy rejoice, and with your blest inheritance let me lift up my voice. 3 O save us, LORD, our gracious God, deliver us from shame, that we may triumph in your praise and bless your holy name. Blest be the LORD, our faithful God, all praise to him accord; let all the people say, "Amen!" Forever praise the LORD! Scripture: Psalm 106 Languages: English Tune Title: GRATUS

Richard Redhead

1820 - 1901 Topics: God as Good Composer of "GETHSEMANE" in Christian Worship Richard Redhead (b. Harrow, Middlesex, England, 1820; d. Hellingley, Sussex, England, 1901) was a chorister at Magdalen College, Oxford. At age nineteen he was invited to become organist at Margaret Chapel (later All Saints Church), London. Greatly influencing the musical tradition of the church, he remained in that position for twenty-five years as organist and an excellent trainer of the boys' choirs. Redhead and the church's rector, Frederick Oakeley, were strongly committed to the Oxford Movement, which favored the introduction of Roman elements into Anglican worship. Together they produced the first Anglican plainsong psalter, Laudes Diurnae (1843). Redhead spent the latter part of his career as organist at St. Mary Magdalene Church in Paddington (1864-1894).

Scotland, c. 1840; d. Liverpool, England, 1925), was a healer, mystic, and poet known simply as Brother James. The tune BROTHER JAMES AIR was first published in his volume The great peace: being a New Year's greeting ... (1915). Born in a devout Christian home, Bain came to doubt the faith but later regained a mystical belief with the aid of the Christo Theosophic Society. He founded the Brotherhood of Healers, and he and his fellow healers often sang to their patients during healing sessions. In the latter years of his life he worked among the poor in the slums of Liverpool. He published a book on healing entitled The Brotherhood of Healers ... (1906). Psalter Hymnal Handbook, 1988
