Gracious Lord, incline thy ear; My request vouchsafe to hear; Hear my never-ceasing cry; Give me Christ, or else I die. Wealth and honor I disdain, Earthly comforts, Lord are vain; These can never satisfy: Give me Christ, or else I die. All unholy and unclean, I am nothing but sin; On thy mercy I [...]

Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. —Isaiah 1:18 Choir: Come, let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as [...]
When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His [...]

King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He [...]
I hear the words of love, I gaze upon the blood, I see the mighty sacrifice, And I have peace with God. ‘Tis everlasting peace, Sure as Jehovah’s Name; ‘Tis stable as His steadfast throne, For evermore the same. The clouds may go and come, And storms may sweep my sky; This blood-sealed friendship changes [...]
Descend O Christ from heav’n on high, Thy glory set aside, Save us from death and darkness grim, And with Your seed abide. Veni, veni Domine, Thy people to redeem, Veni, veni Domine, fulfill our Christmas dream. The cradle crude all filled with straw Awaits Thy visit here, While shepherds gaze at glory’s light, Enrapt [...]

I have really enjoyed listening to the new CD by Gregory D. Wilbur entitled My Cry Ascends: New Parish Psalms which was published by Ligonier Ministries. I like all the songs but my favorite is “Lord Jesus Think On Me.” It is a beautiful prayer that was written by Synesius of Cyrene (c. 375-430 AD) [...]
