LSB 607 | From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee [Organ]

Hymn of the Day for Ash Wednesday (Year A). Musician: Andrew Hayes - Lyrics: 1) From depths of woe I cry to Thee, In trial and tribulation; Bend down Thy gracious ear to me, Lord, hear my supplication. If Thou rememb'rest ev'ry sin, Who then could heaven ever win Or stand before Thy presence? 2) Thy love and grace alone avail To blot out my transgression; The best and holiest deeds must fail To break sin's dread oppression. Before Thee none can boasting stand, But all must fear Thy strict demand And live alone by mercy. 3) Therefore my hope is in the Lord And not in mine own merit; It rests upon His faithful Word To them of contrite spirit That He is merciful and just: This is my comfort and my trust. His help I wait with patience. 4) And though it tarry through the night And till the morning waken, My heart shall never doubt His might Nor count itself forsaken. O Isreal, trust in God your Lord. Born of the Spirit and the Word, Now wait for His appearing. 5) Though great our sins, yet greater still Is God's abundant favor; His hand of mercy never will Abandon us, nor waver. Our shepherd good and true is He, Who will at last His Israel free From all their sin and sorrow. - “The selection of hymns for any given service relates closely to the Holy Scriptures, the psalms, and the prayers appointed for the day. In all of this, Lutherans give careful attention to the Sundays and seasons of the Church Year, not only because of long-standing tradition, but because these patterns and practices are Christ-centered. The Church Year, especially from Advent through Eastertide and Pentecost, leads the faithful into and through the life of Christ. The Sundays after Pentecost are focused on the ongoing ministry of Christ within his church on earth, with eyes of faith fixed upon his coming in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection. These Sundays and seasons are truly one of the most precious treasures of our rich heritage as Christians.” (Wismar, Gregory. Lutheran Service Book Hymn Selection Guide.
