Dryden Phelps Hymnal: Laudes Domini #318 (1890) Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Savior, thy dying love Lyrics: 1 Saviour, thy dying love Thou gavest me: Nor should I aught withhold, Dear Lord, from thee: In love my soul would bow, My heart fulfill its vow, Some offering bring thee now, Something for thee. 2 O'er the blest mercy-seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to thee: Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or prayer, Something for thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart Likeness to thee, That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wanderer sought and won, Something for thee. 4 All that I am and have Thy gifts so free In joy, in grief, through life, Dear Lord, for thee: And when thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be, Through all eternity, Something for thee.

A look from Christ

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #319 (1890) Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: In the hour of trial Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, plead for me; Lest by base denial I depart from thee; When thou see'st me waver, With a look recall, Nor for fear or favor Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm; Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm; Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crowned Calvary. 3 Should thy mercy send me Sorrow, toil, and woe; Or should pain attend me On my path below; Grant that I may never Fail thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on thee. 4 When my last hour cometh, Fraught with strife and pain, When my dust returneth To the dust again; On thy truth relying Through that mortal strife, Jesus, take me, dying, To eternal life.

All for Jesus

Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: Laudes Domini #321 (1890) Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Saviour, blessed Saviour Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour, Listen while we sing, Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King. All we have we offer, All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to thee. 2 Great and ever greater Are thy mercies here, True and everlasting Are the glories there, Where no pain, or sorrow, Toil, or care, is known, Where the angel-legions Circle round thy throne. 3 Dark and ever darker Was the wintry past; Now a ray of gladness O'er our path is cast. Every day that passeth, Every hour that flies, Tells of love unfeigned, Love that never dies. 4 Clearer still and clearer Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sin forgiven. Life has lost its shadows, Pure the light within; Thou hast shed thy radiance On a world of sin. Languages: English Tune Title: EDINA

Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God: He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above!

Let mortal tongues attempt to sing

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #504 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion Lyrics: Let mortal tongues attempt to sing The wars of heav'n, when Michael stood Chief general of th' Eternal King, And fought the battles of our God. Against the dragon and his host The armies of the Lord prevail: In vain they rage, in vain they boast, Their courage sinks, their weapons fail. Down to the earth was Satan thrown, Down to the earth his legions fell; Then was the trump of triumph blown, And shook the dreadful deeps of hell. Now is the hour of darkness past, Christ has assum'd his reigning power; Behold the great accuser cast Down from the skies to rise no more. 'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb, Thine armies trod the tempter down; 'Twas by thy word and powerful name They gain'd the battle and renown. Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star Shine with new glories round the sky; Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war, Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high. Scripture: Revelation 12:7 Languages: English
