Backslider's complaint
Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O how sore a thing and grievous Lyrics: 1 O how sore a thing and grievous,
Is it from our God to run;
When we force our God to leave us,
Wretched are we and undone.
2 Are we not our own tormentors,
When from happiness we flee?
Yes, my soul, the iron enters,
Sin is perfect misery.
3 I the bitter cup have tasted,
Still I drink the mingled gall;
Still my soul by sin lies wasted,
Unrecovered from its fall.
4 Still beneath his frown I languish;
God, from whom I would depart,
Leaves me to my grief and anguish,
Gives me up to my own heart.
5 Pain and curse I now inherit,
Fears and wars and storms within;
Grief and agony of spirit
Sin chastising me for sin.
6 Ye who now enjoy his favor,
Husband well the precious grace;
Never lose, like me, your Savior,
Never break from his embrace.
7 Do not by your lightness grieve him,
Youthful lusts and idols flee;
Little children never leave him,
Never grieve your God like me.
8 Pray and when the answer's given:
When you find the passage free:
When your prayers have opened heaven,
Faithful souls, remember me.

Backsliders Soliloquy
Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals First Line: Sweet was the time when first I felt Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pardoning blood
Apply'd, to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd
His praises tun'd my tongue;
And when the evening shades prevail'd,
His love was all my song.
3 In vain the tempter spread his wiles,
The world no more could charm;
I liv'd upon my Saviour's smiles,
And lean'd upon his arm.
4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine;
And when I read his holy word,
I call'd each promise mine.
5 Then to his saints I often spoke,
Of what his love had done;
But now my heart is almost broke
For all my joys are gone.
6 Now when the evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
7 My prayers are now a chattering noise,
For Jesus hides his face;
I read, the promise meets my eyes,
But will not reach my case.
8 Now satan threatens to prevail,
And make my soul his prey;
Yet, Lord, thy mercies cannot fail,
O come without delay. Topics: The Christian Life Scripture: Job 29:2
