Assurance for Evil Days

Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: O Lord, be Thou my helper true Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be Thou my helper true, For just and godly men are few; The faithful who can find? From truth and wisdom men depart, With flatt'ring lips and double heart They speak their evil mind. 2 The lips that speak, the truth to hide, The tongues of arrogance and pride, That boastful words employ, False-speaking tongues that boast their might, That own no law, that know no right, Jehovah will destroy. 3 Because the poor are sore oppressed, Because the needy are distressed, And bitter are their cries, The Lord will be their helper strong; To save them from contempt and wrong Jehovah will arise. 4 Jehovah's promises are sure, His words are true, His words are pure As silver from the flame. Tho' base men walk on ev'ry side, His saints are safe, whate'er betide, Protected by His Name. Scripture: Psalm 12 Used With Tune: BREMEN

Psalm 51 Part 3

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul restored First Line: O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry Lyrics: O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their mem'ry from thy book. Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin: Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy presence from my heart. I cannot live without thy light Cast out and banished from thy sight: Thine holy joys, my God, restore, And guard me that I fall no more. Though I have grieved thy Spirit, Lord, His help and comfort still afford; And let a wretch come near thy throne, To plead the merits of thy Son. A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns thy dreadful sentence just: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die. Then will I teach the world thy ways; Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace; I'll lead them to my Savior's blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. O may thy love inspire my tongue! Salvation shall be all my song; And all my powers shall join to bless The Lord, my strength and righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51

The backslider's prayer

Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Backslider's Prayer First Line: Hear me, O Redeemer, hear Lyrics: 1 Hear me, O Redeemer, hear, My huble suit receive; While I all my wants declare, And how unhel'd I griev; JESUS master I have sinn'd, My sol hath greatly gone astray, Dear Redeemer be my friend, And bring me on my way. 2 I am hungry all my cry, Is for the living bread; Neither have I ought to buy, Nor any thing to plead: Helpless begging at the door, I ask the food that came from heav'n, See me needy, lost, and poor, And let relief be giv'n. 3 Hidden manna, Lord, reveal, For this behold I pant; Let thine ears consider well The voice of my complaint; Let the tree of life relieve A weary traveller near to die; May it plese thee, Lord, to give, To one who cannot buy. 4 Empty send me not away, For I am come from far; do not, dearest Lord, delay, And leave me to dispair; Give me of thy flesh to eat, O! let me of thy nature share; At thy banquet take my seat, And feast for ever there.

An Invitation to Worship

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: O come before the Lord, our King Lyrics: 1 O come before the Lord, our King, And in His presence let us sing; Let us in glad and joyful lays The Rock of our salvation praise; Before Him come with thankful song In joyful psalms His praise prolong. 2 Almighty pow'r the Lord maintains, Exalted over all He reigns; He holds the valleys in His hand, He makes the mighty mountains stand; To Him belong both land and sea, Creator of the world is He. 3 O come and let us worship now, Before our maker let us bow; We are His sheep and He our God, He feeds our souls in pastures broad; He safely leads us in the way; O come and heed His voice today. 4 Take heed and harden not your heart As did our fathers, nor depart From God to follow in their ways; For with complaints instead of praise, With doubt instead of faith confessed, They put His mercy to the test. 5 Take heed that ye provoke Him not As did your fathers, who forgot, With erring heart, God's holy ways And grieved Him all their sinful days; To whom in wrath Jehovah sware, My promised rest they shall not share.
