The Rewards of the Righteous

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: The good man's steps are led aright Lyrics: 1 The good man's steps are led aright, His way is pleasing in God's sight, Established it shall stand; He shall not perish though he fall, The mighty Lord who rules o'er all Upholds him with His hand. 2 Though I am old who young have been, No saint have I forsaken seen, Nor yet his home in need; He ever lends in gracious ways, His life true charity displays, His sons are blest indeed. 3 Depart from evil, do thou well, And evermore securely dwell; Jehovah loves the right. His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite. 4 The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for aye; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray.

Thus saith the mercy of the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics: Thus saith the mercy of the Lord, "I'll be a God to thee; I'll bless thy num'rous race, and they Shall be a seed for me." Abram believed the promised grace, And gave his sons to God; But water seals the blessing now, That once was sealed with blood. Thus Lydia sanctified her house, When she received the word; Thus the believing jailer gave His household to the Lord. Thus later saints, eternal King! Thine ancient truth embrace; To thee their infant offspring bring, And humbly claim the grace. Scripture: Genesis 17:7

Poor, weak, and worthless though I am

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak, and worthless though I am, I have a rich almighty friend; Jesus, the Saviour, is His name, He freely loves, and without end. 2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood, And, by His power, my foes controll'd; He found me wand'ring far from God, And brought me to His chosen fold. 3 But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns; And well my eyes with tears may swim, To think of my perverse returns: I’ve been a faithless friend to Him. 4 Often my gracious Friend I grieve, Neglect, distrust, and disobey; And often Satan’s lies believe Sooner than all my Friend can say. 5 Sure, were I not most vile and base, I could not thus my Friend requite! And were not He the God of grace, He'd frown and spurn me from his sight.
