Waiting for Pardon and Direction

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #47 (1740) Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion First Line: I lift my Soul to GOD Lyrics: 1 I lift my Soul to GOD, My Trust is in his Name: Let not my Foes that seek my Blood Still triumph in my Shame. 2 Sin, and the Pow'rs of Hell, Persuade me to despair: Lord, make me know thy Cov'nant well, That I may 'scape the Snare. 3 From the first dawning Light Till the dark Ev'ning rise, For thy Salvation, Lord, I wait With ever-longing Eyes. 4 Remember all thy Grace, And lead me in thy Truth; Forgive the Sins of riper Days, And Follies of my Youth. 5 The Lord is just and kind, The Meek shall learn his Ways, And every humble Sinner find The Methods of his Grace. 6 For his own Goodness Sake, He saves my Soul from Shame, He pardons (tho' my Guilt be great) Thro' my Redeemer's Name. Scripture: Psalm 25:1-11 Languages: English

Shew Pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P51a (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics: 1 Shew pity, Lord, O Lord, forgive, Let a repenting Rebel live; Are not thy Mercies large and free; May not a Sinner trust in Thee? 2 My Crimes are great, but not surpass The Power and Glory of thy Grace: Great GOD, thy Nature hath no Bound, So let thy pard'ning Love be found. 3 O wash my Soul from ev'ry Sin, And make my guilty Conscience clean; Here on my Heart the Burden lies, And past Offences pain mine Eyes. 4 My Lips with Shame my Sins confess Against thy Law, against thy Grace; Lord, should thy Judgment grow severe, I am condemn'd, but thou art clear. 5 Should sudden Vengeance seize my Breath, I must pronounce Thee just in Death: And if my Soul were sent to Hell, Thy righteous Law approves it well. 6 Yet save a trembling Sinner, Lord, Whose Hope still hov'ring round thy Word, Would light on some sweet Promise there, Some sure Support against Despair.

Lord, I am vile, conceiv'd in Sin

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P51b (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am vile, conceiv'd in Sin; And born unholy and unclean; Sprung from the Man whose guilty Fall Corrupts the Race, and taints us All. 2 Soon as we draw our Infant-Breath, The Seeds of Sin grow up for Death; Thy Law demands a perfect Heart; But we're defil'd in ev'ry Part. 3 [Great GOD, create my Heart a new, And form my Spirit pure and true; O make me wise betimes, to spy My Danger and my Remedy.] 4 Behold I fall before thy Face; My only Refuge is thy Grace: No outward Forms can make me clean; The Leprosy lies deep within. 5 No bleeding Bird, nor bleeding Beast, Nor Hyssop-Branch, nor sprinkling Priest, Nor running Brook, nor Flood, nor Sea, Can wash the dismal Stain away. 6 Jesus, my GOD, thy Blood alone Hath Pow'r sufficient to attone; Thy Blood can make me white as Snow; No Jewish Types could cleanse me so. 7 While Guilt disturbs and breaks my Peace, Nor Flesh nor Soul hath Rest or Ease, Lord, let me hear thy pard'ning Voice, And make my broken Bones rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

O Thou that hear'st when Sinners cry

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P51c (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when Sinners cry, Tho' all my Crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry Look, But blot their Mem'ry from thy Book. 2 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. 3 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. 4 Though I have griev'd thy Spirit, Lord, Thy Help and Comfort still afford; And let a Wretch come near thy Throne To plead the Merits of thy Son. 5 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. 6 My Soul lies humbled in the Dust, And owns thy dreadful Sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying Eye, And save the Soul condemn'd to die. 7 Then will I teach the World thy Ways; Sinners shall learn thy sov'reign Grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's Blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 8 O may thy Love inspire my Tongue! Salvation shall be all my Song; And all my Pow'rs shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51 Languages: English

O God of Mercy, hear my Call

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P51e (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics: 1 O God of Mercy, hear my Call, My Loads of Guilt remove, Break down this separating Wall That bars me from thy Love. 2 Give me the Presence of thy Grace, Then my rejoicing Tongue Shall speak aloud thy Righteousness, And make thy Praise my Song. 3 No Blood of Goat, nor Heifer slain, For Sin could e'er attone; The Death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone. 4 A Soul opprest with Sin's Desert, My GOD will ne'er despise; A humble Groan, a broken Heart, Is our best Sacrifice.

Let Children hear the mighty Deeds

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78a (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned Lyrics: 1 Let Children hear the mighty Deeds Which GOD perform'd of old; Which in our younger Years we saw, And which our Fathers told. 2 He bids us make his Glories known; His Works of Pow'r and Grace; And we'll convey his Wonders down Through ev'ry rising Race. 3 Our Lips shall tell them to our Sons, And they again to theirs, That Generations yet unborn May teach them to their Heirs. 4 Thus shall they learn, in GOD alone Their Hope securely stands, That they may ne'er forget his Works, But practise his Commands.

O what a stiff rebellious House

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P78b (1766) Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned Lyrics: 1 O what a stiff rebellious House Was Jacob's ancient Race! False to their own most solemn Vows, And to their Maker's Grace. 2 They broke the Cov'nant of his Love, And did his Laws despise; Forgot the Works he wrought, to prove His Pow'r before their Eyes. 3 They saw the Plagues on Egypt light From his revenging Hand; What dreadful Tokens of his Might Spread o'er the stubborn Land. 4 They saw him cleave the mighty Sea, And march'd in Safety through, With watry Walls to guard their Way, 'Till they had 'scaped the Foe. 5 A wond'rous Pillar mark'd the Road, Compos'd of Shade and Light; By day it prov'd a shelt'ring Cloud, A leading Fire by Night. 6 He from the Rock their Thirst supply'd The gushing Waters fell, And ran in Rivers by their Side, A constant Miracle. 7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most High, And dar'd distrust his Hand: "Can he with Bread our Host supply "Amidst this desart Land?" 8 The Lord with Indignation heard, And caus'd his Wrath to flame; His Terrors ever stand prepar'd To vindicate his Name.
