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.

Covenant Faithfulness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

Deep Penitence

Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 235 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet Lyrics: 1 Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet, A guilty rebel lies; And upwards, to thy mercy-seat, Presumes to lift his eyes. 2 Let not thy justice frown me hence; Oh, stay the vengeful storm; Forbid it, that Omnipotence Should crush a feeble worm. 3 If tears of sorrow could suffice To pay the debt I owe, Tears should, from both my weeping eyes, In ceaseless currents flow. 4 But no such sacrifice I plead To expiate my guilt; No tears, but those which thou hast shed,-- No blood, but thou hast spilt. 5 Think of thy sorrows, dearest Lord! And all my sins forgive, Then justice will approve the word, That bids the sinner lives. Used With Tune: CRENIM
