"Thou art my all"

Author: J. R. Macduff Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Jesus, my Saviour! look on me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour! look on me, For I am weary and opprest; I come to cast myself on thee: Thou art my Rest. 2 Look down on me, for I am weak, I feel the toilsome journey's length; Thine aid omnipotent I seek: Thou art my Strength. 3 I am bewildered on my way, Dark and tempestuous is the night; Oh, send thou forth some cheering ray: Thou art my Light. 4 Thou wilt my every want supply, Ev'n to the end, whate'er befall; Through life, in death, eternally, Thou art my All.

I Thought upon the Days of Old

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 I thought upon the days of old, The years departed long, I held communion with my heart, By night recalled my song. 2 My heart inquired with anxious care, Will God forever spurn? Shall we no more His favor see? Will mercy ne'er return? 3 Forever shall His promise fail? Has God forgotten grace? Has He withdrawn His tender love, In anger hid His face? 4 These doubts are my infirmity, My thoughts at once reply; I call back years of God's right hand, The years of God Most High. 5 I will commemorate, O Lord, Thy wondrous deeds of old, And meditate upon Thy works Of power and grace untold. 6 O God, most holy is Thy way, Most perfect, good, and right; Thou art the only living God, The God of wondrous might. Scripture: Psalm 77 Used With Tune: SAXONY

I left the God of truth and light

Author: Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 I left the God of truth and light, I left the God who gave me breath, To wander in the wilds of night, And perish in snares of death. 2 In riches when I sought for joy, And placed in sordid gains my trust, I found that gold was all alloy, And worldly treasures fleeting dust. 3 Heart-broken, friendless, poor, cast down, Where shall the chief of sinners fly, Almighty vengeance, from thy frown? Eternal justice, from thine eye? 4 Lo, through the gloom of guilty fears, My face discerns a dawn of grace; The Sun of Righteousness appears In Jesus' reconciling face. 5 My suffering, slain, and risen Lord, In sore distress I turn to thee; I claim acceptance on thy word; My God, my God, forsake not me! 6 Prostrate before thy mercy-seat, I dare not, if I would, despair; None ever perished at thy feet, And I will lie forever there. Scripture: 2 Samuel 12:13

A Summons to Joyful Worship

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Now to God, our Strength and Saviour Lyrics: 1 Now to God, our Strength and Saviour, Render praise and loudly sing; In our fathers' God rejoicing, All your noblest music bring. 2 Let the trumpet, far resounding, This our festal day proclaim, By our fathers' God appointed, When from bondage Israel came. 3 I, thy God, removed thy burdens, When thou calledst, set thee free, Proved thee in the thirsty desert, In the thunder answered thee. 4 O My people, hear My pleadings; O that thou wouldst hearken now; No strange worship shalt thou offer, Nor to idols shalt thou bow. 5 I am God the Lord Who saved thee, And from cruel bondage freed; Open wide thy mouth of longing; I will satisfy thy need. 6 But My people would not hearken, Yea, they would not yield to Me; So I left them in their blindness, Their own counselors to be. 7 If My people would obey me, Gladly walking in My ways, Soon would I, their foes subduing, Fill their lips with songs of praise. 8 All the haters of Jehovah Shall His clemency implore, And the days of those that love Him Shall endure for evermore. 9 Yea, with wheat the very finest I their hunger will supply, Bid the very rocks yield honey That shall fully satisfy. Scripture: Psalm 81 Used With Tune: STOCKWELL

For the Morning

Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Backslider First Line: Where is my God, my joy, my hope Lyrics: 1 Where is my God, my joy, my hope, The dear desire of nations, where? Jesus to thee my soul looks up, To thee directs her morning-prayer; And spreads her arms of faith abroad, T' embrace my hope, my joy, my God! 2 Mine eyes prevent the morning-ray, Looking, and longing for thy word; Com, O my Jesus, come away, And let my heart receive its Lord; Which pants and struggles to be free, And breaks to be detain'd from thee. 3 Appear in me bright Morning-Star, And scatter all the shades of night! I saw thee once, and came from far, But quickly lost thy transient light; And now again in darkness pine, Till thou throughout my nature shine. 4 In patient hope I now take heed To the sure word of promis'd grace, Whose rays a feeble lustre shed, Faint, glimmering thro' the darksome place; Till thou thy glorious light impart, And rise, the Day-Star in my heart. 5 Come, Lord, be manifested here, And all the devil's works destroy; Now without sin in me appear, And fill with everlasting joy: Thy beatific face display, Thy presence is the perfect day.
