Let mortal tongues attempt to sing

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion Lyrics: Let mortal tongues attempt to sing The wars of heav'n, when Michael stood Chief general of th' Eternal King, And fought the battles of our God. Against the dragon and his host The armies of the Lord prevail: In vain they rage, in vain they boast, Their courage sinks, their weapons fail. Down to the earth was Satan thrown, Down to the earth his legions fell; Then was the trump of triumph blown, And shook the dreadful deeps of hell. Now is the hour of darkness past, Christ has assum'd his reigning power; Behold the great accuser cast Down from the skies to rise no more. 'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb, Thine armies trod the tempter down; 'Twas by thy word and powerful name They gain'd the battle and renown. Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star Shine with new glories round the sky; Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war, Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high. Scripture: Revelation 12:7

Our souls shall magnify the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion Lyrics: Our souls shall magnify the Lord, In God the Savior we rejoice: While we repeat the Virgin's song, May the same Spirit tune our voice! [The Highest saw her low estate, And mighty things his hand hath done: His overshadowing power and grace Makes her the mother of his Son. Let ev'ry nation call her blest, And endless years prolong her fame; But God alone must be ador'd: Holy and reverend is his name.] To those that fear and trust the Lord, His mercy stands for ever sure: From age to age his promise lives, And the performance is secure. He spake to Abram and his seed, In thee shall all the earth be blessed;" The memory of that ancient word Lay long in his eternal breast. But now no more shall Isr'el wait, No more the Gentiles lie forlorn: Lo, the desire of nations comes; Behold, the promised seed is born! Scripture: Luke 1:46

Jehovah reigns, his throne is high

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 130 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned; Pardon of backsliding Lyrics: Jehovah reigns, his throne is high, His robes are light and majesty; His glory shines with beams so bright, No mortal can sustain the sight. His terrors keep the world in awe; His justice guards his holy law; His love reveals a smiling face; His truth and promise seal the grace. Through all his works his wisdom shines, And baffles Satan's deep designs; His power is sovereign to fulfil The noblest counsels of his will. And will this glorious Lord descend To be my Father and my Friend? Then let my songs with angels join; Heav'n is secure, if God be mine. Scripture: Psalm 78

Earnest Longings

Author: Anon. Appears in 233 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Purer yet, and purer Lyrics: 1 Purer yet, and purer I would be in mind, Dearer yet and dearer Every duty find; Hoping still and trusting God without a fear, Patiently believing He will make all clear. 2 Calmer yet and calmer Trial bear and pain, Surer yet and surer Peace at last to gain; Suffering still and doing, To his will resigned, And to God subduing Heart and will and mind. 3 Higher yet and higher Out of clouds and night, Nearer yet and nearer Rising to the light Oft these earnest longings Swell within my breast, Yet their inner meaning Ne'er can be expressed.

Encouragement in Prayer

Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Lord, Thou hast favor shown Thy land Lyrics: 1 Lord, Thou hast favor shown Thy land, Restored again Thy captive band; Thy people's sins Thou pardoned hast, And all their guilt hast covered o'er, Removed from them Thy anger sore, All Thy fierce wrath behind Thee cast. 2 In grace Thy people, Lord, return, Nor longer let Thy anger burn; Wilt Thou forever angry be? Thro' ages shall Thy wrath survive? Wilt Thou not us again revive, That so we may rejoice in Thee? 3 O Lord, to us Thy mercy show, And Thy salvation now bestow; We wait to hear what God will say; Peace to His people He will speak, And to His saints, but let them seek No more in folly's path to stray. Scripture: Psalm 85 Used With Tune: REDAL
