Prayer for Help
Psalm 25 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion First Line: I Lift my soul to God Lyrics:
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.
Sin, and the powers of hell,
Persuade me to despair:
Lord, make me know thy cov'nant well,
That I may 'scape the snare.
From the first dawning light
Till the dark ev'ning rise,
For thy salvation, Lord, I wait
With ever-longing eyes.
Remember all thy grace,
And lead me in thy truth;
Forgive the sins of riper days,
And follies of my youth.
The Lord is just and kind,
The meek shall learn his ways,
And every humble sinner find
The methods of his grace.
For his own goodness' sake
He saves my soul from shame:
He pardons, though my guilt be great,
Through my Redeemer's name.
Scripture: Psalm 25:1-11
Psalm 25 Part 1
Psalm 25 Part 3
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion First Line: Mine eyes and my desire Lyrics:
Mine eyes and my desire
Are ever to the Lord;
I love to plead his promises,
And rest upon his word.
Turn, turn thee to my soul,
Bring thy salvation near;
When will thy hand release my feet
Out of the deadly snare?
When shall the sovereign grace
Of my forgiving God
Restore me from those dangerous ways
My wand'ring feet have trod?
The tumult of my thoughts
Doth but enlarge my woe;
My spirit languishes, my heart
Is desolate and low.
With ev'ry morning light
My sorrow new begins;
Look on my anguish and my pain,
And pardon all my sins.
Behold the hosts of hell,
How cruel is their hate!
Against my life they rise, and join
Their fury with deceit.
O keep my soul from death,
Nor put my hope to shame,
For I have placed my only trust
In my Redeemer's name.
With humble faith I wait
To see thy face again:
Of Isr'el it shall ne'er be said,
He sought the Lord in vain.
Scripture: Psalm 25:15-22
Psalm 25 Part 3
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion Lyrics:
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Lies, a fair type of Babylon:
"Prophets, rejoice, and all ye saints,
God shall avenge your long complaints."
He said, and dreadful as he stood,
He sunk the millstone in the flood:
"Thus terribly shall Babel fall,
Thus, and no more be found at all."
Scripture: Revelation 18:20-21
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
"Troubleth at my word"
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 185 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Oh, for that tenderness of heart Lyrics: 1 Oh, for that tenderness of heart,
That bows before the Lord;
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy word.
2 Oh, for those humble, contrite tears,
Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow!
3 Saviour! to me, in pity give,
For sin, the deep distress;
The pledge thou wilt, at last, receive,
And bid me die in peace.
4 Oh, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will;
Raise my desire and hopes above,
Thyself to me reveal.
"Troubleth at my word"
O Praise the Lord, for He Is Good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good;
give thanks and bless his name;
his lovingkindness changes not,
from age to age the same.
2 What tongue can tell his mighty deeds,
his wondrous works and ways?
O who can show his glory forth,
or utter all his praise?
3 The Lord will bless and prosper those--
yea, blest indeed are they--
whose ways are just, who constantly
his righteous laws obey.
4 O Lord, remember me in grace,
let me salvation see;
the grace you show unto your saints,
that grace reveal to me.
5 Let me behold your people's good
and in their joy rejoice;
with your triumphant heritage
let me lift up my voice.
6 In evil we have gone astray,
and sinful is our race;
rebelliously our fathers walked
forgetful of your grace.
7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help
in saving strength he came
to make his pow'r almighty known
and glorify his name.
8 He brought them safely through the sea
and overwhelmed their foes;
their faith was stirred, and for the time
their songs of praise arose.
9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God,
nor for his counsel cared;
he sent them leanness in their souls,
while they earth's bounties shared.
10 Their God and Savior they forgot,
their helper and their stay,
but Moses sought the promised grace
and turned God's wrath away.
11 But they despised the pleasant land,
the promised land of God,
and tempted him to make them fall
and scatter them abroad.
12 Against his own inheritance
the Lord's great wrath arose;
his chosen people he condemned
to serve their heathen foes.
13 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God,
from alien lands reclaim,
that we may triumph in your praise
and bless your holy name.
14 Blest be the Lord, our covenant God,
all praise to him accord;
let all the people say, "Amen!"
Forever praise the Lord.

Do we not know that solemn word
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics:
Do we not know that solemn word,
That we are buried with the Lord,
Baptized into his death, and then
Put off the body of our sin?
Our souls receive diviner breath,
Raised from corruption, guilt, and death;
So from the grave did Christ arise,
And lives to God above the skies.
No more let sin or Satan reign
Over our mortal flesh again;
The various lusts we served before
Shall have dominion now no more.
Scripture: Romans 6:3-4
Do we not know that solemn word
Thou Lord of all above
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of all above,
And all below the sky,
Before Thy feet I prostrate fall,
And for Thy mercy cry.
2 Forgive my follies past,
The crimes which I have done;
Oh, bid a contrite sinner live,
Through Thine incarnate Son.
3 Guilt, like a heavy load,
Upon my conscience lies;
To Thee I make my sorrows known,
And lift my weeping eyes.
4 The burden which I feel,
Thou only canst remove;
Display, O Lord, Thy pard'ning grace,
And Thine unbounded love.
5 One gracious look of Thine
Will ease my troubled breast;
Oh, let me know my sins forgiven,
And I shall then be blest.
Thou Lord of all above
