Praise for Gracious Deliverances

Hymnal: The Psalter #294 (1912) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Backsliding First Line: Men who walk in folly's way Lyrics: 1 Men who walk in folly's way, And to evil turn aside, Find that sorrow will repay Those who wisdom's laws defied; Down to death's dark portals led, They abhor their daily bread. 2 To Jehovah then they cry In their trouble, and He saves, Sends compassionate reply, Gives the health their spirit craves, Rescues them with gracious aid From the snares their folly laid. 3 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord Who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Let them all thank off'rings bring, Celebrate His deeds, and sing. Scripture: Psalm 107 Languages: English Tune Title: SACRED MORN

Psalm 51

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Laudes Domini #296 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord! forgive Lyrics: 1 Show 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 Oh, wash my soul from every sin, And make my guilty conscience clean; Here on my heart the burden lies, And past offences pain mine eyes. 3 My lips with shame my sins confess, Against thy law, against thy grace: Lord! should thy judgments grow severe, I am condemned, but thou art clear. 4 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. 5 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord! Whose hope still hovering round thy word, Would light on some sweet promise there, Some sure support against despair. Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Languages: English Tune Title: WOODWORTH

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Johann Heermann; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #296 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear thy voice, And in thy fold with us rejoice. 2 And all who else have strayed from thee, O gently seek; thy healing be To ev'ry wounded conscience giv'n; And let them also share thy heav'n. 3 O make the deaf to hear thy Word; And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 4 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall the wand'rers from thy fold; Unite those now who walk apart; Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 5 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore, And endless praise to thee be giv'n By all the church in earth and heav'n. Amen. Scripture: John 9:5 Tune Title: BRESLAU

"The voice of Jesus"

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: Laudes Domini #297 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Weary of earth, and laden with my sin Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look at heaven and long to enter in, But there no evil thing may find a home: And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand In the pure glory of that holy land? Before the whiteness of that throne appear? Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near. 3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way, Evil is ever with me day by day; Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall, "Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all." 4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear, His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And his the blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 5 'Twas he who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me his grace of pardon, and will give.

Stone Hymnal: Laudes Domini #298 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: O Jesus Christ the righteous! live in me Lyrics: 1 O Jesus Christ the righteous! live in me, That, when in glory I thy face shall see, Within the Father's house, my glorious dress May be the garment of thy righteousness. 2 Then thou wilt welcome me, O righteous Lord, Thine all the merit, mine the great reward; Mine the life won, and thine the life laid down, Thine the thorn-plaited, mine the righteous crown. 3 Naught can I bring, dear Lord, for all I owe; Yet let my full heart what it can bestow; Like Mary's gift let my devotion prove, Forgiven greatly, how I greatly love.

"Jesus died"

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #299 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Lord, I am come! thy promise is my plea Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am come! thy promise is my plea, Without thy word I durst not venture nigh! But thou hast called the burdened soul to thee, A weary, burdened soul, O Lord, am I! 2 Bowed down beneath a heavy load of sin, By Satan's fierce temptations sorely prest, Beset without, and full of fears within, Trembling and faint I come to thee for rest. 3 Be thou my refuge, Lord, my hiding-place; I know no force can tear me from thy side; Unmoved, I then may all accusers face, And answer every charge, with--"Jesus died."

Hast thou not said--"Return?" 3 And shall my guilty fears prevail To drive me from thy feet? Oh, let not this dear refuge fail, This only safe retreat! 4 Oh, shine on this benighted heart, With beams of mercy shine! And let thy healing voice impart The sense of joy divine.

Deep Penitence

Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: Laudes Domini #309 (1888) 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. Languages: English Tune Title: CRENIM

Psalm 91

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Laudes Domini #310 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Call Jehovah thy salvation Lyrics: 1 Call Jehovah thy salvation, Rest beneath the Almighty's shade; In his secret habitation Dwell, and never be dismayed: There no tumult can alarm thee, Thou shalt dread no hidden snare; Guile nor violence can harm thee, In eternal safeguard there. 2 From the sword, at noon-day wasting, From the noisome pestilence; In the depth of midnight, blasting, God shall be thy sure defence: Fear not thou the deadly quiver, When a thousand feel the blow; Mercy shall thy soul deliver, Though ten thousand be laid low. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of his protection, He will shield thee from above; Thou shalt call on him in trouble, He will hearken, he will save; Here, for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Languages: English Tune Title: MANSFIELD
