"Finish thy new creation"

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #311 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Love divine, all love excelling Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,-- Joy of heaven, to earth come down! Fix in us thy humble dwelling, All thy faithful mercies crown: Jesus! thou art all compassion, Pure, unbounded love thou art; Visit us with thy salvation, Enter every trembling heart. 2 Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit, Into every trouble breast! Let us all in thee inherit, Let us find the promised rest: Come, almighty to deliver, Let us all thy life receive! Speedily return, and never, Never more thy temples leave! 3 Finish then thy new creation, Pure, unspotted may we be: Let us see our whole salvation Perfectly secured by thee! Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place; Till we cast our crowns before thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Father, again in Jesus' Name we meet

Author: Lady Lucy E. G. Whitmore Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #311 (1961) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' Name we meet, And bow in penitence beneath thy feet: Again to thee our feeble voices raise, To sue for mercy, and to sing thy praise. 2 O we would bless thee for thy ceaseless care, And all thy works from day to day declare: Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of thy boundless love, Too oft with careless feet from thee we rove; But now, encouraged by thy voice, we come, Returning sinners to a Father's home. 4 O by that Name in whom all fulness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in. Amen. Scripture: Micah 7:18 Languages: English Tune Title: LONGWOOD

"Keep me ever"

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: Laudes Domini #312 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Holy Father, thou hast taught me Lyrics: 1 Holy Father, thou hast taught me I should live to thee alone; Year by year thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife may never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit's strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in thy protection, Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side. Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Languages: English Tune Title: TRISTE

The closer walk

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #313 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Oh, for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame,-- A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Trust God: who will employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 4 I sigh to think of happier days, When thou, O Lord! wast nigh; When every heart was tuned to praise, And none more blest than I. 5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Hope still; and thou shalt sing The praise of him who is thy God, Thy health's eternal spring. Scripture: Psalm 42:1 Languages: English Tune Title: CHERITH
