All for Jesus

Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: Laudes Domini #319 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Take my life, and let it be Lyrics: 1 Take my life, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, to thee, Take my hands, and let them move At the impulse of thy love, Take my feet, and let them be Swift and beautiful for thee, Take my voice, and let me sing Always, only, for my King. 2 Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from thee, Take my silver and my gold, Not a mite would I withhold; Take my moments and my days, Let them flow in ceaseless praise, Take my intellect, and use Every power as thou shalt choose. 3 Take my will, and make it thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is thine own! It shall be thy royal throne. Take my love; my Lord, I pour At thy feet its treasure-store; Take myself, and I will be, Ever, only, all, for thee!

A hard heart

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #320 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Oh, this soul, how dark and blind! Lyrics: 1 Oh, this soul, how dark and blind! Oh, this foolish, earthly mind! Oh, this froward, selfish will, Which refuses to be still! Oh, these ever-roaming eyes, Upward that refuse to rise! Oh, those wayward feet of mine, Found in every path but thine! 2 Oh, this stubborn, prayerless knee, Hands so seldom clasped to thee, Longings of the soul, that go Like the wild wind, to and fro! To and fro, without an aim, Turning idly whence they came, Bringing in no joy, no bliss, Only adding weariness! 3 Giver of the heavenly peace! Bid, oh, bid these tumults cease; Minister thy holy balm; Fill me with thy Spirit's calm: Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Leave me not in sin to stay; Bearer of the sinner's guilt, Lead me, lead me, as thou wilt. Scripture: Isaiah 42:16 Languages: English Tune Title: CULFORD

"Where is the blessedness"

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #322 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Sweet was the time when first I felt Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue; And, when the evening shade prevailed, His love was all my song. 3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord, And saw his glory shine; And when I read his holy word, I called each promise mine. 4 Now, when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 5 Rise, Saviour! help me to prevail, And make my soul thy care; I know thy mercy cannot fail, Let me that mercy share.

"What hourly dangers!"

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: Laudes Domini #323 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Alas! what hourly dangers rise! Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise! What snares beset my way! To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears! My weak resistance, ah, how vain! How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God! in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid; Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, increase, my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee! And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee. Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Languages: English Tune Title: COOLING

Life's Sea

Author: Edward Hopper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #325 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me, Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock and treacherous shoal; Chart and compass came from thee: Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey thy will When thou say'st to them "Be still!" Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on thy breast, May I hear thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee!"

Cummins Hymnal: Laudes Domini #326 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Jesus, Lord of life and glory Refrain First Line: By thy mercy Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord of life and glory, Bend from heaven thy gracious ear; While our waiting souls adore thee, Friend of helpless sinners, hear: By thy mercy Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 2 From the depths of nature's blindness, From the hardening power of sin, From all malice and unkindness, From the pride that lurks within, By thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 3 When temptation sorely presses, In the day of Satan's power, In our times of deep distresses, In each dark and trying hour, By thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord. 4 In the solemn hour of dying, In the awful judgment-day, May our souls, on thee relying, Find thee still our Hope and Stay: By thy mercy, Oh, deliver us, good Lord.

"A way they knew not"

Author: Charles S. Robinson Hymnal: Laudes Domini #329 (1888) Topics: Backsliding First Line: Saviour! I follow on Lyrics: 1 Saviour! I follow on, Guided by thee, Seeing not yet the hand That leadeth me; Hushed be my heart and still, Fear I no further ill; Only to meet thy will My will shall be. 2 Riven the rock for me Thirst to relieve, Manna from heaven falls Fresh every eve; Never a want severe Causeth my eye a tear, But thou dost whisper near, "Only believe!" 3 Often to Marah's brink Have I been brought; Shrinking the cup to drink, Help I have sought; And with the prayer's ascent, Jesus the branch hath rent-- Quickly relief hath sent, Sweetening the draught. 4 Saviour! I long to walk Closer with thee; Led by thy guiding hand, Ever to be; Constantly near thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for him who died Freely for me! Scripture: Exodus 15:23 Languages: English Tune Title: EDEN
