Oh! for a closer walk with God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #416 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning 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 hour I once enjoy'd! 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. Scripture: Genesis 5:24

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #417 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning Lyrics: 1 Dear Jesus, let thy pitying eye Call back a wand'ring sheep; False to my vows, like Peter, I Would fain, like Peter, weep. 2 Now let me be by grace restor'd, To me thy mercy shown; Oh turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3 Almighty Prince, enthron'd above, Repentance to impart, Grant, thro' the greatness of thy love, The humble, contrite heart. 4 Give, what I should have long implor'd, A taste of love unknown; Oh, turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 5 Behold me, Saviour, from above, Nor suffer me to die; For life, and happiness, and love Smile in thy gracious eye. 6 Speak but the reconciling word; Let mercy melt me down; Oh, turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone.

O that I were as heretofore!

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #418 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning Lyrics: 1 O that I were as heretofore! When warm in my first love; I only live my God t'adore, And seek the things above! 2 Upon my head his candle shone, And lavish of his grace, With cords of love he drew me on, And half unveil'd his face. 3 Far, far above all earthly things Triumphantly I rode; I soar'd to heaven on eagles' wings, And found and talk'd with God. 4 Where am I now, from what a height Of happiness cast down! The glory swallow'd up in night, And faded is the crown. 5 O God, thou art my home, my rest, For which I sigh in pain! How shall I 'scape into thy breast, My Eden how regain?

Jesus, my Saviour and my God

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #419 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour and my God, Thou hast redeem'd me with thy blood; By ties, both natural and divine, I am, and ever will be thine. 2 But ah! should my inconstant heart, Ere I'm aware, from thee depart, What dire reproach would fall on me For such ingratitude to thee! 3 The thought I dread, the crime I hate; The guilt, the shame, I deprecate: And yet so mighty are my foes, I dare not trust my warmest vows. 4 Pity my frailty, dearest Lord! Grace in the needful hour afford: O steel this tim'rous heart of mine With fortitude and love divine. 5 So shall I triumph o'er my fears, And gather joys from all my tears; So shall I to the world proclaim The honours of the Christian name.

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCXIII (1792) Topics: Backslidings and Returns; Christian Backsliding and returning First Line: Jesus let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus let thy pitying eye Call back a wand'ring sheep; False to my vows, like Peter, I Would fain like Peter weep. Let me be by grace restor'd, On me be all its freeness shewn; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 2 Savior, prince, enthron'd above, Repentance to impart, Give me, thro' thy dying love, The humble, contrite heart; Give, what I have long implor'd, A portion of thy grief unknown; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 3 See me, Savior, from above, Nor suffer me to die; Life and happiness, and love, Smile in thy gracious eye; Speak the reconciling word, And let thy mercy melt me down; Turn and look upon me, Lord, And break my heart of stone. 4 Look, as when thy pitying eye Was clos'd that we might live; "Father (at the point to die, My Savior gasp'd) forgive!" Surely with thy dying word, He turns, and looks, and cries, "'Tis done!" O! my loving, bleeding Lord, This breaks my heart of stone. Languages: English

Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punished and Saints saved

Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #139 (1786) Topics: Backsliding pardoned; Pardon of backsliding; Backsliding pardoned; Pardon of backsliding First Line: Great God, how oft did Israel prove Lyrics: 1 Great God, how oft did Israel prove By turns thine anger, and thy love? There is a glass our hearts may see How fickle and how false they be. 2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot The dreadful wonders God had wrought? Then they provoke him to his face, Nor fear his power, nor trust his grace. 3 The Lord consum'd their years in pain, And made their travels long and vain; A tedious march through unknown ways Wore out their strength, and spent their days. 4 Oft when they saw their brethren slain, They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again; Call'd him the rock of their abode, Their high Redeemer, and their God. 5 Their prayers and vows before him rise As flattering words or solemn lies, While their rebellious tempers prove False to his covenant and his love. 6 Yet could his sovereign grace forgive The men who not deserv'd to live; His anger oft away he turn'd, Or else with gentle flame it burn'd. 7 He saw their flesh was weak and frail, He saw temptations still prevail; The God of Abraham lov'd them still, And led them to his holy hill. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English
