My hope, my portion, and my God
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #388 (1899) Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 My hope, my portion, and my God,
How little art Thou known
By all the judgments of Thy rod,
And blessings of Thy throne!
2 How cold and feeble is my love!
How negligent my fear!
How low my hope of joys above!
How few affections there!
3 Great God! Thy gracious aid impart
To give Thy word success;
Write Thy salvation in my heart,
That I may learn Thy grace.
4 Show my forgetful feet thy way
That leads to joys on high:
There knowledge grows without decay,
And love shall never die.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETER
My hope, my portion, and my God
Come to the Saviour now
Author: John M. Wigner Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #395 (1961) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Come to the Saviour now,
He gently calleth thee;
In true repentance bow,
Before him bend the knee;
He waiteth to bestow
Salvation, peace, and love,
True joy on earth below,
A home in heav'n above.
2 Come to the Saviour now,
Ye who have wandered far;
Renew your solemn vow,
For his by right you are;
Come, like poor wand'ring sheep
Returning to his fold;
His arm will safely keep,
His love will ne'er grow cold.
3 Come to the Saviour, all,
Whate'er your burdens be;
Hear now his loving call,
"Cast all your care on me."
Come, and for ev'ry grief
In Jesus you will find
A sure and safe relief,
A loving Friend and kind.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Languages: English Tune Title: INVITATION
Come to the Saviour now
I was a wand'ring sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #396 (1961) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I did not love the fold;
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled.
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home;
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought his sheep,
The Father sought his child;
They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They saved the wand'ring one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is;
'Twas he that loved my soul,
'Twas he that washed me in his blood,
'Twas he that made me whole;
'Twas he that sought the lost,
That found the wand'ring sheep,
'Twas he that brought me to the fold,
'Tis he that still doth keep.
4 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I would not be controlled;
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold.
I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam;
But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love his home.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Languages: English Tune Title: LEBANON
I was a wand'ring sheep
How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #420 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Has wander'd from the Lord!
How oft my roving thoughts depart,
Forgetful of His word!
2 Yet sov'reign mercy calls, "Return:"
Dear Lord, and may I come?
My vile ingratitude I mourn;
Oh, take the wanderer home.
3 And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive,
And bid my crimes remove?
And shall a pardon'd rebel live
To speak Thy wondrous love?
4 Almighty grace, Thy healing power,
How glorious, how divine!
That can to bliss and life restore
So vile a heart as mine.
5 Thy pard'ning love, so free, so sweet,
Dear Saviour, I adore:
Oh, keep me at Thy sacred feet,
And let me rove no more. Languages: English
How oft, alas! this wretched heart
Thou Lord of all above
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #421 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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. Languages: English
Thou Lord of all above
Poor, weak, and worthless though I am
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #422 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Poor, weak, and worthless though I am,
I have a rich almighty friend;
Jesus, the Saviour, is His name,
He freely loves, and without end.
2 He ransom'd me from hell with blood,
And, by His power, my foes controll'd;
He found me wand'ring far from God,
And brought me to His chosen fold.
3 But, ah! my inmost spirit mourns;
And well my eyes with tears may swim,
To think of my perverse returns:
I’ve been a faithless friend to Him.
4 Often my gracious Friend I grieve,
Neglect, distrust, and disobey;
And often Satan’s lies believe
Sooner than all my Friend can say.
5 Sure, were I not most vile and base,
I could not thus my Friend requite!
And were not He the God of grace,
He'd frown and spurn me from his sight. Languages: English
Poor, weak, and worthless though I am
O for a closer walk with God

When first I saw the Lord?
Where is that soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and His Word?

The world can never fill.

Sweet messenger of rest!

That drove Thee from my breast.

Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.

Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: CHOWN
