Crown Him
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CLXXVI (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliders invited to return First Line: Backsliders, who your misery feel Lyrics: 1 Backsliders, who your misery feel,
Attend your savior's call;
Return, he'll your backslidings heal;
O crown him Lord of all
2 Though crimson sin increase your guilt,
And painful is your thrall;
For broken hearts his blood was spilt;
O crown him Lord of all.
3 Take with you words, approach his throne,
And low before him fall;
He understands the spirit's groan;
O crown him Lord of all.
4 Whoever comes he'll not cast out,
Altho' your faith be small;
His faithfulness you cannot doubt;
O crown him Lord of all. Languages: English

The backslider's prayer
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXX (1790) Topics: Backslider's Prayer First Line: Hear me, O Redeemer, hear Lyrics: 1 Hear me, O Redeemer, hear,
My huble suit receive;
While I all my wants declare,
And how unhel'd I griev;
JESUS master I have sinn'd,
My sol hath greatly gone astray,
Dear Redeemer be my friend,
And bring me on my way.
2 I am hungry all my cry,
Is for the living bread;
Neither have I ought to buy,
Nor any thing to plead:
Helpless begging at the door,
I ask the food that came from heav'n,
See me needy, lost, and poor,
And let relief be giv'n.
3 Hidden manna, Lord, reveal,
For this behold I pant;
Let thine ears consider well
The voice of my complaint;
Let the tree of life relieve
A weary traveller near to die;
May it plese thee, Lord, to give,
To one who cannot buy.
4 Empty send me not away,
For I am come from far;
do not, dearest Lord, delay,
And leave me to dispair;
Give me of thy flesh to eat,
O! let me of thy nature share;
At thy banquet take my seat,
And feast for ever there.

The backslider's prayer
Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCLXXIX (1790) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Topics: Backslider's Prayer First Line: Jesus, let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus, let thy pitying eye
Call back a wand'ring sheep;
False to thee, 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 Saviour 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, Saviour, from above,
Nor suffer me to die;
Life, and happiness, and love,
Drop from 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 Saviour gasp'd) "Forgive!"
Surely with that dying word,
He turns, and looks, and cries, "'tis done!"
O my loving, bleeding LORD<
Thou breaks my heart of stone. Languages: English

The Backslider's Return
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CLXII (1799) Topics: Backslider his return First Line: O thou, my God, who from thy throne supreme Lyrics: 1 O thou my GOD, who from thy throne supreme,
Art mindful of the penitential tear,
Kindly dispersing, with thy mercy's beam,
The gath'ring clouds of darkness and despair;
Lord, lend thine ear! O hear a sinner's cry!
And save a wretch thy law condemns to die!
2 Long has thy gospel sounded in mine ears,
And once I tho't I made thy ways my choice;
But now, alas! o'erwhelm'd with gloomy fears,
I scarce can hear my heav'nly shepherd's voice;
Oh shine again! revive my drooping heart!
Subdue my foes, and bid my fears depart!
3 Entangles with the world's delusive charms,
Mine enemies against my soul prevail;
Prevail to thrust me, wretched, from thine arms,
Whilst guilt and unbelief my hope assail.
O GOD, my GOD, display thy guardian cure,
Nor let me fall a victim to despair!
4 Does not thy promise bid me rest secure?
And can I trust thy faithfulness in vain?
Shall not thy truth from age to age endure?
And wilt thou not thy people's cause maintain?
Then shine again, my fainting soul restore,
And hold me with thy hand to fall no more!

Weary of wandering from my God
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #415 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Christian experience Backslider returning; The returning Backslider Lyrics: 1 Weary of wandering from my God,
And now made willing to return,
I hear, and bow me to the rod:
For thee, not without hope, I mourn;
I have an Advocate above,
A Friend before the Throne of Love.
2 O Jesus, full of truth and grace,
More full of grace than I of sin;
Yet once again I seek thy face,
Open thine arms and take me in!
And freely my backslidings heal,
And love the faithless sinner still.
3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back,
My fallen spirit to restore;
O! for thy truth and mercy's sake!
Forgive and bid me sin no more:
The ruins of my soul repair,
And make my heart a House of Prayer.
4 The stone to flesh again convert:
The veil of sin once more remove!
Sprinkle thy blood upon my heart,
And melt it by thy dying love!
This rebel heart by love subdue,
And make it soft and make it new.
5 Give to mine eyes refreshing tears,
And kindle my relentings now;
Fill all my soul with filial fears:
To thy sweet yoke my spirit bow:
Bend by the grace, O bend or break
The iron sinews in my neck! Scripture: Hosea 14:1

In Jesus’ arms there yet is room.

Nor vain excuses frame;

Tho' poor, and blind, and lame:
All things are ready, sinners, come,
For every trembling soul there’s room.

Backsliding souls, return and come,
Cast off despair there yet is room.
