Bring Them In
Author: Alexcenah Thomas, 19th cent. Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #445 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Topics: Backsliding First Line: Hark! 'tis the Shepherd's voice I hear Lyrics: 1 Hark! 'tis the Shepherd's voice I hear,
out in the desert dark and drear,
calling the sheep who've gone astray
far from the Shepherd's fold away.
Refrain:
Bring them in, bring them in,
bring them in from the fields of sin;
Bring them in, bring them in,
Bring the wand;ring ones to Jesus.
2 Who'll go and help this Shepherd kind,
help him the wand'ring ones to find?
Who'll bring the lost ones to the fold,
where they'll be sheltered from the cold? [Refrain]
3 Out in the desert hear their cry,
out on the mountains wild and high;
hark! 'tis the Master speaks to thee,
"Go find my sheep where'er they be." [Refrain]

O For A Closer Walk With God

O For A Closer Walk With God
Sweet was the time when first I felt
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #459 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliding 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 reveal'd,
His praises tuned my tongue;
And when the evening shades prevail'd,
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 call'd 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 Now Satan threatens to prevail,
And make my soul his prey;
Yet, Lord, Thy mercies cannot fail,
Oh, come without delay! Languages: English
Sweet was the time when first I felt
Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #460 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay,
Though I have done Thee such despite;
Cast not a sinner quite away,
Nor take Thine everlasting flight.
2 Though I have steel'd my stubborn heart,
Oft shaken off my guilty fears,
And vex'd and urged Thee to depart,
For many long rebellious years;
3 Though I have most unfaithful been
Of all who e'er Thy grace received,
Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen,
Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved;
4 Yes, oh, the chief of sinners spare,
In honor of my great High-Priest;
Nor in Thy righteous anger swear
T'exclude me from Thy people's rest.
5 This only woe I deprecate,
This only plague I pray remove,
Nor leave me in my lost estate,
Nor curse me with this want of love.
6 E'en now my weary soul release,
Upraise me with Thy gracious hand,
And guide into Thy perfect peace,
And bring me to the promised land. Languages: English
Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay
O Lord, and shall our fainting souls
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #461 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 O Lord, and shall our fainting souls
Thy just displeasure ever mourn?
Thy Spirit grieved, and long withdrawn
Will He no more to us return?
2 Great Source of light and peace, return,
Nor let us mourn and sigh in vain;
Come, repossess our longing hearts
With all the graces of Thy train.
3 This temple, hallow'd by Thy hand,
Once more be with Thy presence blest;
Here be Thy grace anew display'd;
Be this Thine everlasting rest. Languages: English
O Lord, and shall our fainting souls
I Was A Wandering Sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #464 (1990) 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.
Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Languages: English Tune Title: LEBANON

God of pity, God of grace
Author: Eliza F. Morris Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #466 (1961) Meter: 7.7.7.5 Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 God of pity, God of grace,
When we humbly seek thy face,
Bend from heav'n, thy dwelling-place;
Hear, forgive, and save.
2 When we in thy temple meet,
Spread our wants before thy feet,
Pleading at thy mercy-seat,
Look from heav'n and save.
3 When thy love our hearts shall fill,
And we long to do thy will,
Turning to thy holy hill,
Lord, accept and save.
4 Should we wander from thy fold,
And our love to thee grow cold,
With a pitying eye behold;
Lord, forgive and save.
5 Should the hand of sorrow press,
Earthly care and want distress,
May our souls thy peace possess;
Jesus, hear and save.
6 And, whate'er our cry may be,
When we lift our hearts to thee,
From our burden set us free;
Hear, forgive, and save.
Amen. Scripture: 2 Chronicles 6:27 Languages: English Tune Title: ETERNITY

Come to the Savior Now
Author: John M. Wigner Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #475 (1990) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Come to the Savior 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 Savior 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 Savior, 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.

Forgetting our burden of grief and disgrace?
Our soul is bowed down, yea, we cleave to the dust;
Rise, help and redeem us, thy mercy we trust. [Refrain]
