Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,239 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Come Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
with all your quick'ning pow'rs;
kindle a flame of sacred love
in these cold hearts of ours.
2 In vain we tune our formal songs,
in vain we strive to rise;
hosannas languish on our tongues,
and our devotion dies.
3 And shall we then forever live
at this poor dying rate?
Our love, so faint, so cold to you,
and yours to us so great!
4 Come, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove,
with all your quick'ning pow'rs;
come, shed abroad a Savior’s love
and that shall kindle ours.
Scripture: Romans 5:5 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

God of mercy! God of grace!
Author: John Taylor Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace!
Hear our penitential songs;
Oh, restore Thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs!
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent;
3 Foolish fears and fond desires;
Vain regrets for things as vain;
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain;
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own;
Humbled at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne.
Amen. Used With Tune: ESHTEMOA
God of mercy! God of grace!

Sin's Restraint on God's Grace
Original and actual Sin confessed
Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Sol in Distress and Desertion restored; Backsliding Sol in Distress and Desertion restored First Line: Lord, I am vile, conceiv'd in sin Lyrics: 1 Lord, I am vile, conceiv'd in sin,
And born unholy and unclean;
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts the race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant breath,
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart;
But we're defil'd in every part.
3 [Great God, create my heart a-new,
And form my spirit pure and true;
Oh make me wise betimes to spy
My danger and my remedy.]
4 Behold I fall before thy face;
My only refuge is thy grace;
No outward forms can make me clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.
5 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop-branch, nor sprinkling priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
6 Jesus, my God, thy blood alone
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make me white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse me so.
7 While guilt disturbs and breaks my peace,
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease;
Lord, let me hear thy pardoning voice,
And make my broken heart rejoice. Scripture: Psalm 51

Oh, then, to the Rock let me fly
Author: E. Johnson Appears in 307 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep Lyrics: 1 Oh, sometimes the shadows are deep,
And rough seems the path to the goal;
And sorrows sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests down over the soul.
Refrain:
Oh, then, to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I:
Oh, then to the Rock let me fly,
To the Rock that is higher than I.
2 Oh, sometimes how long seems the day,
And sometimes how weary my feet;
But toiling is life's dusty way,
The Rock's blessed shadow how sweet. [Refrain]
3 Oh, near to the Rock let me keep,
If blessings or sorrows prevail;
Or climbing the mountain way steep,
Or walking the shadowy vale. [Refrain]
Used With Tune: THE HIGH ROCK
Oh, then, to the Rock let me fly
"What hourly dangers!"
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 248 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: COOLING
"What hourly dangers!"
Psalm 91
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 220 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Call Jehovah thy salvation Lyrics: 1 Call Jehovah thy salvation,
Rest beneath the Almighty's shade;
In his secret habitation
Dwell, and never be dismayed:
There no tumult can alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare;
Guile nor violence can harm thee,
In eternal safeguard there.
2 From the sword, at noon-day wasting,
From the noisome pestilence;
In the depth of midnight, blasting,
God shall be thy sure defence:
Fear not thou the deadly quiver,
When a thousand feel the blow;
Mercy shall thy soul deliver,
Though ten thousand be laid low.
3 Since, with pure and firm affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection,
He will shield thee from above;
Thou shalt call on him in trouble,
He will hearken, he will save;
Here, for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave. Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Used With Tune: MANSFIELD
Psalm 91
