Repentance and Faith in the Blood of Christ

Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Sol in Distress and Desertion restored; Backsliding Sol in Distress and Desertion restored First Line: O God of mercy, hear my call Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, hear my call, My loads of guilt remove, Break down this separating wall That bars me from thy love. 2 Give me the presence of thy grace, Then my rejoicing tongue Shall speak aloud thy righteousness, And make thy praise my song. 3 No blood of goats nor heifer slain, For sin could e'er attone; The death of Christ shall still remain Sufficient and alone. 4 A soul opprest with sin's desert My God will ne'er despise; A humble groan, a broken heart, Is our best sacrifice. Scripture: Psalm 51:14-17

All for Jesus

Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 332 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Saviour, blessed Saviour Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour, Listen while we sing, Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King. All we have we offer, All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to thee. 2 Great and ever greater Are thy mercies here, True and everlasting Are the glories there, Where no pain, or sorrow, Toil, or care, is known, Where the angel-legions Circle round thy throne. 3 Dark and ever darker Was the wintry past; Now a ray of gladness O'er our path is cast. Every day that passeth, Every hour that flies, Tells of love unfeigned, Love that never dies. 4 Clearer still and clearer Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sin forgiven. Life has lost its shadows, Pure the light within; Thou hast shed thy radiance On a world of sin. Used With Tune: EDINA

Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 2 Though, like a wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 3 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven: All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee! 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!

Psalm 51 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul restored First Line: Lord, I would spread my sore distress Lyrics: Lord, I would spread my sore distress And guilt before thine eyes; Against thy laws, against thy grace, How high my crimes arise! Shouldst thou condemn my soul to hell, And crush my flesh to dust, Heav'n would approve thy vengeance well, And earth must own it just. I from the stock of Adam came, Unholy and unclean; All my original is shame, And all my nature sin. Born in a world of guilt, I drew Contagion with my breath; And as my days advanced, I grew A juster prey for death. Cleanse me, O Lord, and cheer my soul With thy forgiving love; O make my broken spirit whole, And bid my pains remove. Let not thy Spirit quite depart, Nor drive me from thy face; Create anew my vicious heart, And fill it with thy grace. Then will I make thy mercy known Before the sons of men; Backsliders shall address thy throne, And turn to God again. Scripture: Psalm 51:3-13

O Thou that hear'st when Sinners cry

Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul restored Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when Sinners cry, Tho' all my Crimes before thee lie, Behold them not with angry Look, But blot their Mem'ry from thy Book. 2 Create my Nature pure within, And form my Soul averse to Sin; Let thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide thy Presence from my Heart. 3 I cannot live without thy Light, Cast out and banished from thy Sight: Thine holy Joys my GOD restore, And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have griev'd thy Spirit, Lord, Thy Help and Comfort still afford; And let a Wretch come near thy Throne To plead the Merits of thy Son. 5 A broken Heart, my GOD, my King, Is all the Sacrifice I bring; The God of Grace will ne'er despise A broken Heart for Sacrifice. 6 My Soul lies humbled in the Dust, And owns thy dreadful Sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying Eye, And save the Soul condemn'd to die. 7 Then will I teach the World thy Ways; Sinners shall learn thy sov'reign Grace; I'll lead them to my Saviour's Blood, And they shall praise a pard'ning God. 8 O may thy Love inspire my Tongue! Salvation shall be all my Song; And all my Pow'rs shall join to bless The Lord, my Strength and Righteousness. Scripture: Psalm 51

Apostacy—Will ye also go away?

Author: Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Backslidings and returns Dreaded First Line: When any turn from Zion's way Lyrics: 1 When any turn from Zion's way, (Alas! what numbers do!) Methinks I hear my Savior say, "Wilt thou forsake me too?" 2 Ah Lord! with such a heart as mine, Unless thou hold me fast; I feel I must, I shall decline, And prove like them at last. 3 Yet thou alone hast power, I know, To save a wretch like me: To whom, or whither, could I go, If I should turn from thee? 4 Beyond a doubt I rest assur'd Thou art the Christ, of God; Who hast eternal life secur'd, By promise and by blood. 5 The help of men and angels join'd, Could never reach my case; Nor can I hope relief to find, But in thy boundless grace. 6 No voice but thine can give me rest, And bid my fears depart; No love but thine can make me bless'd, And satisfy my heart. 7 What anguish has that question stirr'd, If I will also go? Yet, Lord, relying on thy word, I humbly answer No!
