All for Jesus

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #700 (1884) Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Saviour, blessed Savior 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. Languages: English Tune Title: EDINA

"Backward never looking"

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #701 (1884) Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Nearer, ever nearer Lyrics: 1 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to thee, Deep in adoration Bending low the knee: Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die; Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. 2 Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God; Leaving all behind us May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. 3 Higher then and higher Bear the ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgotten, Saviour, to its goal; Where in joys unthought of Saints with angels sing, Never weary raising Praises to their King.

"A clean heart"

Hymnal: Laudes Domini #702 (1884) Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Oh, for a heart to praise my God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels thy blood So freely shed for me! 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone! 3 Oh, for a lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean! Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And filled with love divine; Perfect, and right, and pure, and good; An image, Lord! of thine. 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write thy new name upon my heart,-- Thy new, best name of Love. Languages: English Tune Title: FARRANT

Psalm 25 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.58 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion First Line: I Lift my soul to God Lyrics: I Lift my soul to God, My trust is in his name: Let not my foes that seek my blood Still triumph in my shame. Sin, and the powers of hell, Persuade me to despair: Lord, make me know thy cov'nant well, That I may 'scape the snare. From the first dawning light Till the dark ev'ning rise, For thy salvation, Lord, I wait With ever-longing eyes. Remember all thy grace, And lead me in thy truth; Forgive the sins of riper days, And follies of my youth. The Lord is just and kind, The meek shall learn his ways, And every humble sinner find The methods of his grace. For his own goodness' sake He saves my soul from shame: He pardons, though my guilt be great, Through my Redeemer's name. Scripture: Psalm 25:1-11 Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.60 (1806) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion; Distress of soul, or backsliding and desertion First Line: Mine eyes and my desire Lyrics: Mine eyes and my desire Are ever to the Lord; I love to plead his promises, And rest upon his word. Turn, turn thee to my soul, Bring thy salvation near; When will thy hand release my feet Out of the deadly snare? When shall the sovereign grace Of my forgiving God Restore me from those dangerous ways My wand'ring feet have trod? The tumult of my thoughts Doth but enlarge my woe; My spirit languishes, my heart Is desolate and low. With ev'ry morning light My sorrow new begins; Look on my anguish and my pain, And pardon all my sins. Behold the hosts of hell, How cruel is their hate! Against my life they rise, and join Their fury with deceit. O keep my soul from death, Nor put my hope to shame, For I have placed my only trust In my Redeemer's name. With humble faith I wait To see thy face again: Of Isr'el it shall ne'er be said, He sought the Lord in vain. Scripture: Psalm 25:15-22 Languages: English
