Author: S. Dryden Phelps Appears in 577 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Savior, thy dying love Lyrics: 1 Saviour, thy dying love Thou gavest me: Nor should I aught withhold, Dear Lord, from thee: In love my soul would bow, My heart fulfill its vow, Some offering bring thee now, Something for thee. 2 O'er the blest mercy-seat, Pleading for me, My feeble faith looks up, Jesus, to thee: Help me the cross to bear, Thy wondrous love declare, Some song to raise, or prayer, Something for thee. 3 Give me a faithful heart Likeness to thee, That each departing day Henceforth may see Some work of love begun, Some deed of kindness done, Some wanderer sought and won, Something for thee. 4 All that I am and have Thy gifts so free In joy, in grief, through life, Dear Lord, for thee: And when thy face I see, My ransomed soul shall be, Through all eternity, Something for thee.

Ah, where am I now!

Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Backslider Lyrics: 1 Ah, where am I now! When was it, or how That I fell from my heaven of grace? I am brought into thrall, I am stript of my All, I am banish'd from Jesus's face. 2 Hardly yet do I know How I let my Lord go, So insensibly starting aside: When the tempter came in With his own subtle sin, And infected my spirit with pride. 3 But I felt it too soon, That my Saviour was gone, Swiftly vanishing out of my sight; My triumph and boast On a sudden were lost, And my day it was turn'd into night. 4 Only pride could destroy That innocent joy, And make my Redeemer depart; But whate'er was the cause, I lament the sad loss, For the veil is come over my heart. 5 Ah! wretch that I am! I can only exclaim, Like a devil tormented within: My Saviour is gone, And has left me alone To the fury of Satan and sin. 6 Nothing can no relieve, Without comfort I grieve, I have lost all my peace and my pow'r; No access do I find To the friend of mankind; I can ask for his mercy no more. 7 Tongue cannot declare The torment I bear, (While no end of my troubles I see) Only Adam could tell On the day that he fell, And was turn'd out of Eden, like me. 8 Driven out from my God, I wander abroad, Thro' a desert of sorrows I rove; And how great is my pain, That I cannot regain My Eden of Jesus' love! 9 I never shall rise To my first paradise, Or come my Redeemer to see: But I feel a faint hope That at last he will stoop, And his pity shall bring him to me.

Emancipation from Spiritual Slavery
