Our Sure Defense

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Like Zion's steadfast mount are they Lyrics: 1 Like Zion's steadfast mount are they Who in the Lord confide; Secure, immovable they stand, Forever to abide. 2 As round about Jerusalem The mountains give defense, Jehovah is His people's guard, Their lasting confidence. 3 No tyrant's scepter o'er the good Shall undisturbed abide, Lest righteous men, oppressed by wrong, To evil turn aside. 4 O Thou Jehovah, to the good Thy goodness now impart, Thy loving-kindness show to them That upright are in heart. 5 All those that turn from righteousness With wayward, wandering feet, With sinners God will lead them forth, The sinner's doom to meet. 6 O Thou Who art Thy people's shield, Their helper and their guide, Upon them let Thy grace and peace For evermore abide. Scripture: Psalm 125 Used With Tune: BRADFORD

Yet there is Room

Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Backsliders invited to return First Line: Ye dying sons of men Lyrics: 1 Ye dying sons of men, Immerg'd in sin and woe, The gospel’s voice attend, While Jesus sends to you: Ye perishing and guilty come, In Jesus’ arms there yet is room. 2 No longer now delay, Nor vain excuses frame; He bids you come to-day, Tho' poor, and blind, and lame: All things are ready, sinners, come, For every trembling soul there’s room. 3 Believe the heavenly word His messengers proclaim; He is a gracious Lord, And faithful is his name: Backsliding souls, return and come, Cast off despair there yet is room. 4 Compell'd by bleeding love, Ye wand'ring sheep, draw near, Christ calls you from above, His charming accents hear! Let whosoever will, now come: In mercy’s breast there still is room. Scripture: Luke 14:22

Covenant Faithfulness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89 Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

Peter's Fall and Recovery

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Backslidings and Returns First Line: How did the powers of darkness rage Lyrics: 1 How did the powers of darkness rage Against the son of God! While cruel men on earth engage To shed his precious blood. 2 His friends forsook him with surprise, When that dread scene began; And one perfidiously denies He ever knew the man. 3 How feeble human efforts prove Against temptation's power! E'en Peter's flaming zeal and love Are vanquish'd in an hour. 4 His firmest purpose will not stand Behold his guilt and shame! Lord, keep me by thy mighty hand, Or I shall do the same. 5 At length the suffering Savior turns, And looks with pitying eyes; Peter relents, withdraws and mourns, And loud for mercy cries. 6 So boundless is Jehovah's grace, He hears the humble prayer; If I am found in Peter's case, I would not still dispair. 7 Look on me, Lord, with eyes of love, My wandering soul restore; My guilt forgive, my fears remove, And let me sin no more. Scripture: Luke 22:54-62
