Thou Lord of all above
Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Thou Lord of all above,
And all below the sky,
Before Thy feet I prostrate fall,
And for Thy mercy cry.
2 Forgive my follies past,
The crimes which I have done;
Oh, bid a contrite sinner live,
Through thine incarnate Son.
3 Guilt, like a heavy load,
Upon my conscience lies;
To Thee I make my sorrows known,
And lift my weeping eyes.
4 The burden which I feel,
Thou only canst remove;
Display, O Lord, Thy pardoning grace,
And Thine unbounded love.
5 One gracious look of thine
Will ease my troubled breast;
Oh, let me know my sins forgiven,
And I shall then be blest.
Amen. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ
Thou Lord of all above
My hope, my portion, and my God
Author: Anon. Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 My hope, my portion, and my God,
How little art Thou known
By all the judgments of Thy rod,
And blessings of Thy throne!
2 How cold and feeble is my love!
How negligent my fear!
How low my hope of joys above!
How few affections there!
3 Great God! Thy gracious aid impart
To give Thy word success;
Write Thy salvation in my heart,
That I may learn Thy grace.
4 Show my forgetful feet thy way
That leads to joys on high:
There knowledge grows without decay,
And love shall never die.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Author: R. Robinson, 1735-1790 Appears in 2,233 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Fear of; Backsliding Fear of Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace,
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some celestial measure,
Sung by ransomed hosts above;
O the vast, the boundless treasure
Of my Lord's unchanging love!
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I've come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God:
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
3 O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above!

From all malice and unkindness,
From the pride that lurks within,

Oh, deliver us, good Lord.

In the day of Satan's power,
In our times of deep distresses,
In each dark and trying hour,
By thy mercy,
Oh, deliver us, good Lord.

In the awful judgment-day,
May our souls, on thee relying,
Find thee still our Hope and Stay:
By thy mercy,
Oh, deliver us, good Lord. Used With Tune: RAPHAEL

Contrition's humble sigh;
Whose hand indulgent wipes the tears
From sorrow's weeping eye;--
2 See, Lord, before thy throne of grace,
A wretched wanderer mourn;
Hast thou not bid me seek thy face?
Hast thou not said--"Return?"

To drive me from thy feet?
Oh, let not this dear refuge fail,
This only safe retreat!

With beams of mercy shine!
And let thy healing voice impart
The sense of joy divine. Used With Tune: AVON

And hourly watch and pray.

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.
"What hourly dangers!"
Pardoning Grace
Appears in 105 hymnals Topics: Backsliding pardoned; Backsliding pardoned First Line: From deep distress and troubled thoughts Lyrics: 1 From deep distress and troubled thoughts,
To thee, my God, I rais'd my cries:
If thou severely mark our faults,
No flesh can stand before thine eyes.
2 But thou hast built thy throne of grace
Free to dispense thy pardons there,
That sinners may approach thy face,
And hope, and love, as well as fear.
3 As the benighted pilgrims wait,
And long and wish for breaking day,
So waits my soul before thy gate;
When will my God his face display!
4 My trust is fix'd upon thy word,
Nor shall I trust thy word in vain:
Let mourning souls address the Lord,
And find relief from all their pain.
5 Great is his love, and large his grace,
Through the redemption of his Son:
He turns our feet from sinful ways,
And pardons what our hands have done. Scripture: Psalm 130
