Protecting Grace

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: All who with heart confiding Lyrics: 1 All who, with heart confiding, Depend on God alone, Like Zion's mount abiding, Shall ne'er be overthrown. Like Zion's city, bounded By guarding mountains broad, His people are surrounded Forever by their God. 2 No scepter of oppression Shall hold unbroken sway, Lest unto base transgression The righteous turn away. Thy favor be imparted To godly men, O Lord; Bless all that are pure-hearted, The good with good reward. 3 The men who falsehood cherish, Forsaking truth and right, With wicked ones shall perish; God will their sin requite. From sin your saints defending, Their joy, O Lord, increase, With mercy never-ending And everlasting peace. Scripture: Psalm 125 Used With Tune: MIRIAM

Therefore, Lord, I come believing Thou canst give the power I need; Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit's strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in thy protection, Wholly rest upon thine arm; Follow wholly thy direction, Thou, mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to thee when tried, Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at thy side. Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Used With Tune: TRISTE

With tears of anguish I lament

Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 With tears of anguish I lament, Here at Thy feet, my God, My passion, pride, and discontent, And vile ingratitude. 2 Sure there was ne'er a heart so base, So false as mine has been; So faithless to its promises, So prone to every sin! 3 How long, dear Saviour, shall I feel These strugglings in my breast? When wilt Thou bow my stubborn will, And give my conscience rest? 4 Break, sovereign Grace, oh, break the charm, And set the captive free; Reveal, Almighty God, Thine arm, And haste to rescue me.
