Walking with GOD

Author: Cowper Hymnal: CoEH1793 #LXXXVI (1793) Scripture: Genesis 5:24 First Line: O for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame; A light, to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus, and his word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void, The world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Remembering all the way the LORD has led him

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXX (1793) Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2 First Line: Thus far my God hath led me on Lyrics: 1 Thus far my God hath led me on, And made his truth and mercy known; My hopes and fears alternate rise, And comforts mingle with my sighs. 2 Thro' this wide wilderness I roam, Far distant from my blissful home; Lord, let thy presence be my stay, And guard me in this dangerous way. 3 Temptations every where annoy, And sins and snares my peace destroy; My earthly joys are from me torn, And oft an absent God I mourn. 4 My soul with various tempests toss'd, Her hopes o'erturn'd, her projects cross'd, Sees every day new straits attend, And wonders where the scene will end. 5 Is this, dear Lord, that thorny road Which leads us to the mount of God? Are these the toils thy people know While in the wilderness below? 6 'Tis even so; thy faithful love Doth all thy children's graces prove; 'Tis thus our pride and self must fall, That Jesus may be ALL in ALL.

Unchanging faithfulness and love! Here let me trust, while I adore, Nor from my refuge e'er remove. 5 My God, if thou art mine indeed, Then I have all my heart can crave; A present help in times of need, Still kind to hear, and strong to save. 6 Forgive my doubts, O gracious Lord! And ease the sorrows of my breast; Speak to my heart the healing word, That thou art mine—and I am blest. Topics: Graces Languages: English

Backsliders Soliloquy

Author: Newton Hymnal: CoEH1793 #CXII (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: Job 29:2 First Line: Sweet was the time when first I felt Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Saviour's pardoning blood Apply'd, to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light reveal'd His praises tun'd my tongue; And when the evening shades prevail'd, His love was all my song. 3 In vain the tempter spread his wiles, The world no more could charm; I liv'd upon my Saviour's smiles, And lean'd upon his arm. 4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, And saw his glory shine; And when I read his holy word, I call'd each promise mine. 5 Then to his saints I often spoke, Of what his love had done; But now my heart is almost broke For all my joys are gone. 6 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns; And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 7 My prayers are now a chattering noise, For Jesus hides his face; I read, the promise meets my eyes, But will not reach my case. 8 Now satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet, Lord, thy mercies cannot fail, O come without delay.

Yet will my soul revere thy rod, Be still, and know that thou art God. 4 Then be my trials great or small, There's sure a needs-be for them all; Thus, then, by dealing I'll applaud, Be still, and know that thou art God. 5 Let me not murmur, nor repine, Under these trying strokes of thine; But while I walk the mournful road, Be still, and know that thou art God. 6 Still let this truth support my mind, Thou can'st not err, nor be unkind; And thus may I approve the rod, Be still, and know that thou art God. 7 Thy love thou'lt make in heaven appear In all I've borne or suffer'd here; Let me, till brought to that bode, Be still, and know that thou art God. 8 There when my happy soul shall rise To joys and Jesus in the skies, I shall, as ransom'd by thy blood, For ever sing, thou art my God.
