With contrite hearts return;
Our God is gracious, nor will leave
The desolate to mourn.
2 His voice commands the tempest forth,
And stills the stormy wave;
His arm, though it be strong to smite,
Is also strong to save.
3 Long hath the sight of sorrow reigned;
The dawn shall bring us light;
God shall appear, and we shall rise
With gladness in His sight.
4 Our hearts, if God we seek to know,
Shall know Him and rejoice;
His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs His voice.
5 As dew upon the tender herb,
Diffusing fragrance round;
As showers that usher in the spring,
And cheer the thirsty ground;
6 So shall His presence bless our souls,
And shed a joyful light;
That hallowed morn shall chase away
The sorrows of the night. Used With Tune: ST. PETER

Consecrated, Lord, to thee,
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love,
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee,
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King.
2 Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee,
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose.
3 Take my will, and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own!
It shall be thy royal throne.
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store;
Take myself, and I will be,
Ever, only, all, for thee! Used With Tune: CULFORD

The backslider's prayer
Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.8.7.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Backslider's Prayer First Line: Jesus, let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus, let thy pitying eye
Call back a wand'ring sheep;
False to thee, like Peter, I
Would fain like Peter, weep;
Let me be by grace restor'd,
On me be all its freeness shewn;
Turn and look upon me, LORD,
And break my heart of stone.
2 Saviour prince, enthron'd above,
Repentance to impart,
Give me thro' thy dying love,
The humble contrite heart;
Give, what I have long implor'd,
A portion of thy grief unknown;
Turn and look upon me, LORD,
And break my heart of stone.
3 See me, Saviour, from above,
Nor suffer me to die;
Life, and happiness, and love,
Drop from thy gracious eye;
Speak the reconciling word
And let thy mercy melt me down;
Turn and look upon me, LORD,
And break my heart of stone.
4 Look as when thy pitying eye,
Was clos'd that we might live;
Father (at the point to die,
My Saviour gasp'd) "Forgive!"
Surely with that dying word,
He turns, and looks, and cries, "'tis done!"
O my loving, bleeding LORD<
Thou breaks my heart of stone. Text Sources: Rippon's Coll.
The backslider's prayer
"Troubleth at my word"
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 185 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Oh, for that tenderness of heart Lyrics: 1 Oh, for that tenderness of heart,
That bows before the Lord;
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy word.
2 Oh, for those humble, contrite tears,
Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow!
3 Saviour! to me, in pity give,
For sin, the deep distress;
The pledge thou wilt, at last, receive,
And bid me die in peace.
4 Oh, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will;
Raise my desire and hopes above,
Thyself to me reveal.
"Troubleth at my word"
Psalm 51
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 786 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Show pity, Lord! O Lord! forgive Lyrics: 1 Show pity, Lord! O Lord! forgive;
Let a repenting rebel live;
Are not thy mercies large and free?
May not a sinner trust in thee?
2 Oh, wash my soul from every sin,
And make my guilty conscience clean;
Here on my heart the burden lies,
And past offences pain mine eyes.
3 My lips with shame my sins confess,
Against thy law, against thy grace:
Lord! should thy judgments grow severe,
I am condemned, but thou art clear.
4 Should sudden vengeance seize my breath,
I must pronounce thee just in death;
And if my soul were sent to hell,
Thy righteous law approves it well.
5 Yet save a trembling sinner, Lord!
Whose hope still hovering round thy word,
Would light on some sweet promise there,
Some sure support against despair. Scripture: Psalm 51:17 Used With Tune: WOODWORTH
Psalm 51
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

Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Author: R. Robinson, 1735-1790 Appears in 2,209 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!
Used With Tune: NETTLETON
Come, thou Fount of every blessing
