"What hourly dangers!"
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 247 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Alas! what hourly dangers rise! Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
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. Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Used With Tune: COOLING

All for Jesus

Listen while we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.
All we have we offer,
All we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit,
All we yield to thee.
2 Great and ever greater
Are thy mercies here,
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain, or sorrow,
Toil, or care, is known,
Where the angel-legions
Circle round thy throne.
3 Dark and ever darker
Was the wintry past;
Now a ray of gladness
O'er our path is cast.
Every day that passeth,
Every hour that flies,
Tells of love unfeigned,
Love that never dies.
4 Clearer still and clearer
Dawns the light from heaven,
In our sadness bringing
News of sin forgiven.
Life has lost its shadows,
Pure the light within;
Thou hast shed thy radiance
On a world of sin. Used With Tune: EDINA

Author: Samuel J. Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Weary of earth, and laden with my sin Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin,
I look at heaven and long to enter in,
But there no evil thing may find a home:
And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come."
2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way,
Evil is ever with me day by day;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
"Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear,
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And his the blood that can for all atone,
And set me faultless there before the throne.
5 'Twas he who found me on the deathly wild,
And made me heir of heaven, the Father's child,
And day by day, whereby my soul may live,
Gives me his grace of pardon, and will give. Scripture: Job 22:21 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

In our times of deep distresses,
In each dark and trying hour,

In the awful judgment-day,
May our souls, on thee relying,
Find thee still our Hope and Stay:

The Litany
I was a wand'ring sheep
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 498 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I did not love the fold;
I did not love my Shepherd's voice,
I would not be controlled.
I was a wayward child,
I did not love my home;
I did not love my Father's voice,
I loved afar to roam.
2 The Shepherd sought his sheep,
The Father sought his child;
They followed me o'er vale and hill,
O'er deserts waste and wild:
They found me nigh to death,
Famished and faint and lone;
They bound me with the bands of love,
They saved the wand'ring one.
3 Jesus my Shepherd is;
'Twas he that loved my soul,
'Twas he that washed me in his blood,
'Twas he that made me whole;
'Twas he that sought the lost,
That found the wand'ring sheep,
'Twas he that brought me to the fold,
'Tis he that still doth keep.
4 I was a wand'ring sheep,
I would not be controlled;
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold.
I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam;
But now I love my Father's voice,
I love, I love his home.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 53:6 Used With Tune: LEBANON
I was a wand'ring sheep
Come to the Savior Now
Author: John M. Wigner Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 85 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 Come to the Savior now,
he gently calleth thee;
in true repentance bow,
before him bend the knee;
he waiteth to bestow
salvation, peace and love,
true joy on earth below,
a home in heav'n above.
2 Come to the Savior now,
ye who have wandered far;
renew your solemn vow,
for his by right you are;
come, like poor wand'ring sheep
returning to his fold;
his arm will safely keep,
his love will ne'er grow cold.
3 Come to the Savior, all,
whate'er your burdens be;
hear now his loving call,
"Cast all your care on me."
Come, and for ev'ry grief
in Jesus you will find
a sure and safe relief,
a loving Friend and kind.
Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30 Used With Tune: INVITATION
Come to the Savior Now
Thou Lord of all above
Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 61 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
