Though all my crimes before thee lie,

And let a wretch come near thy throne,
To plead the merits of thy Son.

And owns thy dreadful sentence just;
Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
And save the soul condemn'd to die.

Sinners shall learn thy sovereign grace;
I'll lead them to my Saviour's blood,
And they shall praise a pardoning God.

Are ever to the Lord;
I love to plead his Promises,
And rest upon his Word.
2 Turn, turn thee to my Soul,
Bring thy Salvation near;
When will thy Hand release my Feet
Out of the deadly Snare?
3 When shall the Sov'reign Grace
Of my forgiving God,
Restore me from those dang'rous Ways
My wand'ring Feet have trod!
4 The Tumult of my Thoughts
Doth but enlarge my Woe;
My Spirit languishes, my Heart
Is desolate and low.
5 With every Morning Light
My Sorrow new begins;
Look on my Anguish and my Pain,
And pardon all my Sins.
Pause.
6 Behold the Hosts of Hell,
How cruel is their Hate?
Against my Life they rise, and join
Their Fury with Deceit.
7 O keep my Soul from Death,
Nor put my Hope to Shame;
For I have plac'd my only Trust
In my Redeemer's Name.
8 With humble Faith I wait
To see thy Face again;
Of Isr'el it shall ne'er be said,
He sought the Lord in vain.

Backsliding and Forgiveness; or, Sin punished, and Saints saved
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #141 (1740) Topics: Backsliding soul pardoned First Line: Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove Lyrics: 1 Great GOD, how oft did Isr'el prove
By Turns thine Anger and thy Love?
There in a Glass our Hearts may see
How fickle and how false they be.
2 How soon the faithless Jews forgot
The dreadful Wonders GOD had wrought!
Then they provoke him to his Face,
Nor fear his Pow'r, nor trust his Grace.
3 The Lord consum'd their Years in Pain,
And made their Travels long and vain;
A tedious March through unknown Ways
Wore out their Strength, and spent their Days.
4 Oft when they saw their Brethren slain
They mourn'd, and sought the Lord again;
Call'd him the Rock of their Abode,
Their high Redeemer, and their GOD.
5 Their Pray'rs and Vows before him rise,
As flatt'ring Words, or solemn Lyes,
While their rebellious Tempers prove
False to his Cov'nant and his Love.
6 Yet did his sov'reign Grace forgive
The Men who not deserv'd to live;
His Anger oft away he turn'd,
Or else with gentle Flame it burn'd.
7 He saw their Flesh was weak and frail,
He saw Temptations still prevail;
The GOD of Abra'm lov'd them still,
And led them to his holy Hill.

Which in our younger years we saw,

2 He bids us make his glories known;
His works of power and grace;
And we'll convey his wonders down
Through every rising race.
3 Our lips shall tell them to our sons,
And they again to theirs,
That generations yet unborn
May teach them to their heirs.

Their hope securely stands,
That they may ne'er forget his works,
But practise his commands. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English

Was Jacob's antient race!
False to their own most solemn vows,
And to their Maker's grace.
2 They broke the covenant of his love,
And did his laws despise,
Forgot the works he wrought to prove
His power before their eyes.
3 They saw the plagues on Egypt light
From his avenging hand:
What dreadful tokens of his might
Spread o'er the stubborn land.
4 They saw him cleave the mighty sea,
And march'd in safety through,
With watery walls to guard their way,
'Till they had 'scap'd the foe.
5 A wondrous pillar mark'd the road,
Compos'd of shade and light;
By day it prov'd a sheltering cloud,
A leading fire by night.
6 He from the rock their thirst supply'd;
The gushing waters flow'd,
And ran in rivers by their side,
Along the desert road.
7 Yet they provok'd the Lord most high,
And dar'd distrust his hand;
"Can he with bread our host supply
"Amidst this desert land?"
8 The Lord with indignation heard,
And caus'd his wrath to flame:
His terrors ever stand prepar'd
To vindicate his name. Scripture: Psalm 78 Languages: English
