"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.

"Something for thee"
Author: S. Dryden Phelps Appears in 554 hymnals Topics: Backsliding; Backsliding First Line: Savior, thy dying love Lyrics: 1 Saviour, thy dying love
Thou gavest me:
Nor should I aught withhold,
Dear Lord, from thee:
In love my soul would bow,
My heart fulfill its vow,
Some offering bring thee now,
Something for thee.
2 O'er the blest mercy-seat,
Pleading for me,
My feeble faith looks up,
Jesus, to thee:
Help me the cross to bear,
Thy wondrous love declare,
Some song to raise, or prayer,
Something for thee.
3 Give me a faithful heart
Likeness to thee,
That each departing day
Henceforth may see
Some work of love begun,
Some deed of kindness done,
Some wanderer sought and won,
Something for thee.
4 All that I am and have
Thy gifts so free
In joy, in grief, through life,
Dear Lord, for thee:
And when thy face I see,
My ransomed soul shall be,
Through all eternity,
Something for thee.

Come, let us to the Lord our God
Author: Dr. J. Morison, 1749-1798 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Return from; Backsliding Return from Lyrics: 1 Come, let us to the Lord our God
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
Come, let us to the Lord our God
"A way they knew not"
Author: Charles S. Robinson Appears in 126 hymnals Topics: Backsliding First Line: Saviour! I follow on Lyrics: 1 Saviour! I follow on,
Guided by thee,
Seeing not yet the hand
That leadeth me;
Hushed be my heart and still,
Fear I no further ill;
Only to meet thy will
My will shall be.
2 Riven the rock for me
Thirst to relieve,
Manna from heaven falls
Fresh every eve;
Never a want severe
Causeth my eye a tear,
But thou dost whisper near,
"Only believe!"
3 Often to Marah's brink
Have I been brought;
Shrinking the cup to drink,
Help I have sought;
And with the prayer's ascent,
Jesus the branch hath rent--
Quickly relief hath sent,
Sweetening the draught.
4 Saviour! I long to walk
Closer with thee;
Led by thy guiding hand,
Ever to be;
Constantly near thy side,
Quickened and purified,
Living for him who died
Freely for me! Scripture: Exodus 15:23 Used With Tune: EDEN
"A way they knew not"
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
O Praise the Lord, for He Is Good
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Lyrics: 1 O praise the Lord, for he is good;
give thanks and bless his name;
his lovingkindness changes not,
from age to age the same.
2 What tongue can tell his mighty deeds,
his wondrous works and ways?
O who can show his glory forth,
or utter all his praise?
3 The Lord will bless and prosper those--
yea, blest indeed are they--
whose ways are just, who constantly
his righteous laws obey.
4 O Lord, remember me in grace,
let me salvation see;
the grace you show unto your saints,
that grace reveal to me.
5 Let me behold your people's good
and in their joy rejoice;
with your triumphant heritage
let me lift up my voice.
6 In evil we have gone astray,
and sinful is our race;
rebelliously our fathers walked
forgetful of your grace.
7 Though they rebelled, yet for their help
in saving strength he came
to make his pow'r almighty known
and glorify his name.
8 He brought them safely through the sea
and overwhelmed their foes;
their faith was stirred, and for the time
their songs of praise arose.
9 Forgetful soon, they tempted God,
nor for his counsel cared;
he sent them leanness in their souls,
while they earth's bounties shared.
10 Their God and Savior they forgot,
their helper and their stay,
but Moses sought the promised grace
and turned God's wrath away.
11 But they despised the pleasant land,
the promised land of God,
and tempted him to make them fall
and scatter them abroad.
12 Against his own inheritance
the Lord's great wrath arose;
his chosen people he condemned
to serve their heathen foes.
13 Save us, O Lord, our gracious God,
from alien lands reclaim,
that we may triumph in your praise
and bless your holy name.
14 Blest be the Lord, our covenant God,
all praise to him accord;
let all the people say, "Amen!"
Forever praise the Lord.
Scripture: Psalm 106:1-15 Used With Tune: BARRE Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt; mod.

My longing soul is stirred;
Oh, give me a diviner name!
Call me thy servant, Lord!
2 No longer would my soul be known
As uncontrolled and free;
Oh, not mine own, oh, not mine own!
Lord, I belong to thee!
3 Thy servant, me thy servant choose;
Naught of thy claim abate!
The glorious name I would not lose,
Nor change the sweet estate.

This is the name for me!

Through all eternity. Used With Tune: SERENITY
