My trust is in his name;
Let not my foes that seek my blood
Still triumph in my shame.

Persuade me to despair;
Lord make me know thy covenant well,
That I may ’scape the snare.
3 From gleams of dawning light
Till evening shades arise,
For thy salvation, Lord, I wait,
With ever-longing eyes.
4 Remember all thy grace,
And lead me in thy truth;
Forgive the sins of riper days,
And follies of my youth.

The meek shall learn his ways,
And every humble sinner find
The methods of his grace.

He saves my soul from shame;

Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Backsliding Soul in Distress and Desertion; Backsliding Soul in Distress and Desertion First Line: Mine eyes and my deisre Lyrics: 1 Mine eyes and my desire
Are ever to the Lord;
I love to plead his promis'd grace,
And rest upon his word.
2 Turn, turn thee to my soul,
Bring thy salvation near;
When will thy hand release my feet
To 'scape the deadly snare?
3 When shall the sovereign grace
Of my forgiving God
Restore me from those dangerous ways
My wandering 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 Oh 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 Israel it shall ne'er be said,
He sought the Lord in vain Scripture: Psalm 25:15-22
Distress of Soul; or, Backsliding and Desertion
Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion Lyrics:
Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
The wars of heav'n, when Michael stood
Chief general of th' Eternal King,
And fought the battles of our God.
Against the dragon and his host
The armies of the Lord prevail:
In vain they rage, in vain they boast,
Their courage sinks, their weapons fail.
Down to the earth was Satan thrown,
Down to the earth his legions fell;
Then was the trump of triumph blown,
And shook the dreadful deeps of hell.
Now is the hour of darkness past,
Christ has assum'd his reigning power;
Behold the great accuser cast
Down from the skies to rise no more.
'Twas by thy blood, immortal Lamb,
Thine armies trod the tempter down;
'Twas by thy word and powerful name
They gain'd the battle and renown.
Rejoice, ye heav'ns; let every star
Shine with new glories round the sky;
Saints, while ye sing the heav'nly war,
Raise your Deliv'rer's name on high.
Scripture: Revelation 12:7
Let mortal tongues attempt to sing
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion Lyrics:
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Lies, a fair type of Babylon:
"Prophets, rejoice, and all ye saints,
God shall avenge your long complaints."
He said, and dreadful as he stood,
He sunk the millstone in the flood:
"Thus terribly shall Babel fall,
Thus, and no more be found at all."
Scripture: Revelation 18:20-21
In Gabriel's hand a mighty stone
Our souls shall magnify the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Backsliding soul in distress and desertion Lyrics:
Our souls shall magnify the Lord,
In God the Savior we rejoice:
While we repeat the Virgin's song,
May the same Spirit tune our voice!
[The Highest saw her low estate,
And mighty things his hand hath done:
His overshadowing power and grace
Makes her the mother of his Son.
Let ev'ry nation call her blest,
And endless years prolong her fame;
But God alone must be ador'd:
Holy and reverend is his name.]
To those that fear and trust the Lord,
His mercy stands for ever sure:
From age to age his promise lives,
And the performance is secure.
He spake to Abram and his seed,
In thee shall all the earth be blessed;"
The memory of that ancient word
Lay long in his eternal breast.
But now no more shall Isr'el wait,
No more the Gentiles lie forlorn:
Lo, the desire of nations comes;
Behold, the promised seed is born!
Scripture: Luke 1:46
Our souls shall magnify the Lord
