Ye Sinners On Backsliding Bent

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ye sinners on backsliding bent, God’s gracious call attend; Shall not compassion so divine Each stubborn spirit bend? 2 "How shall I give mine Israel up To ruin and despair? How pour down showers of flaming wrath And make a Sodom there? 3 "My bowels strong relentings feel; My heart is pained within; I will not all My wrath exert, Nor visit all their sin." 4 The mercy of a God restrains The thunders of His hand; Come, seek protection from that power, Which you can ne’er withstand. 5 With trembling haste, O God, to Thee Let sinners wing their flight; As doves, when birds of prey pursue, Down on their windows light. 6 Father, we seek Thy gracious arm, All melted at Thy voice; O may Thy heart, that feels our woes, In our return rejoice. Used With Tune: MANOAH Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

I lean upon no broken reed

Author: Rev. Dr. H. Bonar Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 I lean upon no broken reed, Nor trust an untried guide; I know Him and He knoweth me, He walketh at my side. 2 I hold His hand as on we walk, And still He holdeth mine; It is a human hand I hold, It is a hand Divine. 3 “Hold Thou me up” is still my cry, As o’er the rugged road Of this my pilgrimage I move, That lead s me nearer God. 4 Lord Jesus, Thou the first and last, Oh, when wilt Thou appear? And bring the long, long-looked for dawn Of the eternal year. Used With Tune: MANOAH
