And Shall We Now Turn Back?
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11467 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: And shall we now turn back Lyrics: 1 And shall we now turn back,
To Satan’s conquest yield,
The holy fellowship forsake,
And quit the well-fought field?
No more with accord sweet
Our Savior’s love adore,
And see each other’s face, and meet
In Jesus’ name no more!
2 We who have counted loss
For Christ our greatest gain,
Shall we refuse the crown and cross,
And suffer all in vain?
Caught in the tempter’s snare,
Shall we like Demas stop,
Th’assembling of ourselves forbear,
And give our brethren up?
3 No, never will we part,
Or place to Satan give,
But cleave to God with steadfast heart,
And to each other cleave.
Strengthened by His command,
We for the faith contend,
In Jesus’ name together stand,
And suffer to the end.
4 In vain the subtle foe
Allures with proffered ease,
We now his false devices know,
And scorn his hellish peace:
Thy faithful servants, Lord,
We never will resign,
Or buy the world’s good will and word
By forfeiture of Thine.
5 No, in Thy strength we say
To sinners and their god,
Ye cannot tear our shield away,
Who trust in Jesus’ blood,
Who to each other cleave,
Your malice we defy;
We will in Christ together live,
We will together die. Languages: English Tune Title: ACCRA
And Shall We Now Turn Back?
Get Thee Behind Us, Fiend
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11468 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Get thee behind us, fiend,
With all thy baffled art!
The sheep we know Thou canst not rend,
Unless Thou first canst part:
Jesus His ten-fold power
His saints assembled claim:
Tremble, thou fiend, and fly before
Our mighty captain’s name.
2 Thy wisdom from below
Full well we understand;
Disperse, and then our souls o’erthrow,
Divide us, and command:
But Jesus still shall hold
And keep us safe from harms,
Together lodged within His fold,
His everlasting arms.
3 While in our shepherd’s breast
Our helpless souls we hide,
No devils can disturb our rest,
Nor can the world divide:
To build each other up
We now in Jesus join,
And who shall burst the bond, or stop
The intercourse divine?
4 This God hath bid us do,
And man forbids in vain;
Ye never, never can break through
Love’s adamantine chain:
Joined by the Savior’s will,
The same in mind and heart,
Ye may afflict us here, and kill,
But ye can never part.
5 Resolved our Lord t’obey,
In spite of man’s command,
Together in the ancient way
Through His support we stand:
Nor will we hence remove,
Till all triumphant rise
And meet the first-born Church above,
Assembled in the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: GÖTTINGEN
Get Thee Behind Us, Fiend
Lord, We Have All Forsook
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11470 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, we have all forsook
Thy dying love to know,
To bear Thy light and easy yoke,
And in Thy footsteps go;
Our pleasure, goods, and fame:
We yield what we have stored,
In pain, and poverty, and shame,
Partakers with our Lord.
2 Armed with Thy strength alone,
We still our all resign;
The lives which once we called our own,
Are not our own, but Thine:
Ready we always stand
In Thine almighty power,
To yield them up at Thy command,
And meet the fiery hour.
3 Where is the promise then,
The bliss Thou hast prepared
For us before the sons of men,
Where is our great reward?
The hundredfold increase
Of goods, and lands, and friends,
The sweet unutterable peace,
The joy that never ends!
4 Surely we are possessed
Of Thee our recompense,
Ecstasy fills our panting breast,
And pains our aching sense:
What hath the world like this!
The joy which now we know—
’Tis more than joy, or life, or bliss,
’Tis Heaven begun below.
5 Yet O! we look for more
And mightier joys above,
The fullness of Thy heavenly store,
Of Thine eternal love:
Glory shall end the strife,
And in these bodies shine;
Jesu, our everlasting life,
Our flesh shall be like Thine.
6 Changed by His mighty love,
We shall be as our Lord,
And sit upon our thrones above,
And bless His just award:
While trembling at the bar,
Devils and tyrants stand,
We shall with Him their doom declare,
And shout at His right hand.
7 Then every saint of His
Shall lean upon His breast;
The wicked there from troubling cease,
And there the weary rest:
Our sufferings all are o’er,
Our tears are wiped away,
We only love, rejoice, adore,
Through one eternal day.
8 The rivers of delight
That there our souls embrace,
The glorious beatific sight
That veils the angel’s face,
The joys ineffable
That from Thy presence flow,
The fullness here we cannot tell,
But, Lord, we die to know. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET
Lord, We Have All Forsook
The Unfailing One
Author: Frances R. Havergal Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11591 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: He who hath led, will lead Lyrics: 1 He who hath led, will lead
All through the wilderness;
He who hath fed, will surely feed;
Who hath blessed, will bless;
He who hath hath heard thy cry
Will never close His ear;
He who hath marked thy faintest sigh
Will not forget thy tear.
2 He who hath made thee whole
Will heal thee day by day;
He who hath spoken to thy soul
Hath many things to say;
He who hath greatly taught
Yet more will make thee know;
He who so wondrously hath wrought
Yet greater things will show.
3 He who hath made thee nigh
Will draw thee nearer still;
He who hath giv’n the first supply
Will satisfy and fill;
He who hath giv’n thee grace
Yet more and more will send;
He who hath set thee in the race
Will speed thee to the end.
4 He who hath won thy heart
Will keep it true and free;
He who hath shown thee what thou art
Will show Himself to thee;
He who hath bid thee live,
And made thy life His own,
Life more abundantly will give,
And keep it His alone.
5 Then trust Him for today,
As thine unfailing friend,
And let Him lead thee all the way,
Who loveth to the end.
And let the morrow rest
In His belovèd hand;
His good is better than our best,
As we shall understand. Languages: English Tune Title: AYDIN
The Unfailing One
My God, My Strength, My Hope (Jesu, My Strength, My Hope)
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11610 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: My God, my strength, my hope Lyrics: 1 My God, my strength, my hope,
On Thee I cast my care,
With humble confidence look up,
And know Thou hear’st my prayer.
Give me on Thee to wait,
Till I can all things do;
On Thee, almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
2 I want a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will,
That tramples down and casts behind
The baits of pleasing ill;
A soul inured to pain,
To hardship, grief, and loss,
Bold to take up, firm to sustain,
The consecrated cross.
3 I want a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to Thee when sin is near,
And bids the tempter fly;
A spirit still prepared,
And armed with jealous care,
Forever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer.
4 I want a true regard,
A single, steady aim,
Unmoved by threatening or reward,
To Thee and Thy great name;
This blessing above all,
Always to pray, I want:
Out of the deep on Thee to call,
And never, never faint.
5 I rest upon Thy word;
The promise is for me;
My succor and salvation, Lord,
Shall surely come from Thee;
But let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till Thou my patient spirit guide
Into Thy perfect love. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
My God, My Strength, My Hope (Jesu, My Strength, My Hope)
My Gracious, Loving Lord
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11613 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 My gracious, loving Lord,
To Thee what shall I say?
Well may I tremble at Thy word,
And scarce presume to pray!
Ten thousand wants have I;
Alas! I all things want;
And Thou hast bid me always cry,
And never, never faint.
2 Yet, Lord, well might I fear,
Fear even to ask Thy grace;
So oft have I, alas! drawn near.
And mocked Thee to Thy face:
With all pollutions stained,
Thy hallowed courts I trod,
Thy name and temple I profaned,
And dared to call Thee God!
3 Nigh with my lips I drew,
My lips were all unclean;
Thee with my heart I never knew.
My heart was full of sin;
Far from the living Lord,
As far as hell from Heaven,
Thy purity I still abhorred,
Nor looked to be forgiven.
4 My nature I obeyed,
My own desires pursued;
And still a den of thieves I made
The hallowed house of God.
The worship He approves
To Him I would not pay;
My selfish ends and creature-loves
Had stole my heart away.
5 A goodly, formal saint
I long appeared in sight,
By self and Satan taught to paint
My tomb, my nature, white.
The Pharisee within
Still undisturbed remained
The strong man, armed with guilt of sin,
Safe in his palace reigned.
6 But O! the jealous God
In my behalf came down;
Jesus Himself the stronger showed.
And claimed me for His own:
My spirit He alarmed,
And brought into distress;
He shook and bound the strong man armed
In his self-righteousness.
7 Faded my virtuous show,
My form without the power;
The sin-convincing Spirit blew,
And blasted every flower:
My mouth was stopped, and shame
Covered my guilty face;
I fell on the atoning Lamb,
And I was saved by grace. Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVET
My Gracious, Loving Lord
My Savior And My Lord
Author: Alexandre R. Vinet, 1799-1847; Richard B. Hoyle, 1875-1939 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11638 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 My Savior and my Lord,
To Thee I lift mine eyes;
Instruct me by Thy holy Word,
And make me truly wise.
2 Be it my chief delight
To read this volume o’er;
To seek its author day and night,
And love Thee more and more.
3 May this my thoughts engage,
In each perplexing case;
Help me to feed on every page,
And grow in every grace.
4 O let it cleanse my heart,
And guide me all my days;
Its wonders, Lord, to me impart,
And Thou shalt have the praise. Languages: English Tune Title: VESPER
My Savior And My Lord
My Shepherd Is The Lord
Author: Noble T. Beall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11640 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 My shepherd is the Lord,
He every want doth fill;
He leadeth me, He feedeth me,
Beside the waters still;
For His name’s glory He
Guides me in righteous ways,
Restores my soul when it grows cold,
Or in earth’s shadow strays.
2 Yea, tho’ thro’ death’s dark vale
I walk, I’ll lean on Thee,
Nor will I fear, for Thou art near,
Thy staff, it comforts me;
When foes press ’round me sore,
To starve my soul, O Lord!
Thou dost prepare with loving care
The table of Thy Word.
3 And Thy rich oil of grace
My head Thou’st poured upon;
My blessing cup hast Thou filled up,
Thy mercies to me shown;
Surely shall Thy goodness
And mercy fail me never,
And I shall dwell where glad songs swell
In my Lord’s house forever. Languages: English Tune Title: DEBDEN
My Shepherd Is The Lord
Ye Worms Of Earth, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11654 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Ye worms of earth, arise,
Ye creatures of a day,
Redeem the time, be bold, be wise,
And cast your bonds away;
Shake off the chains of sin,
Like us assembled here,
With hymns of praise to usher in
This new, accepted year.
2 The year of Gospel grace
Like us rejoice to see,
And thankfully in Christ embrace
Your proffered liberty.
See, pardon, peace are nigh,
Which every soul may prove;
The Lord, who now is passing by,
Makes this the time of love.
3 O Savior, Lord of all,
Thy proffer we receive,
Obedient to Thy Gospel call
That bids us turn, and live;
Our former years misspent,
Though late, we deeply mourn,
And softened by Thy grace repent,
And to Thy arms return.
4 With fear, and grief, and shame,
Our folly we bemoan,
But wonder at the patient Lamb,
Who lets us still alone:
Thy patience lifts us up,
Thy free unbounded grace,
And all our fear is lost in hope,
And all our grief in praise.
5 To Thee, by whom we live,
Our praise and lives we pay,
Praise, ardent, cordial, constant give,
And shout to see the day:
The day of saving grace,
Thy consecrated year,
When Thou, bright sun of righteousness,
Doth to our world appear.
6 Risen, we know Thou art,
With healing in Thy wings,
We feel, we feel it in our heart
The life Thy presence brings!
The seal and earnest this,
Our pardon we receive,
And look with Thee in glorious bliss,
Eternally to live. Languages: English Tune Title: ACCRA

With Christ my Lord to live. [Refrain]

On joy divine I’ll sup,
And rest in God’s eternal love;
"’Tis better higher up." [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: ASCOT
