A lovely youth falling short of heaven

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns #CCLXV (1802) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Mark 10:21 Topics: Youth The accepted time First Line: Must all the charms of nature then Lyrics: 1 Must all the charms of nature, then, So hopeless to salvation prove? Can hell demand, can heav'n condemn, The man whom Jesus deigns to love? 2 The man who sought the ways of truth, Paid friends and neighbors all their due; A modest, sober, lovely youth, And thought he wanted nothing new? 3 But mark the change: thus spake the Lord, "Come, part with earth for heav'n to-day," The youth, astonish'd at the word, In silent sadness went his way. 4 Poor virtues, that he boasted so, This test unable to endure, Let Christ, and grace, and glory go, To make his land and money sure! 5 Ah foolish choice of treasures here! Ah fatal love of tempting gold! Must this base world be bought so dear? Are life and heav'n so cheaply sold! 6 In vain the charms of nature shine, If this vile passion govern me; Transform my soul, O love divine! And make me part with all for thee. Languages: English

Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy

Author: Joseph Hart, 1712-1768 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #547 (1972) Meter: 8.7 D Scripture: Luke 14:17 Topics: Warning Message The Accepted Time Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore, Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and pow'r; He is able, He is able, He is willing—doubt no more; He is able, He is able, He is willing—doubt no more. 2 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him; This He gives you, This He gives you, 'Tis the Saviour's rising beam; This He gives you, This He gives you, 'Tis the Saviour's rising beam. 3 Agonizing in the garden, Lo, your Saviour prostrate lies! On the bloody tree behold Him! Hear Him cry before He dies: "It is finished, it is finished!" Sinners, will not this suffice? "It is finished, it is finished!" Sinners, will not this suffice? 4 Lo! the rising Lord ascending, Pleads the virtue of His blood; Venture on Him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus, none but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good; None but Jesus, none but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 5 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Chant the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with His name; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENVILLE NEW

Now is th'accepted time

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #182 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2 Topics: Behold, now is the accepted Time Lyrics: 1 Now is th’accepted time, Now is the day of grace; Now, sinners, come without delay, And seek the Saviour’s face. 2 Now is th’accepted time, The Saviour calls to-day; To-morrow it may be too late, Then why should you delay? 3. Now is th’accepted time, The gospel bids you come; And ev'ry promise in his word, Declares there yet is room. 4 Lord, draw reluctant souls, And feast them with thy love; Then will the angels spread their wings And bear the news above. 5 At length around thy throne They shall thy face behold; While thro' eternity they'll strive Their raptures to unfold.
