The Dreadful Day Is Come

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sinners, your hearts lift up, Partakers of your hope! This, the day of Pentecost; Ask, and ye shall all receive; Surely now the Holy Ghost God to all that ask shall give. 2. Ye all may freely take The grace for Jesus’ sake; He for every man hath died, He for all hath risen again; Jesus now is glorified; Gifts He hath received for men. 3. Blessings on all He pours, In never-ceasing showers; All He waters from above; Offers all His joy and peace, Settled comfort, perfect love, Everlasting righteousness. 4. All may from Him receive A power to turn and live; Grace for every soul is free; All may hear the Spirit’s call; All the light and life may see; All may feel He died for all. 5. Father, behold, we claim The gift in Jesus’ name! Now the promised Comforter Into all our spirits pour; Let Him fix His mansion here, Come, and never leave us more.

Sinners, Dismiss Your Fear

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Sinners, dismiss your fear, The joyful tidings hear! This the word that Jesus said, O believe, and feel it true; Christ is risen from the dead, Lives the Lord who died for you! 2. Haste, to His tomb repair, And see the tokens there; See the place where Jesus lay, Mark the burial cloths He wore; Angels near His relics stay, Guards of Him who dies no more. 3. Why then art thou cast down, Thou poor afflicted one? Full of doubts, and griefs, and fears, Look into that open grave! Died He not to dry thy tears? Rose He not thy soul to save? 4. Know’st thou not where to find The Savior of mankind? He hath borne Himself away, He from death Himself hath freed, He on the third glorious day, Rose triumphant from the dead. 5. To purge thy guilty stain He died, and rose again; Wherefore dost thou weep and mourn? Sinner, lift thine heart and eye, Turn thee, to thy Jesus turn, See thy loving Savior nigh. 6. He comes His own to claim, He calls thee by thy name: Drooping soul, rejoice, rejoice, See Him there to life restored! Mary—know thy Savior’s voice, Hear it, and reply, My Lord.

In God, My Faithful God

Author: Sigismund Weingärtner; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.7.7.7.7 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In God, my faithful God, I trust when dark my road; Though many woes o’ertake me, Yet He will not forsake me; His love it is doth send them, And when ’tis best will end them. 2. My sins assail me sore, But I despair no more; I build on Christ who loves me, From this Rock nothing moves me, Since I can all surrender To Him, my soul’s Defender. 3. If death my portion be, Then death is gain to me, And Christ my Life for ever, From whom death cannot sever; Come when it may, He’ll shield me, To Him I wholly yield me. 4. Ah, Jesus Christ, my Lord, So meek in deed and word, Thou diedst once to save us, Because Thou fain wouldst have us After earth’s life of sadness Heirs of Thy heavenly gladness. 5. So be it, then I say, With all my heart each day; Guide us while here we wander, Till safely landed yonder, We too, dear Lord, adore Thee, And sing for joy before Thee.
