Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
Author: Edmund Jones Appears in 711 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
A thousand thoughts revolve,
Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,
And make this last resolve:
2 I'll go to Jesus, though my sins
Like mountains round me close;
I know his courts, I'll enter in,
Whatever may oppose.
3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne,
And there my guilt confess;
I'll tell him, I'm a wretch undone
Without his sovereign grace.
4 Perhaps he will admit my plea,
Perhaps will hear my prayer;
But if I perish I will pray,
And perish only there. Used With Tune: BALERMA
Come, humble sinner, in whose breast
No peace to the wicked
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 283 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Awakening First Line: Sinners, the voice of God regard Scripture: Isaiah 57:20 Used With Tune: COVENTRY
No peace to the wicked
Awaked from sin's delusive sleep
Author: Thomas Moore Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Awaked from sin's delusive sleep,
My heavy guilt I feel, and weep;
Beneath a weight of woes oppressed,
I come to thee, my Lord, for rest.
2 Now, from thy throne of grace above,
Look down upon my soul in love;
That smile shall sweeten all my pain,
And make my soul rejoice again.
3 By thy divine, transforming power,
My ruined nature now restore;
And let my life and temper shine,
In blest resemblance, Lord, to thine. Used With Tune: HAMBURG
Awaked from sin's delusive sleep
Just as I am, without one plea
Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 2,208 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me,
And that thou bid'st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
2 Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
3 Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt
"Fightings within, and fears without,"
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
4 Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind,
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
5 Just as I am, thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
6 Just as I am, thy love I own
Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be thine, and thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Used With Tune: WOODWORTH
Just as I am, without one plea
Lord, we are vile, and full of sin
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, we are vile, and full of sin,
We're born unholy and unclean;
Spring from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts his race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant breath
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart,
But we're defiled in every part.
3 Behold, we fall before thy face;
Our only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make us clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.
4 Nor bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
Nor hyssop branch, nor earthly priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
5 Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone,
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make us white as snow;
No other tide can cleanse us so. Used With Tune: WINDHAM
Lord, we are vile, and full of sin
Broad is the road that leads to death
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 463 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death,
And thousands walk together there;
But wisdom shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.
2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross,
Is thy Redeemer's great command;
Nature must count her gold but dross,
If she would gain that heavenly land.
3 The fearful soul that tires and faints,
And walks the ways of God no more,
Is but esteemed almost a saint,
And make his own destruction sure.
4 Lord, let not all my hopes be vain,
Create my heart entirely new;
Let thy sweet Spirit me sustain,
O guide me all life's journey through. Used With Tune: WINDHAM
Broad is the road that leads to death
The Day-star from on high

The Day-star from on high
Return, O wanderer, return
Author: Wm. B. Collyer Appears in 537 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek thy Father's face;
Those new desires which in thee burn,
Were kindled by his grace.
2 Return, O wanderer, return,
He hears thy humble sigh;
He sees thy softened spirit mourn,
When no one else is nigh.
3 Return, O wanderer, return;
Thy Saviour bids thee live;
Come to his cross, and, grateful, learn
How freely he'll forgive.
4 Return, O wanderer, return,
And wipe the falling tear;
Thy Father calls no longer mourn;
'Tis love invites thee near.
5 Return, O wanderer, return;
Regain thy long-sought rest;
The Saviour's melting mercies yearn
To clasp thee to his breast. Used With Tune: BALERMA
Return, O wanderer, return
Art thou weary, heavy-laden?
Author: Dr. J. M. Neale, 1818-1866; St. Stephen the Sabaite, d. 794 Appears in 653 hymnals Topics: Sinners Invited Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, heaven-laden?
Art thou sore distrest?
"Come to Me," said One, "and
Be at rest."
2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him,
If He be my Guide?
"In His feet and hands are wound-prints,
And His side."
3 Hath He diadem, as Monarch,
That His brow adorns?
"Yes, a crown, in very surety,
But of thorns."
4 If I find Him, if I follow,
What His guerdon here?
"Many a sorrow, many a labour,
Many a tear."
5 If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
"Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
Jordan past."
6 If I ask Him to receive me,
Will He say me nay?
"Not till earth, and not till heaven
Pass away."
7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling,
Is He sure to bless?
Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs,
Answer, "Yes."
Used With Tune: STEPHANOS

And death is nigh.
