The voice of free grace cries, "Escape to the mountain!"

Author: Richard Burdsall Meter: 12.12.12.12 Appears in 411 hymnals Topics: Accepted Time Lyrics: 1 The voice of free grace cries, "Escape to the mountain!" For Adam's lost race Christ hath opened a fountain: For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Chorus: Hallelujah to the Lamb! He hath bought us our pardon, We'll praise Him again when we pass over Jordan, We'll praise Him again when we pass over Jordan. 2 Ye souls that are wounded! oh, flee to the Saviour! He calls you in mercy--'tis infinite favor; Your sins are increasing--escape to the mountain-- His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain, His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain. [Chorus] 3 O Jesus! ride onward, triumphantly glorious, O'er sin, death, and hell, Thou art more than victorious; Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation. [Chorus] 4 With joy shall we stand, when escaped to that shore; With harps in our hands, we'll praise Him the more; We'll range the sweet plains on the bank of the river, And sing of salvation for ever and ever, And sing of salvation for ever and ever. [Chorus] Amen. Used With Tune: CLARKE'S

Author: Thomas Moore; Thomas Hastings Appears in 1,089 hymnals Topics: Accepted Time Lyrics: 1 Come, you disconsolate, where'er you languish, Come, at the mercy-seat, fervently kneel: Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, Light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure, Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure. Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrows that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, boundless in love; Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has its sorrows but heaven can remove. Come to the feast prepared; come, ever knowing Earth has its sorrows but heaven can remove. Amen. Used With Tune: ALMA

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 365 hymnals Topics: Accepted Time Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near; The waters of life are now flowing for thee! No price is demanded, the Savior is here. Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not; The Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. Amen. Used With Tune: GOSHEN

A lovely youth falling short of heaven

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals 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. Scripture: Mark 10:21

Adoration and Submission

Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Salvation Accepted Time of First Line: Now with joyful exultation Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation Let us sing Jehovah's praise; To the Rock of our salvation Loud hosannas let us raise; Thankful tribute gladly bringing, Let us come before Him now, And, with psalms His praises singing, Joyful in His presence bow. 2 For, how great a God, and glorious, Is Jehovah Whom we sing; Over idol-gods victorious, Great is He, our God and King. In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with rev'rence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment should declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

How short and hasty is our life!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Accepted Time Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our life! How vast our souls' affairs! Yet senseless mortals vainly strive To lavish out their years, To lavish out their years. 2 Our days run thoughtlessly along, Without a moment's stay; Just like a story, or a song We pass our lives away, We pass our lives away. 3 God from on high invites us home, But we march heedless on, And ever hastening to the tomb, Stoop downwards as we run, Stoop downwards as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest hell, That slight the joys above! What chains of vengeance should we feel, That break such cords of love! That break such cords of love! 5 Draw us, O Saviour, with Thy grace, And lift our thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal race, And see salvation nigh, And see salvation nigh. Amen. Used With Tune: MORAVIAN
