God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands,-- Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you--Why? He who did your souls retrieve, Died himself that ye might live. Will ye let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you--Why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Urged you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners! why, Will ye grieve your God, and die?

God's Welcome

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 902 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Scripture: Psalm 18:35 Used With Tune: ERIE

'Tis thine, almighty Spirit! thine, To form the heart anew. 3 'Tis thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason's darkened eyes;-- 4 To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live; A beam of heaven, a vital ray, 'Tis thine alone to give. 5 Oh, change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine; Then shall our passions and our powers, Almighty Lord! be thine.
