Sinners, turn; why will ye die?

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #289 (1870) Topics: Long-suffering of God Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you why-- God, who did your being give, Made you with Himself to live. 2 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you why-- He who did your souls retrieve, He who died, that ye might live. 3 Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why Will you slight His grace, and die! 4 Sinners, turn; why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you why-- He who all your lives hath strove, Wooed you to embrace His love. 5 Will ye not His grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? O ye dying sinners, why Will ye grieve your God, and die! Languages: English

Lord, and am I yet alive

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #341 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Long-suffering of God Lyrics: 1 Lord, and am I yet alive, Not in torments, not in hell! Still doth thy good Spirit strive!-- With the chief of sinners dwell! Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 2 Yes, I still lift up mine eyes, Will not of thy love despair; Still in spite of sin I rise, Still I bow to thee in prayer. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 3 O the length and breadth of love! Jesus, Saviour, can it be! All thy mercy's height I prove, All the depth is seen in me. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 4 See a bush, that burns with fire, Unconsum'd amid the flame! Turn aside the sight t'admire, I the living wonder am. Tell it unto sinners, tell, I am, I am out of hell! 5 See a stone that hangs in air! See a spark in ocean live! Kept alive with death so near, I to God the glory give: Ever tell--to sinners tell, I am, I am out of hell!

Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name.

O Zion, if I e'er forget thy woe, Let my right hand its skill no longer know. 4 Yea, let my tongue, i pray, all silent be, If I do not alway remember thee; If I prefer not thee, thought in thy grief, Above all other joys my very chief.
