With tearful eyes I look around

Author: White Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 292 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 With tearful eyes I look around; Life seems a dark and stormy sea; Yet midst the gloom I hear a sound, A heavenly whisper, Come to me! 2 It tells me of a place of rest; It tells me where my soul may flee: Oh, to the weary, faith, oppressed, How sweet the bidding, Come to me! 3 Come, for all else must fail and die; Earth is no resting-place for thee; To heaven direct thy weeping eye; I am thy portion: Come to me! 4 O voice of mercy, voice of love! In conflict, grief, and agony, Support me, cheer me from above, And gently whisper, Come to me! Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Author: Montgomery Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinner, ruined by the fall! Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all-- In a full, perpetual tide, Opened when our Saviour died. 2 Come, in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind! Here the guilty, free remission, Here the troubled, peace may find; Health this fountain will restore, He that drinks shall thirst no more. 3 He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break his covenant in blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when he was glorified. Scripture: Joel 3:18

Come, trembling sinner, in whose breast

Author: Jones Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 713 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, trembling 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. 5 I can not perish if I go: I am resolved to try; For if I stay away, I know I must for ever die. Scripture: 2 Kings 7:3-5

Scripture: Proverbs 27:1

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent! Break, by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood; Sinful soul, what has thou done? Murdered God's eternal Son! 2 Yes, our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fixed him there; Crowned with thorns his sacred head, Pierced him with a soldier's spear; Made his soul a sacrifice; For a sinful world he dies. 3 Will you let him die in vain? Still to death pursue your Lord? Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood? No! with all my sins I'll part: Saviour, take my broken heart.

Men of God, go take your stations

Author: Kelly Appears in 138 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Men of God, go take your stations; Darkness reigns throughout the earth: Go proclaim among the nations Joyful news of heavenly birth; Bear the tidings Of the Saviour's matchless worth. 2 Go to men in darkness sleeping, Tell that Christ is strong to save; Go to men in bondage weeping; Publish freedom to the slave: Tell the dying, Christ has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 What though earth and hell united Should oppose the Saviour's reign; Plead his cause to souls benighted; Fear ye not the face of men: Vain their tumult, Earth and hell will rage in vain. 4 When exposed to fears and dangers, Jesus will his own defend; Borne afar 'midst foes and strangers, Jesus will appear your friend, And his presence Shall be with you to the end.

My Savior, how shall I proclaim

Author: J. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, how shall I proclaim, How pay the mighty debt I owe? Let all I have, and all I am, Ceaseless to all thy glory show. 2 Too much to thee I can not give; Too much I can not do for thee; Let all thy love, and all thy grief, Graven on my heart for ever be. 3 The meek, the still, the lowly mind, Oh, may I learn from thee, my God! And love, with softest pity joined, For those that trample on thy blood! 4 Still let thy tears, thy groans, thy sighs O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast; Till, loose from flesh and earth, I rise, And ever in thy bosom rest. Scripture: Job 38:7
