Where mercy spreads her bounteous store, For every humble guest. 2 See, Jesus stands with open arms; he calls, he bids you come; Guilt holds you back and fear alarms; But see, there yet is room: 3 Room in the Saviour's bleeding heart; There love and pity meet; Nor will he bid the soul depart, That trembles at his feet. 4 In him the Father reconcil'd, Invites your souls to come; The rebel shall be call'd a child, And kindly welcom'd home. 5 O come, and with his children taste The blessings of his love; While hope attends the sweet repast Of nobler joys above. 6 There, with united heart and voice, Before th' eternal throne, Ten thousand thousand souls rejoice, In ecstacies unknown. 7 And yet ten thousand thousand more, Are welcome still to come: Ye longing souls, the grace adore, Approach, there yet is room.

True and false zeal

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXXVII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Zeal is that pure and heav'nly flame Lyrics: 1 Zeal is that pure and heav'nly flame, The fire of love supplies; While that which often bears the name, Is self in a disguise. 2 True zeal is merciful and mild, Can pity and forbear; The false is headstrong, fierce and wild, And breathes revenge and war. 3 While zeal for truth the Christian warms, He knows the worth of peace; But self contends for names and forms, Its party to increase. 4 Zeal has attain'd its highest aim, Its end is satisfy'd; If sinners love the Saviour's name, Nor seeks it ought beside. 5 But self however well employ'd, Has its own ends in view; And says as boasting Jehu cry'd, "Come see what I can do." 6 Self may its poor reward obtain, And be applauded here; But zeal the best applause will gain, When Jesus shall appear. 7 Dear Lord, the idol self dethrone, And from our hearts remove; And let no zeal by us be shown, But that which springs from love.

Are there few that shall be saved?

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXXXIX (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Destruction's dangerous road Lyrics: 1 Destruction's dangerous road What multitudes pursue! While that which leads the soul to God, Is know or sought by few. 2 Believes find the way Thro' Christ the living gate; But those who hate this holy way Complain it is too strait. 3 If self must be deny'd, And sin no more caress'd, They rather choose the way that's wide, And strive to think it best. 4 Encompass'd by a throng, On numbers they depend; They say so many can't be wrong, And miss a happy end. 5 But hear the Saviour's word, "Strive for the heavn'ly gate, many will call upon the Lord, And find their crys too late." 6 Obey the gospel call And enter while you may; The flock of Christ is always small, And none are safe but they. 7 Lord, open sinners' eyes, Their awful state to see; And make them, ere the storm arise, To thee for safety flee.
