"Call them in;" the poor, the wretched

Author: Miss Anna Shipton Appears in 73 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:23 Lyrics: 1 "Call them in;" the poor, the wretched, Sin-stained wand'rers from the fold; Peace and pardon freely offer; Can you weigh their worth with gold? "Call them in," the weak, the weary, Laden with the doom of sin; Bid them come and rest in Jesus; He is waiting; "call them in." 2 "Call them in;' the Jew, the Gentile; Bid the stranger to the feast; "Call them in," the rich, the noble, From the highest to the least: Forth the Father runs to meet them, He hath all their sorrows seen; Robe, and ring, and royal sandals, Wait the lost ones; "call them in." 3 "Call them in;" the more professors, Slumbering, sleeping, on death's brink; Nought of life are they possessors, Yet of safety vainly think; Bring them in; the careless scoffers, Pleasure seekers of the earth: Tell of God's most gracious offers, And of Jesus' priceless worth. 4 "Call them in;" the broken-hearted, Cow'ring 'neath the brand of shame; Speak Love's message low and tender, "'Twas for sinners Jesus came:" See, the shadows lengthen round us, Soon the day-dawn will begin; Can you leave them lost and lonely? Christ is coming; "call them in." Topics: Bible Songs Missionary Songs Used With Tune: CALL THEM IN

Good King Wenceslas

Author: John M. Neale Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:13-14 First Line: Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen Lyrics: 1 Good King Wenceslas looked out on the Feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even. Brightly shone the moon that night, though the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel. 2 “Hither, page, and stand by me, if you know it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he lives a good league hence, underneath the mountain, Right against the forest fence, by Saint Agnes’ fountain.” 3 “Bring me food and bring me wine, bring me pine logs hither, You and I will see him dine, when we bear them thither.” Page and monarch, forth they went, forth they went together, Through the cold wind’s wild lament and the bitter weather. 4 “Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger, Fails my heart, I know not how; I can go no longer.” “Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread now in them boldly, You shall find the winter’s rage freeze your blood less coldly.” 5 In his master’s steps he trod, where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod which the saint had printed. Therefore, Christian men, be sure, while God’s gifts possessing, You who now will bless the poor shall yourselves find blessing.
