Art thou Weary, art thou Languid

Author: J. M. Neale Appears in 639 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest? “Come to Me,” saith One, “and, coming, Be at rest.” 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my guide? “In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side.” 3 Is there diadem, as monarch, That His brow adorns? “Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns.” 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? “Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear.” 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What has He at last? “Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed.” 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? “Not till earth and not till heaven Pass away.” 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? “Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes.” Used With Tune: BULLINGER

Beneath the Cross of Jesus

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Appears in 520 hymnals Topics: Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand, The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within the wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat, And the burden of the day. 2 Upon the cross of Jesus, Mine eye at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me. And from my smitten heart with tears, These wonders I confess, - The wonder of His glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of His face; Content to let the world go by, To know no gain or loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all the cross. Used With Tune: ST. CHRISTOPHER

Almost Persuaded

Bliss Appears in 733 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance First Line: "Almost persuaded" Lyrics: 1 “Almost persuaded” Now to believe; “Almost persuaded” Christ to receive; Seems now some soul to say, “Go, Spirit, go Thy way, Some more convenient day On Thee I’ll call.” 2 “Almost persuaded” Come, come today; “Almost persuaded” Turn not away; Jesus invites you here, Angels are ling’ring near, Prayers rise from hearts so dear: O wanderer, come. 3 “Almost persuaded,” Harvest is past! “Almost persuaded,” Doom comes at last! “Almost” cannot avail; “Almost” is but to fail! Sad, sad, that bitter wail-- “Almost--but lost!" Used With Tune: ALMOST PERSUADED

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance First Line: Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain Lyrics: 1 Come to Calv'ry's holy mountain, Sinners, 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 Savior died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white; Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 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. 4 He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break His covenant of blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when He was glorified.

Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my pray'r I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God, most high! With that lost prodigal I fain, Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite pray'r; Oh, Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

O calm of hills above! There Jesus met you prayerfully: the silence of eternity, interpreted by love. 4 Drop your still dews of quietness, till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess the beauty of your peace. 5 Breathe through the pulses of desire your coolness and your balm; Let sense be numb, let flesh retire; speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? Confide in thy God, let Him win thee! Still hope in thy God, Him extol! For surely once dawneth a morrow, When, freed from thy care and thy sorrow, Thou praises shalt sing to thy God. 3 His light and His truth, they shall lead me In peace to His temple at last; I rest on His Word, he will speed me, And conflict and sorrow are past; Yea, joyful I anthems will raise Him, With heart and with voice will I praise Him-- My health and my life and my God.
