Not the righteous, Not the righteous, Sinners, Jesus came to call. 4 View Him prostrate in the garden, Lo! your Maker prostrate lies; On the bloody tree behold Him; Hear Him cry before He dies: "It is finished!" "It is finished!" Sinner, will not this suffice? 5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude: None but Jesus, None but Jesus, Can do helpless sinners good.

A Sinner Like Me

Author: C. J. B. Appears in 132 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted First Line: I was once far away from the Saviour Lyrics: 1 I was once far away from the Saviour, And as vile as a sinner could be; I wondered if Christ, the Redeemer, Could save a poor sinner like me. 2 I wandered on in the darkness, Not a ray of light could I see, And the tho't filled my heart with sadness, There's no help for a sinner like me. 3 And then in that dark, lonely hour, A voice sweetly whispered to me, Saying Christ, the Redeemer, has power To save a poor sinner like me. 4 I listened, and lo! 'twas the Savior Who was speaking so kindly to me; I cried, I'm the chief of sinners, Oh, save a poor sinner like me. 5 I then fully trusted in Jesus, And, oh, what a joy came to me! My heart was filled with his praises, For saving a sinner like me. 6 No longer in darkness I'm walking, For the light is now shining on me, And now unto others I'm telling How he saved a poor sinner like me. 7 And when life's journey is over, And I the dear Saviour shall see, I'll praise him for ever and ever, For saving a sinner like me.

Not in Anger, Mighty God

Author: Miss C. Winkworth; J. G. Albinus Appears in 14 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Not in anger, mighty God, Not in anger smite us. We must perish if Thy rod Justly should requite us. We are naught, Sin hath brought, Lord, Thy wrath upon us, Yet have mercy on us! 2 Show me now a Father's love, And His tender patience, Heal my wounded soul, remove These too sore temptations; I am weak, Father, speak Thou of peace and gladness, Comfort Thou my sadness. 3 Hence, ye foes! He comes in grace, God hath deigned to hear me; I may come before His face, He is inly near me; He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished, In whose bonds I languished. 4 Father, hymns to Thee we raise, Here and once in heaven; And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven! Evermore We adore Thee whose love hath stirred us, And whose pity heard us. Used With Tune: TRAEDER NU TIL HERRENS BORD

There is a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 917 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Lyrics: 1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea: There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior; There is healing in His blood. 2 There is no place where earth’s sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth’s failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

Bliss Appears in 775 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

Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 In vain thou strugglest to get free; I never will unloose my hold; Art thou the Man that died for me? The secret of thy love unfold; Wrestling, I will not let thee go, Till I thy name, thy nature know. Used With Tune: SELENA

Each who comes to Thee, Thou hast made us willing, Thou hast made us free. By Thy grand redemption, By Thy grace Divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we are Thine. 4 Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King's own army None can overthrow: Round His standard ranging, Vict'ry is secure; For His truth unchanging Makes the triumph sure; Joyfully enlisting By Thy grace Divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we are Thine.

Refrain: Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee! 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But in lowly birth didst Thou come to earth And in great humility. Refrain: Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee! 3 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word, That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. Refrain: Oh, come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee! 4 When heav'n's arches shall ring, and her choirs shall sing, At Thy coming to victory; May Thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." Refrain: My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest me. Used With Tune: MARGARET

Tho' I've wandered far from his fold, Bringing to my heart pain and woe, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow. Chorus: Whiter than the snow, Whiter than the snow, Wash me in the blood of the Lamb, And I shall be whiter than snow. 2 Thorny was the crown that he wore, And the cross his body o'er came; Grievous were the sorrows he bore, But he suffered thus not in vain. May I to the Fountain be led, Made to cleanse my sins here below; Wash me in the blood that he shed, And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus] 3 Father, I have wandered from thee, Often has my heart gone astray: Crimson do my sins seem to me, Water cannot wash them away. Jesus, to that Fountain of thine, Leaning on thy promise I go; Cleanse me by thy washing divine, And I shall be whiter than snow. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Blessed be the Fountain of blood]
