Mercy for the chief of sinners
Only a Sinner
Author: James M. Gray Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Sinner First Line: Naught have I gotten but what I received Refrain First Line: Only a sinner saved by grace! Lyrics: 1 Naught have I gotten but what I received;
Grace hath bestowed it since I have believed;
Boasting excluded pride I abase;
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
Chorus:
Only a sinner saved by grace!
Only a sinner saved by grace!
This is my story, to God be the glory, -
I'm only a sinner saved by grace!
2 Once I was foolish, and sin ruled my heart,
Causing my footsteps from God to depart;
Jesus hath found me happy my case;
I now am a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus]
3 Tears unavailing, no merit had I;
Mercy had saved me, or else I must die;
Sin had alarmed me fearing God's face;
But now I'm a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus]
4 Suffer a sinner whose heart overflows,
Loving his Savior to tell what he knows,
Once more to tell it would I embrace -
I'm only a sinner saved by grace! [Chorus]
Used With Tune: [Naught have I gotten but what I received]

Art thou weary, heavy laden?
Author: Dr. J. M Neale, 1818-1866; St. Stephen the Sabaite, d. 794 Appears in 653 hymnals Topics: Sinners Invited Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, heaven-laden?
Art thou sore distrest?
"Come to Me," said One, "and
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 Hath He diadem, as Monarch,
That His brow adorns?
"Yes, 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 labour,
Many a tear."
5 If I still hold closely to Him,
What hath He at last?
"Sorrow vanquished, labour ended,
Jordan past."
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
Art thou weary, heavy laden?

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
Author: John Newton Appears in 1,492 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Will be forever mine. Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

To-day the Saviour calls

Ye wanderers come;

Why longer roam?

O listen now;
Within these sacred walls,
To Jesus bow.

For mercy flee;
For all the guilty soon
Must guilty be.
4 To-day the Saviour calls!
For refuge fly;
The storms of vengeance falls;
Ruin is nigh.
5 The Spirit calls to-day!
Yield to its power;
O grieve it not away;
'Tis mercy's hour.
Used With Tune: TO-DAY
To-day the Saviour calls
