Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,483 hymnals Topics: Doubt and Fear Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love, and power; He is able, He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him; This he gives you; This he gives you; 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all. 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.

There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,424 hymnals Topics: Cast Out Fear Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, where saints immortal reign; infinite day excludes the night, and pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, and never-with'ring flow'rs; death, like a narrow sea, divides this heav'nly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood stand dressed in living green; so to the Jews old Canaan stood, while Jordan rolled between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink to cross this narrow sea; and linger, shiv'ring, on the brink, and fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, those gloomy doubts that rise, and see the Canaan that we love with unbeclouded eyes; 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, and view the landscape o'er, not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, should fright us from the shore.

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,148 hymnals Topics: Fear Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps in the sea and rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines of never failing skill, he treasures up his bright designs and works his sovereign will. 3 You fearful saints, fresh courage take; the clouds you so much dread are big with mercy and shall break in blessings on your head. 4 His purposes will ripen fast, unfolding every hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, but sweet will be the flower. 5 Blind unbelief is sure to err and scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter, and he will make it plain.
