Thy knock, Thy mercy’s voice I hear, And open wide my heart sincere. I use the power my Lord doth give, And gladly now Thyself receive. 2 Enter with all Thy fullness in, And cast out this intruder's sin, Challenge Thy dear-bought property, And pleased with what Thou bringest to me, (The good which comes from Thee alone) Vouchsafe to banquet on Thine own. 3 Nothing have I to offer Thee But wretchedness and poverty: O would'st Thou in Thy fervant find The lowly, meek, and patient mind, Dispread Thine image o’er my breast, And on Thy own perfection feast. 4 Then should I with my Saviour sup, To the third heaven at last caught up, Obtain the bliss begun below, (The bliss I now would die to know) Sit down, O king of saints, with Thee, And feast to all eternity. AMEN. Used With Tune: ST CATHERINE

The Old Congenial Man of Sin

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Call to Salvation Lyrics: 1 The old congenial man of sin, Coeval with the fall we know, The entire depravity within, Whence all our endless evils flow; 2 Corrupt alas, through every part, No good, no help in us we have. But fly to Him with broken heart, Who died Himself our souls to save. 3 Nailed to the cross where Jesus bled, United with his sacrifice, (Not instantaneously struck dead) A lingering death our nature dies: 4 The death my Saviour bore for me, Exerts its mortifying power, Till nature gasping on the tree Is quite extinct, and stirs no more. 5 Whether by flow or swift degrees, The selfish and the proud desire, The Adam old shall surely cease, And the last breath of sin expire. 6 My actions, words, and thoughts impure, Sin's members, all destroyed shall be, And then of full salvation sure, I dwell in Christ, and Christ in me. AMEN. Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET

Forgive My Foes? It Cannot Be

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Call to Salvation Lyrics: 1 Forgive my foes? it cannot be: My foes with cordial love embrace? Fast bound in sin and misery, Unsaved, unchanged by hallowing grace, Throughout my fallen soul I feel With man this is impossible. 2 Great Searcher of the mazy heart, A thought from Thee I would not hide I cannot draw th'envenomed dart, Or quench this hell of wrath and pride. Jesus, till I Thy Spirit receive, Thou knowest, I never can forgive. 3 Come, Lord, and tame the tiger's force, Arrest the whirlwind in my will, Turn back the torrent's rapid course, And bid the headlong sun stand still, The rock dissolve, the mountain move, And melt my hatred into love. 4 Root out the wrath thou dost restrain; And when I have my Saviour's mind, I cannot render pain for pain, I cannot speak a word unkind, An angry thought I cannot know, Or count mine injurer my foe.

Ye Full, of Confidence Unfound

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Call to Salvation Lyrics: 1 Ye full, of confidence unfound, Ye rich, if gifts and faith untried, Whose joys which nature mixt abound, Self-praise, self-pleased, self-satisfied, Slight not your aged fathers poor, Nor boast your own salvation sure. 2 Ye talkers of your perfect love, Who kings, without your teachers, reign, As pillars in the church above, That never can go out again, Be warned; or pride will cast you down, And Satan rob you of your crown. 3 We wish your full perfection here, We wish your soothing dreams were true, That faith's almighty Finisher Had formed your sinless souls anew, Stablished, enthroned in lasting peace, In all the heights of holiness. 4 O were the fiend expelled indeed From all who fancy him expelled! Extirpated the sinful seed, Th'original wound completely healed, The kingdom in your hearts restored, And every servant as his Lord! 5 Then would your guides their charge attend With joy, and not with grief and pain, Your meek and lowly love commend, And sharers of your triumph reign. See all their flock o'er Jordan past, And enter into rest– the last. Used With Tune: EVANSTON
