Penitence
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Christ in Song #126 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance Returning to God First Line: Jesus, let thy pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Jesus, let thy pitying eye
Call back a wand'ring sheep;
False to thee, like Peter, I
Would fain like Peter, weep.
Speak the reconciling word,
And let thy mercy melt me down;
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
2 Saviour, Prince, enthroned above,
Repentance to impart,
Give me, thro' thy dying love,
The humble, contrite heart;
Give what I have long implor'd,
A portion of thy grief unknown;
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
3 For thine own compassion's sake,
The gracious wonder show;
Cast my sins behind thy back,
And wash me white as snow:
If thy pity now is stirr'd,
If now I do myself bemoan,
Turn, and look upon me, Lord,
And break my heart of stone.
4 Clothe me with thy holiness,
Thy meek humility;
Put on me thy glorious dress
Endue my soul with thee:
Let thine image be restor'd,
Thy name and nature let me prove;
Fill me with thy fulness, Lord,
And perfect me in love.

Decisive Day
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Christ in Song #127 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance Decision Day First Line: The great decisive day is at hand Lyrics: 1 The great decisive day is at hand, is at hand!
The great decisive day is at hand;
The day when Christ will come,
To call his children home,
And to seal the sinner's doom, is at hand, is at hand;
And to seal the sinner's doom, is at hand.
2 Those who made his crown of thorns will be there, will be there!
Those who made his crown of thorns will be there!
Those who smote him with the reed
Upon his sacred head,
And made his temples bleed, will be there, will be there;
And made his temples bleed, will be there.
3 Where will the sinner hide in that day, in that day?
Where will the sinner hide in that day?
It will be in vain to call,
"Ye mountains on us fall,"
For his hand will find out all In that day, in that day;
For his hand will find out all in that day.

Oh, Don't You Hear Him Knocking?
Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #128 (1898) Topics: Invitation First Line: A hand all bruised and bleeding is knocking at the door Refrain First Line: Oh, don't you hear him knocking, knocking at the door? Lyrics: 1 A hand all bruised and bleeding is knocking at the door,
Is knocking at the door of your heart;
It is the hand of Jesus, who long has knocked before,
Tho' oft have told him to depart.
Chorus:
Oh, don't you hear him knocking, knocking at the door?
He's knocking at the door to come in;
He wants an invitation to cross your threshold o'er,
Then Jesus will save you from all sin.
2 How often when in sickness, your body racked with pain,
This knocking has resounded in your ears;
How often in the night time the knock would come again,
So loud it would fill your soul with fears. [Chorus]
3 While standing by the casket of some departed friend,
With sorrow your poor heart was sick and sore;
What caused that train of thinking of how your life would end?
That hand was then knocking at the door. [Chorus]
4 Why will you keep him knocking? why won't you let him in?
He'll overflow your pathway with delight;
That hand so torn and bleeding will wash away your sin,
Oh, welcome the Saviour in tonight. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [A hand all bruised and bleeding is knocking at the door]
Oh, Don't You Hear Him Knocking?
He Is Calling
Author: Faber Hymnal: Christ in Song #128 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy Refrain First Line: He is calling, "Come to me;" 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.
Refrain:
He is calling, "Come to me;"
Lord, I gladly follow thee!
2 There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good;
There is mercy with the Saviour;
There is healing in his blood. [Refrain]
3 There's no place where earthly sorrows
Are more felt than up in heav'n;
There's no place where earthly failings
Have such kindly judgment giv'n. [Refrain]
4 For the love of God is broader
Than the measure of man's mind;
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind. [Refrain]
5 But we make his love too narrow,
By false limits of our own;
And we magnify his strictness
With a zeal he will not own. [Refrain]
6 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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [There's a wideness in God's mercy]

Nothing But Leaves
Author: L. E. A. Hymnal: Christ in Song #131 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves
O'er years of wasted life;
O'er sins indulged while conscience slept,
O'er vows and promises unkept,
And reap from years of strife
Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves!
2 Nothing but leaves! No gathered sheaves
Of life's fair ripening grain:
We sow our seeds; lo! tares and weeds,
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds,
Then reap, with toil and pain,
Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves!
3 Nothing but leaves! Sad mem'ry weaves
No vail to hide the past;
And as we trace our weary way,
And count each lost and misspent day,
We sadly find at last
Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves.
4 Ah, who shall thus The Master meet,
And bring but withered leaves?
Ah, who shall at the Saviour's feet,
Before the awful judgment seat
Lay down for golden sheaves,
Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! Languages: English Tune Title: [Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves]

When Jesus is near.

When Jesus is near?
Peace and pardon now receive,
When Jesus is near.
He will not your pray'r refuse,
Come and now the Saviour choose;
Heaven is not far away,
When Jesus is near.
3 Are you coming home to-day?
When Jesus is near?
Do not longer stay away,
When Jesus is near.
Cast your burdens on the Lord,
He has promised in his word
Heaven is not far away,
When Jesus is near. Languages: English Tune Title: [Heaven is not far away]

There Is a Fountain
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Christ in Song #146 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: There is a fountain fill'd with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plung'd beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty stains,
And sinners plung'd beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains.
2 The dying thief rejoiced to see,
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away,
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
3 Thou dying Lamb! thy precious blood
Shall never lose its pow'r,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Are saved to sin no more.
Are saved to sin no more,
Are saved to sin no more.
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Are saved to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die.
5 Lord, I believe thou hast prepared,
Unworthy though I be,
For me a blood-bought, free reward
Eternal life for me.
6 There in a nobler, sweeter song,
I'll sing thy pow'r to save,
When this poor lisping, stam'ring tongue
Is ransom'd from the grave.

Author: Mary S. B. Dana Hymnal: Christ in Song #147 (1908) Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: Flee as a bird to your mountain Lyrics: 1 Flee as a bird to your mountain,
Thou who art weary of sin;
Go to the clear-flowing Fountain,
Where you may wash and be clean;
Fly, for th' avenger is near thee,
Call, and the Saviour will hear thee,
He on his bosom will bear thee,
O thou who art weary of sin,
O thou who art weary of sin.
2 He will protect thee forever,
Wipe ev'ry falling tear;
He will forsake thee, oh, never,
Sheltered so tenderly there!
Haste, then, the daylight is flying,
Spend not the moments in sighing,
Cease from your sorrow and crying,
The Saviour will wipe ev'ry tear,
Yes, Jesus will wipe ev'ry tear. Languages: English Tune Title: [Flee as a bird to your mountain]
