Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression
Author: Anon. Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression,
What will thy doom be when arrayed in terror?
God shall command thee, covered with pollution,
"Up to the judgment, up to the judgment?"
2 Oft he has called thee, but thou would'st not hear him;
Mercies and judgments have alike been slighted;
Yet he is gracious, and with arms unfolded
Waits to embrace you.
3 But if you trifle with his gracious message,
Cleave to the world, and love its guilty pleasures,
Mercy, grown weary, will in righteous judgment
Leave you forever.
4 Then you shall call, but he will not regard you;
Seek for his favor, yet will never find it;
Cry to the rocks to hide you from his presence
Deep in their caverns.
5 O! guilty sinner, hear the voice of warning;
Fly to the Saviour, and embrace his pardon:
So shall you meet him, and with joy triumphant,
Coming to judgment. Used With Tune: WARNING
Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression
I need thee, precious Jesus
Author: Frederick Whitefield Appears in 307 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 I need thee, precious Jesus,
For I am very poor;
A stranger and a pilgrim,
I have no earthly store.
2 I need the love of Jesus
To cheer me on my way,
To guide my doubting footsteps,
To be my strength and stay.
3 I need the heart of Jesus
To feel each anxious care,
To tell my every trial,
And all my sorrows share.
4 I need the Holy Spirit
To teach me what I am,
To show me more of Jesus,
To point me to the Lamb.
5 I need thee, precious Jesus,
I hope to see thee soon,
Encircled with the rainbow,
And seated on thy throne.
6 There, with thy blood-bought children,
My joy shall ever be
To sing thy praises, Jesus,
To gaze, my Lord, on thee! Used With Tune: MARIETTA
I need thee, precious Jesus
Sinner, art thou still secure?
Author: Anon. Appears in 177 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Sinner, art thou still secure?
Wilt thou still refuse to pray?
Can thy heart or hands endure
In the Lord's avenging day?
2 At his presence nature shakes;
Earth affrighted hastes to flee;
Solid mountains melt like wax;
What will then become of thee?
3 Who his advent may abide?
You that glory in your shame,
Will you find a place to hide,
When the world is wrapped in flame? Used With Tune: GRANNIS
Sinner, art thou still secure?
Come to the living waters, come!

Obey your Maker's call;
Return, ye weary wanderers, home;
My grace is free for all,
My grace is free for all.
2 Nothing ye in exchange shall give;
Leave all you have behind;
Freely the gift of God receive,
And peace in Jesus find.
3 I bid you all my goodness prove;
My promises are free:
Come, taste the manna of my love,
Delight your souls in me.
4 Your willing ear and thine incline,
My words in faith receive;
Quickened, your souls by faith divine,
Eternal life shall live. Used With Tune: HARVEY'S CHANT

All that I was, my sin, my guilt
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 All that I was my sin, my guilt,
My death was all my own;
All that I am I owe to thee,
My gracious God, alone.
2 The evil of my former state
Was mine, and only mine;
The good in which I now rejoice
Is thine, and only thine.
3 The darkness of my former state,
The bondage, all was mine;
The light of life in which I walk,
The liberty, is thine.
4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin;
It taught me to believe;
Then, in believing, peace I found,
And now I live, I live.
5 All that I am, even here on earth,
All that I hope to be,
When Jesus comes and glory dawns,
I owe it, Lord, to thee. Used With Tune: DENTON
All that I was, my sin, my guilt
'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord
Author: H. M. Butler (1833-1918) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Christ the Friend of Sinners Lyrics: 1 'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord,
and give to God our thanks with one accord;
it is our joy and duty, all our days
to lift our hearts in grateful thanks and praise.
2 Above the level of the former years,
the mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears,
the mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay —
O Lord of light, lift all our hearts today!
3 Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame,
the deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name,
the halting tongue that dares not tell the whole —
O Lord of truth, lift every Christian soul!
4 Above the storms that darken human life -
pride, jealousy and envy, rage and strife;
where cold mistrust holds friend and friend apart —
O Lord of love, lift every Christian heart!
5 Then, with the trumpet call as Christ appears,
'Lift up your hearts!' rings, pealing in our ears:
still shall our hearts respond with full accord —
'We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!' Used With Tune: YANWORTH
'Lift up your hearts!' We lift them to the Lord
O sinner, mark thy fate!
Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 O sinner, mark thy fate!
Soon will the Judge appear,
And then thy cries will come too late
Too late for God to hear.
2 The day of mercy gone,
The Spirit grieved away,
The cup, long filling, now o'erflown,
Demands the vengeful day.
3 Thy God, insulted, seems
To draw his glittering sword;
And o'er thy guilty head it gleams,
To vindicate his word.
4 One only hope I see;
O sinner, seize it now;
The blood that Jesus shed for thee!
No other hope hast thou. Used With Tune: GOLDEN HILL

Come, weary souls with sin distressed
Author: Anne Steele Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Come, weary souls with sin distressed,
Come, and accept the promised rest;
The Saviour's gracious call obey,
And cast your gloomy fears away.
2 Oppressed with guilt, a painful load,
O, come and spread your woes abroad!
Divine compassion, mighty love,
Will all the painful load remove.
3 Here mercy's boundless ocean flows,
To cleanse your guilt, and heal your woes;
Pardon, and life, and endless peace;
How rich the gift! how free the grace!
4 Lord, we accept, with thankful hearts,
The hopes thy gracious word imparts;
We come with trembling, yet rejoice,
And bless the kind, inviting voice.
5 Dear Saviour, let thy powerful love
Confirm our faith, our fears remove;
And sweetly influence every breast,
And guide us to eternal rest. Used With Tune: DESIRE

Lord, forgive me, day by day
Author: Josiah Conder Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 Lord, forgive me, day by day,
Debts I cannot hope to pay;
Duties I have left undone,
Evils I have failed to shun;
2 Trespasses in word or thought;
Deeds from evil motive wrought;
Cold ingratitude; distrust;
Thoughts unhallowed, or unjust.
3 Much forgiven, may I learn
Love for hatred to return;
Then assured my heart shall be
Thou, my God, hast pardoned me. Used With Tune: ALLETTA
Lord, forgive me, day by day
"Take up thy cross," the Saviour said
Author: Charles W. Everest Appears in 301 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 "Take up thy cross," the Saviour said,
"If thou wouldst my disciple be;
Deny thyself, the world forsake,
And humbly follow after me."
2 Take up thy cross; let not its weight
Fill thy weak spirit with alarm;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy heart and nerve thy arm.
3 Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame;
Nor let thy foolish pride rebel;
Thy Lord for thee the cross endured,
To save thy soul from death and hell.
4 Take up thy cross, then, in his strength,
And calmly every danger brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,
And lead to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow Christ;
Nor think till death to lay it down;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown. Used With Tune: DESIRE
"Take up thy cross," the Saviour said
