Author: Crabbe Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion's gate; There, till mercy speaks within, Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait: Knock--he knows the sinner's cry; Weep--he loves the mourner's tears; Watch, for saving grace is nigh; Wait, till the heavenly grace appears. 2 Hark, it is the Saviour's voice! Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest! Now within the gate rejoice, Safe, and owned, and bought, and blest: Safe from all the lures of vice; Owned by joys the contrite know; Bought by love, and life the price; Blessed the mighty debt to owe. 3 Holy pilgrim! what for thee In a world like this remains? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubts, and pains: Fear, the hope of heaven shall fly; Shame, from glory's view retire; Doubt, in full belief shall die; Pain, in endless bliss expire.

No terror shall thy hopes annoy; No tear, except the tear of joy. 5 Sovereign of souls! thou Prince of peace! Oh, may thy gentle reign increase; Throw wide the door, each willing mind! And be his empire all mankind! Scripture: Ephesians 4:30

On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, It is finished! Sinners, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name; Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Scripture: Isaiah 45:22
