Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 538 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Sinners, turn, why will ye die? Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you--Why? God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands,-- Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you--Why? He who did your souls retrieve, Died himself that ye might live. Will ye let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you--Why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Urged you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners! why, Will ye grieve your God, and die?

Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night? 3 Our God in pity lingers still; And wilt thou thus his love requite? Renounce at length thy stubborn will; Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night? 4 Our blessed Lord refuses none Who would to him their souls unite; Then be the work of grace begun: Thou wouldst be saved; why not to-night?

[Refrain] 3 Love brings the glorious fullness in, And to his saints makes known The blessed rest from inbred sin, Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain] 4 Believing souls, rejoicing go; There shall to you be given A glorious foretaste, here below, Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain] 5 Of victory now o'er Satan's power Let all the ransomed sing, And triumph in the dying hour Through Christ the Lord our King. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 14:1 Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE

Psalm 63

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 387 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Early, my God, without delay Lyrics: 1 Early, my God, without delay, I haste to seek thy face; My thirsty spirit faints away, Without thy cheering grace. 2 I've seen thy glory and thy power Through all thy temples shine; My God, repeat that heavenly hour, That vision so divine. 3 Not life itself, with all its joys, Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As thy forgiving love. 4 Thus, till my last expiring day, I'll bless my God and King; Thus will I lift my hands to pray, And tune my lips to sing.

God's Welcome

Author: Frederick W. Faber Appears in 900 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: There's a wideness in God's mercy 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. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his blood. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. 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. Scripture: Psalm 18:35 Used With Tune: ERIE

One Thing needful

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Why will ye waste on trifling cares Lyrics: 1 Why will ye waste on trifling cares That life which God's compassion spares? While, in the various range of thought, The one thing needful is forgot? 2 Shall God invite you from above? Shall Jesus urge his dying love? Shall troubled conscience give you pain? And all these please unite in vain? 3 Not so your eyes will always view Those objects which you now pursue; Not so will heaven and hell appear, When death's decisive hour is near. 4 Almighty God! thy grace impart; Fix deep conviction on each heart: Nor let us waste on trifling cares That life which thy compassion spares.
