Awake, awake, each sluggish soul!

Author: Heginbotham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, each sluggish soul! Awake, and view the setting sun! See how the shades of death advance, Ere half the task of life is done. 2 Soon will he close our drowsy eyes, Nor shall we hear these warnings more; Soon will the mighty Judge approach: E'en now he stands before the door! 3 O Saviour! let these awful scenes Be ever present to our view; Teach us to gird our loins about, And trim our dying lamps anew. 4 Then, when the king of terror comes, Our souls shall hail the happy day. Haste, then, O Saviour! from above, Nor let thy chariot-wheels delay!

Here the guilty, free remission, Here the troubled, peace may find; Health this fountain will restore, He that drinks shall thirst no more. 3 He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break his covenant in blood, Signed when our Redeemer died, Sealed when he was glorified.

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore

Author: Hart Appears in 1,480 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and power: He is able, He is willing, doubt no more! 2 Ho! ye thirsty, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief, and true repentance-- Every grace that brings you nigh-- Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness he requireth Is to feel your need of him: This he gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's glimmering beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous-- Sinners, Jesus came to call. 5 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies! 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

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near

Author: Hastings Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 361 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded, the Saviour is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus thy God? A fountain is open, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For Mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb; Her message unheeded will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take his sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. 5 Delay not, delay not; the hour is at hand, The earth shall dissolve, the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner, will lend thee its aid?

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent! Break, by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood; Sinful soul, what has thou done? Murdered God's eternal Son! 2 Yes, our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fixed him there; Crowned with thorns his sacred head, Pierced him with a soldier's spear; Made his soul a sacrifice; For a sinful world he dies. 3 Will you let him die in vain? Still to death pursue your Lord? Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood? No! with all my sins I'll part: Saviour, take my broken heart.
