How They Sing Up Yonder!
Author: H. E. Jones Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:7 First Line: When the sinner turns from sin Refrain First Line: How they sing up yonder Lyrics: 1 When the sinner turns from sin,
How they sing up yonder!
Comes to Christ sweet place to win,
How they sing up yonder!
Asks for cleansing in the blood,
Sinks beneath the healing flood,
Rises, cleansed and owned of God,
How they sing up yonder!
2 When the wand’rer seeks his home,
How they sing up yonder!
Just a servant to be become,
How they sing up yonder!
Leaves the byways cold and bare,
Seeks again a father’s care,
All His wealth of love to share,
How they sing up yonder!
3 Brother, would you join the song,
In the home up yonder?
Sing while ages roll along,
In the home up yonder?
Then forsake the paths so cold,
Fly to Jesus and His fold,
That your name may be enrolled,
In the home up yonder! Topics: Praise Used With Tune: [When the sinner turns from sin]

Jesus, poor sinners will receive
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, poor sinners will receive,
And make them welcome too;
He calls on them to come and live!
I am a friend to you.
2 He eats and drinks, and treats with them,
On gracious terms of peace;
And they who firmly b'lieve on him,
Shall know his pard'ning grace.
3 He seeks them as poor wand'ring sheep,
Who e'er and go astray;
And by his providence will keep,
Them in the righteous way.
4 He calls them with a loving voice,
And wishes them to come;
And angels too with him rejoice!
To see them turning home.
5 He seeks the lost till they are found,
He saves and sets them free;
His heart with pure desires abound,
Their happiness to see.
6 O why should sinners dread or fear?
On Jesus to attend--
Who calls on them to bring them near,
To him, their Lord and friend.

A Long-Lost Lamb
O God, Our Creator, You Work Every Day
Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Luke 15:3-7 Lyrics: O God, our Creator, you work every day:
A potter, you form us, your people, like clay.
A shepherd, you guide us and seek out the lost.
A parent, you love us, not counting the cost.
Christ Jesus, how rough were your hard-working hands!
You labored among us; our God understands!
Bless workers who struggle, their families to feed;
Bless those who face hardship, oppression, or greed.
Lord, some live among us who need constant care,
Whose work is to make us more humbly aware.
They teach us the best of your lessons, by far:
It’s not what we do, Lord, you love who we are!
We’re baptized! Your Spirit gives new work to do,
That we, through our serving, may glorify you.
Each person’s vocation, each calling, has worth
As you send us out to bring Christ’s love on earth.
