The Saviour's love will ne'er grow faint

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:1-11 Lyrics: 1 The Saviour's love will ne'er grow faint, Toward the sons of men; His gracious ear hears their complaints, Their cries are not in vain. 2 He prov'd himself the sovereign Lord, And gave the world to know: What wonders his commanding word; In ev'ry case can do. 3 He pitied man, that helpless worm, Thus lying in his blood; What acts of love does he perform, To make him know his God. 4 The helpless, needy and the poor, Alike receiv'd his aid; And all were made to know his pow'r, Who his commands obey'd. 5 Wht would my Saviour do for me, If I would state my case; Could I expect that I would be An object of his grace? 6 How many would be my complaints, Could I but know in part; My chief diseases and my wants, And evils of my heart. 7 At all events I will presume, To venture near his throne; Since Jesus bids all sinners come And learn what he has done.

Ye sons of men, come one and all!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:16-24 Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of men, come one and all! Come to the Gospel feast; Obey your blessed Saviours call: O come and be his guest! 2 We bear his message unto you, Commission'd by the Lord-- His promises, come prove them true, And trust unto his word. 3 All things for you are ready now, And precious is the treat! And all you need he will bestow, To make your joys complete. 4 We pray that you may all draw near, And to the call attend; They who refuse our call to hear, Cannot be Jesus' friend. 5 Nothing pertaining to this life, Should cause you to delay-- Not Land or Oxen, or a wife, Keep you from Christ away. 6 Be ye not like the stubborn Jews, Who all his calls disdain'd! Because they did his grace refuse! His curse on them remain'd. 7 He calleth not the Jews alone, But all who will receive; Come poor and needy, ev'ry one Come ye to him and live. 8 But some ye, mow make no delay! O come with speed and haste: Lest he should in displeasure say-- My feast ye shall not taste. Topics: Second Sunday after Trinity

On the bloody tree behold Him! Hear Him cry before He dies: "It is finished, it is finished!" Sinners, will not this suffice? "It is finished, it is finished!" Sinners, will not this suffice? 4 Lo! the rising Lord ascending, Pleads the virtue of His blood; Venture on Him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus, none but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good; None but Jesus, none but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 5 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Chant the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with His name; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same; Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same.

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,310 hymnals Scripture: Luke 14:27 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my All shalt be. Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen.
