"Come unto Me, ye weary"

Author: William Chatterton Dix Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 252 hymnals Topics: Evangelistic Services Lyrics: 1 "Come unto Me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." O blessed voice of Jesus, Which comes to hearts oppressed! It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto Me, ye wanderers,, And I will give you light." O loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night! Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way; But He hath brought us gladness And songs, the break of day. 3 "Come unto Me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." O cheering voice of Jesus, Which comes to aid our strife! The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made us mighty And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast him out." O welcome voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt; Which calls us, very sinners, Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless, To come, dear Lord, to Thee! Amen.

In the cross of Christ I glory

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1,520 hymnals Topics: Evangelistic Services Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'er take me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me: Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more luster to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide. 5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. Amen. Used With Tune: RATHBUN

O Love that wilt not let me go

Author: Rev. George Matheson Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: Evangelistic Services Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from Thee; I lay in dust life's glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be. Amen. Used With Tune: ST. MARGARET

Death hath no more sting nor pain: Christ receiveth sinful men. Amen. Used With Tune: BERLIN

Who is on the Lord's side

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Appears in 451 hymnals Topics: Evangelistic Services Lyrics: 1 Who is on the Lord's side? Who will serve the King? Who will be His helpers, Other lives to bring? Who will leave the world's side? Who will face the foe? Who is on the Lord's side? Who for Him will go? By Thy call of mercy, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we are Thine. 2 Not for weight of glory, Not for crown and palm, Enter we the army, Raise the warrior psalm; But for Love that claimeth Lives for whom He died: He whom Jesus nameth Must be on His side. By Thy love constraining, By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we are Thine. 3 Fierce may be the conflict, Strong may be the foe, But the King's own army None can overthrow: Round His standard ranging, Victory is secure; For His truth unchanging Makes the triumph sure. Joyfully enlisting By Thy grace divine, We are on the Lord's side, Saviour, we are Thine. Amen. Used With Tune: ARMAGEDDON
