O Turn Ye

Author: Rev. Josiah Hopkins Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 393 hymnals Topics: Means of Grace Gospel Invitation First Line: O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die? Lyrics: 1. O turn ye, O turn ye, for why will ye die? When God, in great mercy, is coming so nigh? Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says Come! And angels are waiting to welcome you home. 2. How vain the delusion, that while you delay Your hearts may grow better, your chains melt away. Come guilty, come wretched, come just as you are; All helpless and dying, to Jesus repair. 3. The contrite in heart He will freely receive, O why will you not the glad message believe? If sin be your burden, why will you not come? 'Tis you He makes welcome, He bids you come home. Amen.

I Could Not Do Without Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Lyrics: 1 I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose wondrous love redeemed me, At such tremendous cost; Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, Thy precious blood, must be My only hope and comfort, My glory and my plea. 2 I could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone, I have no strength or goodness, No wisdom of my own; But Thou, beloved Savior, Art all in all to me, And weakness will be power If leaning hard on Thee. 3 I could not do without Thee, For years are fleeting fast, And soon in solemn loneness The river must be passed; But Thou wilt never leave me, And though the waves roll high, I know Thou wilt be near me, And whisper, It is I.

Amen. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE
