Life is the time to serve the Lord
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 353 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t' insure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God has given
To escape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace; and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue;
Since no device, nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
4 There are no acts of pardon past
In the cold grave to which we haste;
But darkness, death, and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there. Scripture: Proverbs 1:24-32
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Make room for Jesus! room, sad heart
Author: Alex. Clark Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Make room for Jesus! room, sad heart,
Beguiled and sick of sin;
Bid every alien guest depart,
And rise and let him in.
2 Make room for Jesus! room, make room!
His hand is at the door;
He comes to banish guilt and gloom,
And bless thee more and more.
3 Make room for Jesus! soul of mine,
He waits response to-day;
His smile is peace; his grace, divine,--
O turn him not away!
4 Make room for Jesus! by and by,
'Midst saint and seraphim,
He'll welcome to his throne on high
The soul that welcomed him.
Make room for Jesus! room, sad heart
Men of God, go take your stations
Author: Kelly Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Men of God, go take your stations;
Darkness reigns throughout the earth:
Go proclaim among the nations
Joyful news of heavenly birth;
Bear the tidings
Of the Saviour's matchless worth.
2 Go to men in darkness sleeping,
Tell that Christ is strong to save;
Go to men in bondage weeping;
Publish freedom to the slave:
Tell the dying,
Christ has triumphed o'er the grave.
3 What though earth and hell united
Should oppose the Saviour's reign;
Plead his cause to souls benighted;
Fear ye not the face of men:
Vain their tumult,
Earth and hell will rage in vain.
4 When exposed to fears and dangers,
Jesus will his own defend;
Borne afar 'midst foes and strangers,
Jesus will appear your friend,
And his presence
Shall be with you to the end.
Men of God, go take your stations
My Savior, how shall I proclaim
Author: J. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 My Saviour, how shall I proclaim,
How pay the mighty debt I owe?
Let all I have, and all I am,
Ceaseless to all thy glory show.
2 Too much to thee I can not give;
Too much I can not do for thee;
Let all thy love, and all thy grief,
Graven on my heart for ever be.
3 The meek, the still, the lowly mind,
Oh, may I learn from thee, my God!
And love, with softest pity joined,
For those that trample on thy blood!
4 Still let thy tears, thy groans, thy sighs
O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast;
Till, loose from flesh and earth, I rise,
And ever in thy bosom rest. Scripture: Job 38:7
My Savior, how shall I proclaim
Retire, vain world, awhile retire
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Retire, vain world, awhile retire,
And leave us with the Lord:
Thy gifts ne'er fill one just desire,
Nor lasting bliss afford.
2 Behold and pity from above
Our cold and languid frame;
Oh! shed abroad thy quick'ning love,
And we'll adore thy name.
3 Make known thy power, victorious King,
Subdue each stubborn will;
Then sovereign grace we'll join to sing
On Zion's sacred hill.
Retire, vain world, awhile retire
Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills
Author: Turner Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 100 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Beyond the starry skies,
Far as the eternal hills,
There, in boundless world of light,
Our great Redeemer dwells.
2 Around him angels fair,
In countless armies shine;
And ever in exalted lays
They offer songs divine.
3 Hail, Prince of life! they cry,
Whose unexampled love
Moved thee to quit those glorious realms
And royalties above.
4 And when he stooped to earth,
And suffered rude disdain,
They cast their honors at his feet,
And waited in his train.
5 They saw him on the cross,
While darkness veiled the skies;
And when he burst the gates of death,
They saw the Conqueror rise.
6 They thronged his chariot wheels,
And bore him to his throne;
They swept their golden harps, and sung--
The glorious work is done!
Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills
Come to the ark, come to the ark
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come to the ark, come to the ark;
To Jesus come away:
The pestilence walks forth by night,
The arrows fly by day.
2 Come to the ark: the waters rise,
The seas their billows rear;
While darkness gathers o'er the skies,
Behold a refuge near!
3 Come to the ark, all, all that weep
Beneath the sense of sin:
Without, deep calleth unto deep,
But all is peace within.
4 Come to the ark, ere yet the flood
Your lingering steps oppose;
Come, for the door which open stood
Is now about to close.
Come to the ark, come to the ark
The Spirit, in our hearts
Author: Onderdonk Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 430 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 The Spirit, in our hearts,
Is whispering, Sinner, come!
The bride, the church of Christ, proclaims
To all his children, Come!
2 Let him that heareth say
To all about him, Come!
Let him that thirsts for righteousness,
To Christ, the fountain, come.
3 Yes, whosoever will,
Oh, let him freely come,
And freely drink the stream of life;
'Tis Jesus bids him come.
4 Lo! Jesus, who invites,
Declares, I quickly come:
Lord, even so! we wait thine hour;
O blest Redeemer, come! Scripture: Revelation 22:17
The Spirit, in our hearts
The swift-declining day
Author: Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 125 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 The swift-declining day,
How fast its moments fly!
While evening's broad and gloomy shade
Gains on the western sky.
2 Ye mortals! mark its pace,
And use the hours of light;
For know, its Maker can command
At once eternal night.
3 Give glory to the Lord,
Who rules the whirling sphere;
Submissive at his footstool bow,
And seek salvation there.
4 Then shall new luster break
Through death's impending gloom,
And lead you to unchanging light,
In your celestial home.
The swift-declining day
Weary sinner, keep thine eyes
Author: Toplady Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 45 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Weary sinner, keep thine eyes
On th' atoning Sacrifice;
view him bleeding on the tree,
Pouring out his life for thee.
2 Surely Christ thy griefs hath borne;
Weeping soul, no longer mourn:
Now by faith the Son embrace,
Plead his promise, trust his grace.
3 Cast thy guilty soul on him;
Find him mighty to redeem:
At his feet thy burden lay;
Look thy doubts and care away.
4 Lord, come thou with power to heal;
Now thy mighty arm reveal:
At thy feet myself I lay;
Take, oh, take my sins away! Scripture: John 3:14-15
Weary sinner, keep thine eyes
