Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King

Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Come see the Pow'r of Christ our King When on the Cross the Saviour hung, His Grace a dying Thief did bring, To own him with his Heart and Tongue. 2 Our Malefactor scorn'd Christ's Name, The other did his Sin reprove; Then said by Faith to God's dear Lamb, "Remember me O Lord above." 3 What noble Faith in him appear'd, That he could trust a dying Lord! He soon the blessed Jesus heard pronounce this sweet reviving Word; 4 "Amen, this Day thy Soul shall be "With me in Paradise above." This made the dying Pris'ner free; These Words were full of boundless Love. 5 What Comfort did this Speech convey, To his poor guilty wretched Mind! When thus he heard the Saviour say, Great Peace the Criminal did find. 6 Thus Jesus Christ forgave the Thierf, And shew'd great Mercy to the Man; So in the midst of Woe and Grief, His Joy and Happiness began. 7 O how he sings the Saviour's Praise, Who took him at the very last, When he his youthful Strength and Days In Satan's Cause had spent and past! 8 Now he adores God's holy Name, And stands before the Saviours Face; And will eternally proclaim The boundless Riches of his Grace! Scripture: Luke 23:39-43

Disciples of Christ

And then took away The Sin we had done; And in it endured The Wrath to us due, The Curse we incurred, Our Stripes and our Woe. 3 Not only he dy'd, But also arose; Laid Weakness aside, And over his Foes, (Sin, Death, and the Devil,) He triumph'd, and o'er This World, and all Evil, Dominion and Pow'r. 4 O merciful Lamb, Who sits on the Throne, We bow at thy Name, The Saviour we own, Deserving our Blessing, And Blessing we'll give, Without ever ceasing, So long as we live.

Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings

Appears in 807 hymnals Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation ot Praise and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Rise, my Soul, and stretch thy Wings, Thy better Portion Trace; Rise from Transitory Things, Tow'rds Heav'n, thy native Place; Sun, and Moon, and Stars decay, Time shall soon this Earth remove; Rise, my Soul, and haste away To Seats prepar'd above. 2 Rivers to the Ocean run, Nor stay in all their Course; Fire ascending seeks the Sun, Both speed them to their Source; To a Soul that's born of GOD, Pants to view his glorious Face; Upward tends to his Abode, To rest in his Embrace. 3 Fly the Riches, fly me Cares; While I that Coast explore; Flattering World, with all thy Snares, Solicit me no more. Pilgrims fix not here their Home; Strangers tarry but a Night, When the last dear Morn is come, They'll rise to joyful Light. 4 Cease, ye Pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the Prize; Soon our Saviour will return, Triumphant in the Skies: Yet a Season, and you know Happy Entrance will be giv'n, All our Sorrows left below, And Earth exchang'd for Heav'n.

Jesus is waiting and Calling, is calling now for thee. 2 Still undecided, why yet still delay? All things are ready, Love shows you the way, Night fast approaches, the day passes by, Heed now His pleading:—“O why will you die?” [Chorus] 3 Still undecided! for thee He was slain, And why should His suff'ring for thee be in vain? Think of the scourging, the spear and the cross! Life He would give you,—all else is but loss. [Chorus] 4 Still undecided! His voice sounds so clear: “Come all ye who weary who falter and fear, Freely I pardon, and cleanse and receive!” Why not accept Him and on Him believe? [Chorus] 5 Still undecided! O wait not too long; O turn from the world and its wild, restless throng; Jesus now calls you—once more doth He call— Come while He’s waiting, and trust Him for all.
