God Calling Yet

Author: Jane Borthwick Appears in 430 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: God calling yet! shall I not hear? Lyrics: 1 God calling yet! shall I not hear? Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear? Shall life's swift passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie? 2 God calling yet! shall I not rise? Can I his loving voice despise, And basely his kind care repay? He calls me still; can I delay? 3 God calling yet! and shall he knock, And I my heart the closer lock? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare his Spirit grieve? 4 God calling yet! and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but he does not forsake: He calls me still; my heart, awake! 5 God calling yet! I cannot stay; My heart I yield without delay; Vain world, farewell! from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart. Used With Tune: WELTON

On the Cross

Appears in 112 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance First Line: Behold, behold the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Behold, behold the Lamb of God, On the cross, on the cross; For you He shed His precious blood, On the cross, on the cross; O hear His agonizing cry, "Eloi, lama, sabachthani," Draw near, and see your Saviour die, On the cross, on the cross. 2 Behold His arms extended wide, On the cross, on the cross; Behold His bleeding hands and side, On the cross, on the cross; The sun withholds his rays of light, The heav'ns are clothed in shades of night. While Jesus doth for sinners fight, On the cross, on the cross. 3 And now the mighty deed is done, On the cross, on the cross; The battle fought, the vict'ry won, On the cross, on the cross; "'Tis finished," now the Saviour cries; To heav'n He turns His languid eyes; Then bows His sacred head, and dies, On the cross, on the cross. 4 Where e'er I go, I'll tell the story Of the cross, of the cross; In nothing else my soul shall glory, Save the cross, save the cross; And this my constant theme shall be, Thro' time and in eternity, That Jesus shed His blood for me, On the cross, on the cross. Used With Tune: [Behold, behold the Lamb of God]
