Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore

Author: Hart Appears in 1,468 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and power: He is able, He is willing, doubt no more! 2 Ho! ye thirsty, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief, and true repentance-- Every grace that brings you nigh-- Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness he requireth Is to feel your need of him: This he gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's glimmering beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all; Not the righteous-- Sinners, Jesus came to call. 5 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Saviour prostrate lies! On the bloody tree behold him; Hear him cry, before he dies, It is finished! Sinners, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with his name; Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Scripture: Isaiah 45:22

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near

Author: Hastings Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 361 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded, the Saviour is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus thy God? A fountain is open, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For Mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb; Her message unheeded will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take his sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. 5 Delay not, delay not; the hour is at hand, The earth shall dissolve, the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner, will lend thee its aid?

God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live; He the fatal cause demands, Asks the work of his own hands-- Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love, and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you--Why? He, who did your souls retrieve, Died himself, that ye might live. Will ye let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransomed sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, the Spirit, asks you--Why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Urged you to embrace his love: Will ye not his grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? Oh, ye dying sinners! why, Why will ye for ever die? Scripture: Proverbs 1:23

Scripture: John 3:14-15

Haste, then, O Saviour! from above, Nor let thy chariot-wheels delay!

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!
