Thou art the Way; to thee alone

Author: Anon. Appears in 619 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Thou art the Way; to thee alone, From sin and death we flee; And he who would the Father seek Must seek him, Lord, by thee. 2 Thou art the Truth; thy word alone, True wisdom can impart; Thou only canst inform the mind, And purify the heart. 3 Thou art the Life; the rending tomb Proclaims thy conquering arm; And those who put their trust in thee, Nor death nor hell shall harm. 4 Thou art the Way, the Truth, the Life; Grant us that way to know, That truth to keep, that life to win, Whose joys eternal flow.

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Strait is the way, the door is strait, That leads to joys on high; 'Tis but a few that find the gate, While thousands pass it by. 2 Beloved self must be denied, The mind and will renewed, Passion suppressed, and patience tried, And vain desires subdued. 3 Lord! can a feeble, helpless worm Fulfill a task so hard? Thy grace must all my work perform, And give the free reward. Used With Tune: MELODY

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life; The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 How great the wisdom, power, and grace, Which in redemption shine!

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near!

Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 362 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation 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, and the heaven's shall fade, The dead, small and great, in the Judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner! will lend thee its aid?

Why do we waste on trifling cares

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Why do we waste on trifling cares That life which God's compassion spares, While in the various range of thought, The one thing needful is forgot? 2 Shall God invite us from above? Shall Jesus urge his dying love? Shall troubled conscience give us pain? And all these please unite in vain? 3 Not so our eyes will always view Those objects which we now pursue; Not so will heaven and hell appear, When death's decisive hour is near. 4 Almighty God, thy grace impart; Fix deep conviction on each heart; Nor let us waste on trifling care That life which thy compassion spares.
