"At the door"
Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Behold a Stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door!
He gently knocks, has knocked before,
Has waited long, is waiting still;
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 Oh, lovely attitude! he stands
With melting heart and laden hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and he shows
This matchless kindness to his foes.
3 But will he prove a friend indeed?
He will, the very friend you need--
The Friend of sinners; yes, 'tis he,
With garments dyed on Calvary.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine,
Turn out his enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in. Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Used With Tune: BERA

To die on Calvary.

The risen Son of God;
Redemption by his death I find,
And cleansing through the blood. [Refrain]

And to his saints makes known
The blessed rest from inbred sin,
Through faith in Christ alone. [Refrain]
4 Believing souls, rejoicing go;
There shall to you be given
A glorious foretaste, here below,
Of endless life in heaven. [Refrain]
5 Of victory now o'er Satan's power
Let all the ransomed sing,
And triumph in the dying hour
Through Christ the Lord our King. [Refrain] Scripture: Psalm 14:1 Used With Tune: WONDROUS LOVE

God Our Only Good
Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Access to God; Access to God First Line: O God, how good Thou art Lyrics: 1 O God, how good Thou art
To all the pure of heart,
Tho' life seems vain;
Burdened with anxious care,
I groped in dark despair,
Till in Thy house of prayer
All was made plain.
2 Ever, O Lord, with Thee,
All shall be well with me,
Held by Thy hand;
And Thou wilt guide my feet
By Thy own counsel sweet,
Till I, for glory meet,
In glory stand.
3 In earth or heav'n above
Who is there that I love
Compared with Thee?
My heart may faint with fears,
But God my strength appears,
And will to endless years
My portion be.
4 O it is good that I
May still to God draw nigh,
As oft before;
The Lord Jehovah blest,
My refuge and my rest,
Shall be in praise confessed
For evermore. Scripture: Psalm 73 Used With Tune: OLIVET

One Thing needful
Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 203 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Why will ye waste on trifling cares Lyrics: 1 Why will ye 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 you from above?
Shall Jesus urge his dying love?
Shall troubled conscience give you pain?
And all these please unite in vain?
3 Not so your eyes will always view
Those objects which you 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 cares
That life which thy compassion spares. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Used With Tune: SEASONS

I haste to seek thy face;
My thirsty spirit faints away,
Without thy cheering grace.
2 I've seen thy glory and thy power
Through all thy temples shine;
My God, repeat that heavenly hour,
That vision so divine.
3 Not life itself, with all its joys,
Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As thy forgiving love.
4 Thus, till my last expiring day,
I'll bless my God and King;
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing. Scripture: Psalm 63:1 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

And here will I delight to dwell.

For Zion's good, the Lord hat said;

Her saints shall shout with joy divine,

His glory in His Church shall shine.

True Blessedness

My supplication hear;
Almighty and all-faithful,
Our fathers' God, give ear;
Our shield and great defender,
No longer hide Thy face,
But look upon Thy servant,
Anointed by Thy grace.
2 In Thy blest courts to worship,
My God, a single day
Is better than a thousand
While far from Thee I stray;
Tho' in a lowly station,
the service of my Lord
I choose above all pleasures
That sinful ways afford.
3 A sun and shield forever
Is God, the Lord Most High;
To those who walk uprightly
No good will He deny;
His saints, His grace receiving,
Shall soon His glory see;
O Lord of Hosts, most blessed
Are they that trust in Thee.

And Thou hast been form foes around
The tow'r to which I flee.
Within Thy house will I abide;

On me the heritage conferred
of those that fear Thy Name;
A blest anointing Thou dost give,
And Thou wilt make me ever live
Thy praises to proclaim.

O God,Thy truth and grace provide
To guard me in the way;
So I will make Thy praises known,
And, humbly bending at Thy throne,
My vows will daily pay. Scripture: Psalm 61 Used With Tune: MERIBAH

A fountain opened
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Access to God First Line: Come to Calvary's holy mountain Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain,
Sinners, ruined by the fall!
Here a pure and healing fountain
Flows to you, to me, to all,--
In a full, perpetual tide,
Opened when our Saviour died.
2 Come, in sorrow and contrition,
Wounded, impotent, and blind!
Here the guilty, free remission,
Here the troubled, peace may find;
Health this fountain will restore,
He that drinks shall thirst no more--
3 He that drinks shall live for ever;
'Tis a soul-renewing flood:
God is faithful; God will never
Break his covenant in blood,
Signed when our Redeemer died,
Sealed when he was glorified. Scripture: Isaiah 12:3 Used With Tune: LIFE
