O thou, who hast redeemed of old

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 O thou, who hast redeemed of old, And bidd'st me of thy strength lay hold, And be at peace with thee, Help me thy benefits to own, And hear me tell what thou hast done, O dying Lamb! for me. 2 Love, only love, thy heart inclined, And brought thee, Saviour of mankind, Down from thy throne above; Love made my God a Man of grief, Distressed thee sore for my relief: Oh, mystery of love! 3 As thou hast loved and died for me So grant me, Saviour, love to thee, And gladly I resign Whate'er I have, whate'er I am: My life be all with thine the same, And all thy death be mine. Scripture: Isaiah 27:5

Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion's gate

Author: Crabbe Appears in 122 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion's gate; There, till mercy speaks within, Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait: Knock--he knows the sinner's cry; Weep--he loves the mourner's tears; Watch, for saving grace is nigh; Wait, till the heavenly grace appears. 2 Hark, it is the Saviour's voice! Welcome, pilgrim, to thy rest! Now within the gate rejoice, Safe, and owned, and bought, and blest: Safe from all the lures of vice; Owned by joys the contrite know; Bought by love, and life the price; Blessed the mighty debt to owe. 3 Holy pilgrim! what for thee In a world like this remains? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubts, and pains: Fear, the hope of heaven shall fly; Shame, from glory's view retire; Doubt, in full belief shall die; Pain, in endless bliss expire.

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 540 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you--Why? 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
