Broad is the road that leads to death

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #818 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveler. 2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross, Is the Redeemer's great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the way of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4 Lord! let not all my hopes be vain; Create my heart entirely new,-- Which hypocrites could ne'er attain; Which false apostates never knew. Scripture: Isaiah 1:16-17

Hasten, sinner! to be wise

Author: T. Scott Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #819 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hasten, sinner! to be wise; Stay not for the morrow's sun: Wisdom, if thou still despise, Harder is it to be won. 2 Hasten mercy to implore; Stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest thy season should be o'er, Ere this evening's stage be run. 3 Hasten, sinner! to return; Stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest thy lamp should cease to burn, Ere salvation's work is done. 4 Hasten, sinner! to be blest; Stay not for the morrow's sun, Lest perdition thee arrest Ere the morrow is begun. Scripture: Proverbs 27:1

Awake, awake, each sluggish soul!

Author: Heginbotham Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #821 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, each sluggish soul! Awake, and view the setting sun! See how the shades of death advance, Ere half the task of life is done. 2 Soon will he close our drowsy eyes, Nor shall we hear these warnings more; Soon will the mighty Judge approach: E'en now he stands before the door! 3 O Saviour! let these awful scenes Be ever present to our view; Teach us to gird our loins about, And trim our dying lamps anew. 4 Then, when the king of terror comes, Our souls shall hail the happy day. Haste, then, O Saviour! from above, Nor let thy chariot-wheels delay!

Hearts of stone, relent, relent!

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #823 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent! Break, by Jesus' cross subdued; See his body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood; Sinful soul, what has thou done? Murdered God's eternal Son! 2 Yes, our sins have done the deed, Drove the nails that fixed him there; Crowned with thorns his sacred head, Pierced him with a soldier's spear; Made his soul a sacrifice; For a sinful world he dies. 3 Will you let him die in vain? Still to death pursue your Lord? Open tear his wounds again, Trample on his precious blood? No! with all my sins I'll part: Saviour, take my broken heart.

The swift-declining day

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #828 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 The swift-declining day, How fast its moments fly! While evening's broad and gloomy shade Gains on the western sky. 2 Ye mortals! mark its pace, And use the hours of light; For know, its Maker can command At once eternal night. 3 Give glory to the Lord, Who rules the whirling sphere; Submissive at his footstool bow, And seek salvation there. 4 Then shall new luster break Through death's impending gloom, And lead you to unchanging light, In your celestial home.

Ye wretched, starving poor!

Author: Steele Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #831 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched, starving poor! Behold a royal feast! Where mercy spreads her bounteous store For every humble guest. 2 Jesus, with open arms, Is calling you to come; Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms; But see, there yet is room. 3 Room in the Saviour's heart; There love and pity meet; Nor will he bid the soul depart That trembles at his feet. 4 The Father, reconciled, Invites your souls to come; The rebel shall be called a child, And find in Christ a home. Scripture: Isaiah 44:22

The Spirit, in our hearts

The bride, the church of Christ, proclaims To all his children, Come! 2 Let him that heareth say To all about him, Come! Let him that thirsts for righteousness, To Christ, the fountain, come. 3 Yes, whosoever will, Oh, let him freely come, And freely drink the stream of life; 'Tis Jesus bids him come. 4 Lo! Jesus, who invites, Declares, I quickly come: Lord, even so! we wait thine hour; O blest Redeemer, come! Scripture: Revelation 22:17

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

Author: Crabbe Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #838 (1873) 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.

With tearful eyes I look around

Author: White Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #839 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 With tearful eyes I look around; Life seems a dark and stormy sea; Yet midst the gloom I hear a sound, A heavenly whisper, Come to me! 2 It tells me of a place of rest; It tells me where my soul may flee: Oh, to the weary, faith, oppressed, How sweet the bidding, Come to me! 3 Come, for all else must fail and die; Earth is no resting-place for thee; To heaven direct thy weeping eye; I am thy portion: Come to me! 4 O voice of mercy, voice of love! In conflict, grief, and agony, Support me, cheer me from above, And gently whisper, Come to me! Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

Come to the ark, come to the ark

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #840 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come to the ark, come to the ark; To Jesus come away: The pestilence walks forth by night, The arrows fly by day. 2 Come to the ark: the waters rise, The seas their billows rear; While darkness gathers o'er the skies, Behold a refuge near! 3 Come to the ark, all, all that weep Beneath the sense of sin: Without, deep calleth unto deep, But all is peace within. 4 Come to the ark, ere yet the flood Your lingering steps oppose; Come, for the door which open stood Is now about to close.
