Christ bids us knock and enter in

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Christ bids us knock and enter in; Come unto him, and rest from sin, The blessing seek and find; He bids us ask his grace, and have; Thou canst, thou wouldst, this moment save Both me and all mankind. 2 Shut up in unbelief, I groan, And blindly serve a God unknown, Till thou the veil remove; The gift unspeakable impart, And write thy Name upon my heart, And manifest thy love.

Author: Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 630 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Behold! a Stranger's 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 Admit him; for the human breast Ne'er entertained so kind a guest; Admit him; or the hour's at hand When at his door denied you'll stand. 4 Art thou a weeper? grief shall fly; For who can weep with Jesus by? No terror shall thy hopes annoy; No tear, except the tear of joy. 5 Sovereign of souls! thou Prince of peace! Oh, may thy gentle reign increase; Throw wide the door, each willing mind! And be his empire all mankind! Scripture: Ephesians 4:30

Author: Montgomery Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Fair shines the morning star: The silver trumpets sound, Their notes re-echoing far, While dawns the day around: Joy to the slave; the slave is free; It is the year of jubilee. 2 Prisoners of hope, in gloom And silence left to die, With Christ's unfolding tomb, Your portals open fly: Rise with your Lord, he sets you free; It is the year of jubilee. 3 Ye, who yourselves have sold For debts to justice due, Ransomed, but not with gold, He gave himself for you! The blood of Christ hath made you free; It is the year of jubilee. 4 Captives of sin and shame, O'er earth and ocean, hear An angel's voice proclaim The Lord's accepted year; Let Jacob rise, be Israel free; It is the year of jubilee.
