Fresh from the Throne of Glory
Come hither, all ye weary souls
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 323 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come hither, all ye weary souls,
Ye heavy-laden sinners, come;
I'll give you rest from all your toils,
And raise you to my heavenly home.
2 They shall find rest, who learn of me:
I'm of a meek and lowly mind;
But passion rages like the sea,
And pride is restless as the wind.
3 Blessed is the man whose shoulders take
My yoke, and bear it with delight;
My yoke is easy to the neck,
My grace shall make the burden light.
4 Jesus, we come at thy command;
With faith, and hope, and humble zeal,
Resign our spirits to thy hand,
To mould and guide us at thy will. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30
Come hither, all ye weary souls
Come to the ark, come to the ark
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals 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.
Come to the ark, come to the ark
The Spirit, in our hearts
Author: Onderdonk Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 428 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 The Spirit, in our hearts,
Is whispering, Sinner, come!
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
The Spirit, in our hearts
The swift-declining day
Author: Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals 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.
The swift-declining day
When this passing world is done
Author: McCheyne Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 147 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 When this passing world is done,
When has sunk yon glorious sun;
When we stand with Christ in glory,
Looking o'er life's finished story,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know--
Not till then--how much I owe!
2 When I hear the wicked call
On the rocks and hills to fall;
When I see them start and shrink,
On the fiery deluge brink,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know--
Not till then--how much I owe!
3 When I stand before the throne,
Clothed in beauty not my own;
When I see thee as thou art,
Love thee with unsinning heart,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know--
Not till then--how much I owe!
4 When the praise of heaven I hear,
Loud as thunders to the ear,
Loud as many waters' noise,
Sweet as harp's melodious voice,
Then, Lord, shall I fully know--
Not till then--how much I owe!
Scripture: Romans 8:12
When this passing world is done
With tearful eyes I look around
Author: White Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 292 hymnals 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
With tearful eyes I look around
Behold! a Stranger's at the door!
Author: Grigg Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 610 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
Behold! a Stranger's at the door!
Come, sinner, to the gospel feast; Oh, come without delay
Author: Huntingdon Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises Lyrics: 1 Come, sinner, to the gospel feast;
Oh, come without delay;
For there is room in Jesus' breast
For all who will obey.
2 There's room in God's eternal love
To save thy precious soul;
Room in the Spirit's grace above
To heal and make thee whole.
3 There's room within the church, redeemed
With blood of Christ divine;
Room in the white-robed throng, convened
For that dear soul of thine.
4 There's room in heaven among the choir,
And harps and crowns of gold,
And glorious palms of victory there,
And joys that ne'er were told.
5 There's room around thy Father's board
For thee, and thousands more:
Oh, come and welcome to the Lord;
Yea, come this very hour.
Come, sinner, to the gospel feast; Oh, come without delay
Sinners! will you scorn the message
Author: Allen Appears in 288 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Sinners! will you scorn the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Every sentence, oh, how tender!
Every line is full of love.
Listen to it!
Every line is full of love.
2 Hear the heralds of the Gospel,
News from Zion's King proclaim,
To each rebel sinner, Pardon,
Free forgiveness in his name.
How important!
Free forgiveness in his name.
3 Who hath our report believed?
Who received the joyful word?
Who embraced the news of pardon
Offered to you by the Lord?
Can you slight it?
Offered to you by the Lord.
4 Oh, ye angels hovering round us!
Waiting spirits, speed your way;
Hasten to the court of heaven,
Tidings bear without delay;
Rebel sinners
Glad the message will obey.
Scripture: Isaiah 55:12
Sinners! will you scorn the message
