Exhortation to Prayer

Author: Cowper Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLIII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Encouragement to prayer First Line: What various hindrances we meet Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy-seat! Yet who that knows the worth of prayer But wishes to be often there? 2 Prayer makes the darkened clouds withdraw, Prayer climes the ladder Jacob saw; Gives exercise to faith and love, Brings every blessing from above. 3 Restraining prayer we cease to fight; Prayer makes the Christian's armor bright; And Satan trembles, when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees. 4 While Moses stood with arms spread wide, Success was found on Israel's side; But when thro' weariness they fail'd, That moment Amalek prevail'd. 5 Have you no words? ah, think again, Words flow apace when you complain, And fill a fellow-creature's ear With the sad tale of all your care. 6 Were half the breath thus vainly spent, To Heaven in supplication sent; Your cheerful song would oft'ner be, "Hear what the Lord has done for me."

Yet there is Room

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXVIII (1792) Topics: Encouragement and invitation First Line: Ye dying sons of men Lyrics: 1 Ye dying sons of men, Immerg'd in sin and woe, The gospel’s voice attend, While Jesus sends to you: Ye perishing and guilty come, In Jesus’ arms there yet is room. 2 No longer now delay, Nor vain excuses frame; He bids you come to-day, Tho' poor, and blind, and lame: All things are ready, sinners, come, For every trembling soul there’s room. 3 Believe the heavenly word His messengers proclaim; He is a gracious Lord, And faithful is his name: Backsliding souls, return and come, Cast off despair there yet is room. 4 Compell'd by bleeding love, Ye wand'ring sheep, draw near, Christ calls you from above, His charming accents hear! Let whosoever will, now come: In mercy’s breast there still is room. Scripture: Luke 14:22 Languages: English

Comfort to such who seek a risen Jesus

Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXLIV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Encouragement and invitation To such who seek a risen Jesus First Line: Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord, Chase all your fears away: And bow with pleasure down to see The place where Jesus lay. 2 Thus low the Lord of life was brought: Such wonders love can do: Thus cold in death that bosom lay, Which throbb'd and bled for you. 3 A moment give a loose to grief, Let grateful sorrows rise; And wash the bloody stains away, With torrents from your eyes. 4 Then dry your tears, and tune your songs, The Savior lives again; Not all the bolts and bars of death The Conqueror could detain. 5 High o'er th' angelic bands he rears His once dishonor'd head; And thro' unnumber'd years he reigns, Who dwelt among the dead. 6 With joy like his shall every saint His empty tomb survey; Then rise, with his ascending Lord, To realms of endless day.

Whosover will, let him come

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CXXI (1792) Topics: Encouragement and invitation First Line: Ye scarlet-color'd sinners, come Lyrics: 1 Ye scarlet colour'd sinners, come; Jesus the Lord invites you home; O whither can you go? What— are your crimes of crimson hue? His promise is for ever true, He'll wash you white as snow. 2 Backsliding souls, fill'd with your ways, Whose weeping nights, and wretched days, In bitterness are spent: Return to Jesus— he'll reveal His lovely face, and sweetly heal What you so much lament. 3 Tried souls! look up—he says 'Tis I— He loves you still, but means to try If faith will bear the test; The Lord has giv'n the chiefest good, He shed for you his precious blood; O trust him for the rest! 4 Ye tender souls, draw hither too, Ye grateful, highly favor'd few, Who feel the debt you owe; Press on, the Lord hath more to give; By faith upon him daily live, And you shall find it so.

They scorn to serve the King of kings-- O living God, how long? They scorn to serve the King of kings-- O living God, how long? 3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart by grace to be your own: let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne; let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne. 4 While many pray that you will bless and bring them all they need, unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed; unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain indeed. 5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive; your face within us shine, for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine; for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine. 6 And even when I turn to sleep your blessings still increase, for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace; for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace.
