Let the Wicked forsake his Ways

Author: Fawcett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 283 hymnals Topics: Scripture Invitations and Promises First Line: Sinners, the voice of God regard Lyrics: 1 Sinners, the voice of God regard; ’Tis mercy speaks to-day; He calls you by his sovereign word, From sin’s destructive way. 2 Like the rough sea, that cannot rest, You live devoid of peace; A thousand stings within your breast, Deprive your souls of ease. 3 Your way is dark, and leads to hell; Why will you persevere? Can you in frightful torments dwell, Shut up in black despair? 4 Why will you in the crooked ways Of sin and folly go? In pain you travel all your days, To reap immortal woe. 5 But he that turns to God shall live, Thro' his abounding grace; His mercy will the guilt forgive Of those that seek his face. 6 Bow to the sceptre of his word, Renouncing every sin; Submit to him your sovereign Lord, And learn his will divine. 7 His love exceeds your highest thoughts; He pardons like a God; He will forgive your numerous faults, Thro' a Redeemer's blood. Scripture: Isaiah 55:7

Guide me in the way of peace! Make me walk in All the paths of holiness. 5 When I quit this feeble mansion, And my soul returns to thee; Let the power of thy ascension Manifest itself in me: Thro' thy spirit Give the final victory! 6 When the angel sounds the trumpet; When my soul and body join; When my Savior comes to judgment, bright in majesty divine; Let me triumph In thy righteousness as mine. 7 When in that blest habitation, Which my God has fore ordain'd; When in glory's full possession, I with saints and angels stand Free grace only Shall resound thro' Canaan's Land.

Our Duty to God

Noah preserved in the Ark, and the believer in Christ

Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Perseverance First Line: The deluge at the almighty's call Lyrics: 1 The deluge, at th’ almighty’s call, In what impetuous streams it fell! Swallow'd the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close-pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck? how loud the roar: How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echo from the lowering sky! 4 Yet Noah, humble happy saint, Surrounded with the chosen few, Sat in his ark, secure from fear, And sang the grace that steer'd him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall, Conscious how high my hopes are fix'd, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood, which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls. Scripture: 1 Peter 3:20-21

Our ransom he paid! In his merit array'd, We attain to the glory for which we were made. 4 Sweet spirit of grace, Thy mercy we bless For thy eminent share in the council of peace: Great agent divine, To restore us is thine, And cause us afresh in thy likeness to shine. 5 O God, ’tis thy part To convince and convert: To give a new life, and create a new heart: By thy presence and grace We’re upheld in our race, And are kept in thy love to the end of our days. 6 Father, Spirit and Son Agree thus in one, The salvation of those he has mark'd for his own: Let us too agree To glorify thee, Thou ineffable one, thou adorable three?

God ready to forgive; or, Despair sinful

Author: Stogdon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Pardon First Line: What mean these jealousies and fears Lyrics: 1 What mean these jealousies and fears, As if the Lord were loth to save, Or lov'd to see us drench'd in tears, Or sink with sorrow to the grave? 2 Does he want slaves to grace his throne? Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!
