The Spirit in our hearts

Let him that thirsts for righteousness To Christ, the Fountain, come. 3 Yes, whosoever will, O 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 thy hour; O blest Redeemer, come. Used With Tune: GOLDEN HILL

Jesus sinners doth receive!

Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Christ Receives Sinners Lyrics: 1 Jesus sinners doth receive! Let the lost and sorrowing hear it; Though in sin and shame they grieve, And Jehovah's anger merit, Here's what can their woe relieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 2 No such mercy can we claim; But our blessed Lord hath spoken; He hath sworn by His great Name, And His Word cannot be broken. Heaven is open! O believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 3 As the shepherd seeks to find His lost sheep that from him strayeth, So hath Christ each soul in mind, And for its salvation prayeth; Fain He'd have each wanderer live: Jesus sinners doth receive. 4 Come, then, all by guilt oppressed, Jesus calls, and He would make you God's own children, pure and blest, And to glory He would take you; Think on this, and well believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 5 In my grief I now draw near, All my sinfullness confessing; Saviour, my petition hear, Grant me parden and Thy blessing; Help, O help me to believe Jesus sinners doth receive. 6 Cheered at thought of peace with God, Darkness yields to hopeful brightness Through the merit of Thy blood Scarlet sins are turned to whiteness As I say, and now believe, Jesus sinners doth receive! 7 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release, And my every sin remitted. Naught remains my soul to grieve: Jesus sinners doth receive. 8 Jesus sinners doth receive, Me hath taken to His favor, Opened heaven that I may live With my Lord at home for ever; And in death this joy I have: Jesus sinners doth receive.

Come hither, all ye weary souls

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 323 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation 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 Blest is the man whose shoulders take My yoke, and bear it with delight; My yoke is easy to his 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 mold and guide us at thy will.

O, how happy are they

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 712 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 O, how happy are they Who their Saviour obey, And have laid up their treasure above! Tongue can never express The sweet, comfort and peace Of a soul in its earliest love. 2 That sweet comfort is mine, Since the favor divine I received through the blood of the Lamb; Since my heart first believed, What a joy I've received, What a heaven in Jesus' dear name! 3 'Tis a heaven below My Redeemer to know; And the angels can do nothing more Than to fall at his feet, And the story repeat, And the Lover of sinners adore. 4 Jesus all the day long Is my joy and my song; O that all to this refuge might fly! He hath loved me, indeed, He did suffer and bleed, To redeem such a rebel as I. 5 On the wings of his love, I am carried above All my sin, and temptation, and pain; O, that all would believe, And by sin never grieve, And thus cause him to suffer again.

When wounded sore, the stricken soul

Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 104 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand a pierced hand Can heal the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart a broken heart Can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain Over some foul, dark spot, One only stream a stream of blood Can wash away the blot. 4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief; His heart that's touched with all our joys, And feels for all our grief. 5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord! Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin But in thy wounded side. Used With Tune: HOLY CROSS
