Come, ye souls by sin afflicted

Author: Joseph Swain Appears in 49 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Come, ye souls by sin afflicted, Bowed with fruitless sorrow down, By the perfect law convicted, Through the cross behold the crown; Look to Jesus; Mercy flows through him alone, 2 Take his easy yoke and wear it; Love will make obedience sweet; Christ will give you strength to bear it, While his wisdom guides your feet Safe to glory, Where his ransomed captives meet. 3 Sweet as home to pilgrims weary, Light to newly opened eyes, Or full springs in deserts dreary, Is the rest the cross supplies; All who taste it Shall to rest immortal rise.

Broad is the road that leads to death

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 463 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Lyrics: 1 Broad is the road that leads to death, And thousands walk together there; But wisdom shows a narrow path, With here and there a traveler. 2 Deny thyself, and take thy cross, Is thy Redeemer's great command; Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain that heavenly land. 3 The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And make his own destruction sure. 4 Lord, let not all my hopes be vain, Create my heart entirely new; Let thy sweet Spirit me sustain, O guide me all life's journey through. Used With Tune: WINDHAM

Shall palms adorn the guilty hand Which does its neighbor wrong? 3 Can sin's deceitful way Conduct to Zion's hill? Or those expect with God to reign Who disregard his will? 4 Thy grace, O God, alone, Good hopes can e'er afford: The pardoned and the pure shall see The glory of the Lord. Used With Tune: OLMUTZ

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,307 hymnals Topics: Sin / Sinner Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high: hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past, safe into the haven guide; oh receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed; all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenceless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find: raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness: false and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within: thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Scripture: Psalm 17:8 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
