God Calling Yet

Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 420 hymnals Topics: Call and Repentance First Line: God calling yet! shall I not hear? Lyrics: 1 God calling yet!--shall I not hear? Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear? Shall life's swift passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumber lie? 2 God calling yet! shall I not rise? Can I his loving voice despise, And basely His kind care repay? He calls me still: can I delay? 3 God calling yet! and shall He knock And I my heart the closer lock? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? 4 God calling yet--and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake; He calls me still: My heart, awake! 5 Ah, yield him all: in Him confide; Where but with Him doth peace abide? Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven, And let the spirit rise to heaven! 6 God calling yet!--I cannot stay; My heart I yield without delay; Vain world, farewell! from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart!

He gently knocks, has knocked before, Hath waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O 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; No mortal tongue their joys can tell, With whom He condescends to dwell. 4 Yet know, nor of the terms complain, If Jesus comes, He comes to reign,-- To reign, and with no partial sway: Thoughts must be slain that disobey. 5 Sovereign of souls, Thou Prince of Peace, O may Thy gentle reign increase: Throw wide the door, each willing mind; And be His empire all mankind.

There is a Sea of Mercy

Author: C. K. Solberg Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 There is a sea of mercy, Wide as eternity; It gives the vile and guilty Salvation full and free; It is the blood of Jesus, Come, sinner, do not weep, From sin and guilt it cleanses, "Launch out into the deep!" 2 There is a sea of promise, Its waters, deep and wide, Most safely on its bosom You reach the other side. It is the word of Scripture With power to save and keep, So full of sweet assurance, "Launch out into the deep!" 3 There is a sea of service That you must daily brave; In spite of raging tempest, Sail out the lost to save! O Christian, do not linger, Shake off the sense of sleep, Away, away to rescue, "Launch out into the deep!" 4 Tho' doubts shall make you falter, And foes shall make you fear, Tho' disappointments gather And sure defeat seems near. Tho' storms are daily raging With fierce and awful sweep, If Jesus is your pilot, "Launch out into the deep!" Used With Tune: WEBB
