Behold a Stranger at the Door
Author: Joesph Grigg Appears in 625 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Call and Repentance First Line: Behold a Stranger at the door! Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door!
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

I Have Promised
Author: John E. Bode Appears in 632 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted First Line: O Jesus, I have promised Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
Be Thou forever near me,
My Master and my Friend;
I shall not fear the battle
If Thou art by my side,
Nor wander from the pathway
If Thou wilt be my Guide.
2 O let me feel Thou near me,
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear;
My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within;
But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.
3 O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee
That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be;
And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend. Used With Tune: ANGEL'S STORY

I Heard the Voice of Jesus
Author: H. Bonar Appears in 1,237 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance Call Accepted First Line: I heard the voice of Jesus say Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast;
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary and worn and sad;
I found in Him a resting place,
And He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live!"
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quench'd, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all Thy day be bright!"
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my Star, my Sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk,
Till all my journey's done.

Deep and Precious
Author: T. V. Oldenburg Meter: 4.4.7.4.4.7.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Call and Repentance Lyrics: 1 Deep and precious,
Strong and gracious
Is the Word of God above,
Gently calling
Sinners falling
To the Savior’s arms of love.
Unto all the word is given:
Jesus is the way to heaven.
2 Precious Savior,
Wondrous favor
Hast Thou shown our fallen race.
Worlds may falter,
Times may alter,
Nothing moves Thy Word of grace.
With Thy Word Thy grace abideth
And for all our needs provideth.
3 By Thy Spirit,
Thro' Thy merit,
Draw all sinners, Lord, to Thee.
Sin and error,
Death and terror
By Thy Word shall banish'd be.
Lead us all thro' life’s straight portal,
Lead us on to life immortal.

If Thou But Knew The Life

In sin and shame, is Satan's tyranny,
Thou wouldest kneel at once, with Jesus pleading,
That He thy soul from bondage might set free.
Oh, how thy Savior would rejoice,
If thou should'st now begin to listen to His voice!
2 If thou but knew the grace so freely given,
Its blessed power and readiness to save,
Thou wouldest not resist the call from heaven,
But cease at once in Satan's chains to slave.
Oh, how thy Savior would rejoice,
If Thou should'st now begin to listen to His voice!
3 If thou but knew the snares of idle dreaming
Of which unwary souls are ever fond,
Thou wouldest seek the light from heaven beaming
That leadeth safely to the goal beyond.
Oh, how thy Savior would rejoice,
If thou should'st now begin to listen to His voice!
4 Oh, wouldest thou but once for all surrender
Thyself to Christ in prayer and grief for sin,
Thou shouldest feel thyself by love most tender
Surrounded and the peace of Jesus win.
Oh, how thy Savior would rejoice,
If Thou should'st now begin to listen to His voice!
5 Oh, wouldest thou, when God to thee is calling,
But seize the hand that can salvation give,
And do it now, before the night is falling
Upon the souls that still in sin do live.
Oh, how thy Savior would rejoice,
If Thou should'st now begin to listen to His voice! Used With Tune: [If thou but knew the life that thou are leading]

God Calling Yet
Author: G. Tersteegen Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 429 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!

Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God His wrath forbear?

Long provoked Him to His face;
Would not hearken to His calls,
Grieved Him by a thousand falls.

Shows His wounds, and spreads His hands;
God is love! I know, I feel;
Jesus weeps, and loves me still.

Yea, all I need, in Thee to find,

Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come.

Has broken every barrier down;
Now to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come. Used With Tune: WOODWORTH
