Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Wretched

Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.4.7.7 Appears in 1,483 hymnals Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched, weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, full of pity joined with pow'r: he is able, he is able, he is able, he is willing; doubt no more; he is willing; doubt no more. 2 Come, ye needy, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; true belief and true repentance, ev'ry grace that brings you nigh, without money, without money, without money, come to Jesus Christ and buy; come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, bruised and broken by the fall; if you tarry till you're better, you will never come at all: not the righteous, not the righteous, not the righteous– sinners Jesus came to call; sinners Jesus came to call. 4 Let not conscience make you linger, nor of fitness fondly dream; all the fitness he requireth is to feel your need of him; this he gives you, this he gives you, this he gives you; 'tis the Spirit's rising beam; 'tis the Spirit's rising beam. 5 Lo! th'incarnate God, ascended, pleads the merit of his blood; venture on him, venture wholly, let no other trust intrude: none but Jesus, none but Jesus, none but Jesus can do helpless sinners good, can do helpless sinners good.

Author: Thomas Cotterill; Anon.; William B. Collyer Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! Beneath his cross I view the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet him. Amen.

My Shepherd Will Supply My Need

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 240 hymnals Topics: Danger Lyrics: 1 My shepherd will supply my need, Jehovah is his name; in pastures fresh he makes me feed beside the living stream. He brings my wand'ring spirit back when I forsake his ways and leads me, for his mercy's sake, in paths of truth and grace. 2 When I walk through the shades of death, his presence is my stay; one word of his supporting breath drives all my fears away. His hand, in sight of all my foes, will still my table spread; my cup with blessings overflows; his oil anoints my head. 3 The sure provisions of my God attend me all my days; oh, may his house be my abode and all my work be praise. There would I find a settled rest while others go and come, no more a stranger or a guest, but like a child at home. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: RESIGNATION
