Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 319 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Now is th’accepted time, Now is the day of grace Now, sinners, come without delay, And seek the Saviour’s face. 2 Now is th’accepted time, The Saviour calls to-day; To-morrow, it may be too late; Then why should you delay? 3 Now is th’accepted time, The Gospel bids you come; And every promise in His word, Declares there yet is room. 4 Lord, draw reluctant souls, And feast them with Thy love; Then will the angels swiftly fly To bear the news above.

We're traveling home to heaven above

Appears in 253 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 We’re traveling home to heaven above, Will you go? To sing the Saviour’s dying love; Will you go? Millions have reached that blest abode, Anointed kings and priests to God, And millions now are on the road, Will you go? 2 We're going to see the bleeding Lamb, Will you go? In rapturous strains to praise His name; Will you go? The crown of life we there shall wear, The conqueror's palms our hands shall bear, And all the joys of heaven we'll share, Will you go? 3 We're going to join the heavenly choir, Will you go? To raise our voice and tune the lyre; Will you go? There saints and angels gladly sing Hosanna to their God and King, And make the heavenly arches ring, Will you go? 4 Ye weary, heavy-laden, come, Will you go? In the blest house there still is room; Will you go? The Lord is waiting to receive; If thou wilt on Him now believe, He’ll give thy troubled conscience ease, Come believe. 5 The way to heaven is straight and plain, Will you go? Repent, believe, be born again; Will you go? The Saviour cries aloud to thee, "Take up thy cross and follow Me, And thou shalt My salvation see, Come to Me." 6 Oh could I hear some sinner say, I will go! I will go! I'll start this moment, on the way; Let me go! let me go! My old companions, fare you well, I will not go with you to hell, I mean with Jesus Christ to dwell, I will go! I will go!

Hearts of stone, relent, relent

Appears in 218 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Hearts of stone, relent, relent, Break, by Jesus cross subdued; See His body, mangled, rent, Covered with a gore of blood; Sinful soul, what hast thou done? Crucified God's only Son. 2 Yes, thy sins have done the deed, Driven the nails that fixed Him there; Crowned with thorns His sacred head, Plunged into His side the spear; Made His soul a sacrifice, While for a sinful man He dies. 3 Wilt thou let Him bleed in vain? Still to death thy Lord pursue? Open all His wounds again, And the shameful cross renew? No! with all my sins I'll part: Break, oh break, my bleeding heart!

Eternity! terrific word

Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Awakened Lyrics: 1 Eternity! terrific word, Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity, unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending: Deep horrors fill my quaking heart, My lips in speech refuse to part. 2 Eternity! oh what a pang! Eternity! no serpent's fang Could send that thrill of terror. When I revolve thy clanking chains, Thy dark abyss of deathless pains, My soul is filled with horror. Oh search the universe around, No equal terror can be found! 3 Awake, oh man, from sinful sleep; Bethink thyself, thou straying sheep; Seek God by true repentance! Awake, behold thy wasting sand, Eternity is just at hand And brings thine awful sentence. This is, perchance, thy final day: Who knows when he'll be snatched away? 4 Eternity! terrific word, Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity! unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending: Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee, Grant me Thy blest eternity!

Oh that my load of sin were gone!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent Lyrics: 1 Oh that my load of sin were gone! Oh that I could at last submit, At Jesus’ feet to lay it down-- To lay my soul at Jesus’ feet! 2 Rest for my soul I long to find: Savior of all, if mine Thou art, Give me Thy meek and lowly mind, And stamp Thine image on my heart. 3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin, And fully set my spirit free: I cannot rest, till pure within-- Till I am wholly lost in Thee. 4 Fain I would learn of Thee, my God! Thy light and easy burden prove,-- The cross all stained with hallowed blood, The labor of Thy dying love. 5 I would--but Thou must give the power; My heart from every sin release: Bring near, bring near the joyful hour, And fill me with Thy perfect peace! 6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer, Nor let Thy chariot wheels delay; Appear in my poor heart, appear; My God, my Saviour, come away

Come, said Jesus' sacred voice

Appears in 509 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Come, said Jesus' sacred voice, Come, and make My paths your choice; I will guide you to your home! Weary pilgrim, hither come! 2 Thou who, houseless, sole, forlorn, Long hast borne the proud world's scorn, Long hast roamed the barren waste, Weary pilgrim, hither haste! 3 Ye who, tossed on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain; Ye, whose swollen and sleepless eyes Watch to see the morning rise; 4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, Guilt, in strong remorse, who mourn, Here repose your heavy care: Conscience wounded, who can bear? 5 Sinner, come! for here is found Bal that flows for every wound; Peace that ever shall endure; Rest eternal, sacred, sure. 5 "Hither come, for here is found Balm that flows for every wound, Peace that ever shall endure, Rest eternal, sacred, sure."

Seek, my soul, the narrow gate

Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Seek, my soul, the narrow gate, Enter ere it be too late; Many ask to enter there When too late to offer prayer. 2 God from mercy's seat shall rise, And for ever bar the skies: Then though sinners cry without, He will say, "I know you not." 3 Mournfully will they exclaim; "Lord, we have professed Thy Name; We have ate with Thee, and heard Heavenly teaching in Thy word." 4 Vain, alas! will be their plea, Workers of iniquity; Sad their everlasting lot; Christ will say, "I know you not."

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Awakened Lyrics: 1 Waked by the trumpet's sound, I from my grave shall rise, And see the Judge with glory crowned, And see the flaming skies! 2 Who can resolve the doubt That tears my anxious breast? Shall I be with the lost cast out, Or numbered with the blest? 3 Oh Thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die! Who diedst Thyself, my soul to save From endless misery!-- 4 Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe! That when Thou comest on Thy throne, I may with joy appear!

The Accepted Time

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 369 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated First Line: While life prolongs its precious light Lyrics: 1 While life prolongs its precious light, Mercy is found, and peace is given; But soon, ah, soon, approaching night Shall blot out every hope of heaven. 2 While God invites, how blest the day! How sweet the gospel’s charming sound! "Come sinners, haste, oh haste away, While yet a pardoning God is found. 3 "Soon, borne on time’s most rapid wing Shall death command you to the grave, Before His bar your spirits bring, And none be found to hear or save. 4 And in that land of deep despair, No Sabbath’s heavenly light shall rise,-- No God regard your bitter prayer, No Saviour call you to the skies." 5 No wonders to the dead are shown, (The wonders of redeeming love;) No voice His glorious truth makes known, Nor sings the bliss of climes above. 6 Silence, and solitude, and gloom In those forgetful realms appear; Deep sorrows fill the dismal tomb, And hope shall never enter there.

When the harvest is past, and the summer is gone

Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 When the harvest is past, and the summer is gone, And sermons and prayers shall be o'er, When the beams cease to break of the blest Sabbath morn, And Jesus invites thee no more; 2 When the rich gales of mercy no longer shall blow, The gospel no message declare,-- Sinner, how canst thou bear the deep wailing of woe? How suffer the night of despair? 3 When the holy have gone to the regions of peace, To dwell in the mansions above; When their harmony wakes, in the fullness of bliss, Their song to the Saviour of love,-- 4 Say, oh sinner, that livest at rest and secure, Who fearest no trouble to come, Can thy spirit the swellings of sorrow endure, Or bear the impenitent's doom?
