Sinners, Turn: Why Will You Die

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #346 (1989) Topics: Prevenient Grace Invitation Lyrics: Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, your Maker, asks you why. God, who did your being give, made you himself, that you might live; he the fatal cause demands, asks the work of his own hands. Why, you thankless creatures, why will you cross his love, and die? Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, your Savior, asks you why. God, who did your souls retrieve, died himself, that you might live. Will you let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, you ransomed sinners, why will you slight his grace and die? Sinners, turn: why will you die? God, the Spirit, asks you why; he, who all your lives hath strove, wooed you to embrace his love. Will you not his grace receive? Will you still refuse to live? Why, you long-sought sinners, why, will you grieve your God, and die? You, on whom he favors showers, you, possessed of nobler powers, you, of reason’s powers possessed, you, with will and memory blest, you, with finer sense endued, creatures capable of God; noblest of his creatures, why will you forever die? You, whom he ordained to be transcripts of the Trinity, you, whom he in life doth hold, you for whom himself was sold, you, on whom he still doth wait, whom he would again create; made by him, and purchased, why, why will you forever die? You, who own his record true, you, his chosen people, you, you, who call the Savior Lord, you, who read his written Word, you, who see the gospel light, claim a crown in Jesu’s right; why will you, ye Christians, why will the house of Israel die? Turn, he cries, ye sinners turn; by his life your God hath sworn; he would have you turn and live, he would all the world receive; he hath brought to all the race full salvation by his grace; he hath not one soul passed by; why will you resolve to die? Can ye doubt, if God is love, if to all his mercies move? Will ye not his word receive? Will ye not his oath believe? See, the suffering God appears! Jesus weeps! Believe his tears! Mingled with his blood they cry, why will you resolve to die? Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31-32 Languages: English

Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #387 (1989) Topics: Prevenient Grace Repentance Lyrics: Come, O thou Traveler unknown, whom still I hold, but cannot see! My company before is gone, and I am left alone with thee; with thee all night I mean to stay and wrestle till the break of day. I need not tell thee who I am, my misery and sin declare; thyself hast called me by my name, look on thy hands, and read it there. But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. In vain thou strugglest to get free, I never will unloose my hold; art yhou the man that died for me? The secret of thy love unfold; wrestling, I will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. Wilt thou not yet to me reveal thy new, unutterable name? Tell me, I still beseech thee, tell, to know it now resolved I am; wrestling, I will not let thee go, till I thy name, thy nature know. ’Tis all in vain to hold thy tongue or touch the hollow of my thigh; though every sinew be unstrung, out of my arms thou shalt not fly; wrestling I will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. What though my shrinking flesh complain, and murmur to contend so long? I rise superior to my pain: when I am weak then I am strong, and when my all of strength shall fail I shall with the God-man prevail. My strength is gone, my nature dies, I sink beneath thy weighty hand, faint to revive, and fall to rise; I fall, and yet by faith I stand; I stand and will not let thee go till I thy name, thy nature know. Yield to me now -- for I am weak, but confident in self-despair! Speak to my heart, in blessing speak, be conquered by my instant prayer: speak, or thou never hence shalt move, and tell me if thy name is Love. ’Tis Love! ’tis Love! thou diedst for me, I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee, pure, Universal Love thou art; to me, to all, thy mercies move -- thy nature, and thy name is Love. My prayer hath power with God; the grace unspeakable I now receive; through faith I see thee face to face, I see thee face to face, and live! In vain I have not wept and strove-- thy nature, and thy name is Love. I know thee, Savior, who thou art, Jesus, the feeble sinner’s friend; nor wilt thou with the night depart. but stay and love me to the end: thy mercies never shall remove, thy nature, and thy name is Love. The Sun of Righteousness on me hath rose with healing in his wings: withered my nature’s strength; from thee my soul its life and succor brings; my help is all laid up above; thy nature, and thy name is Love. Contented now upon my thigh I halt, till life’s short journey end; all helplessness, all weakness I on thee alone for strength depend; nor have I power from thee to move: thy nature, and thy name is Love. Lame as I am, I take the prey, hell, earth, and sin, with ease overcome; I leap for joy, pursue my way, and as a bounding hart fly home, through all eternity to prove thy nature, and thy name is Love.

He can never be forgotten, throughout heav’n’s eternal days 2 On the mount of crucifixion, fountains opened deep and wide; through the flood-gates of God’s mercy flowed the vast and gracious tide. Grace and love, like mighty rivers, poured incessant from above; heaven's peace and perfect justice kissed a guilty world in love. 3 Let me, all Your love accepting, love You, ever all my days; let me seek Your kingdom only, and my life be to Your praise. You alone will be my glory, nothing in the world I see; You have cleansed and sanctified me, You Yourself have set me free. 4 In Your truth You still direct me by Your Spirit through Your Word; and Your grace my need is meeting, as I trust in You, my Lord.

O this full and precious peace! O this transport all divine! In a love which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine. In a love which cannot cease, I am His and He is mine. 2 Heav'n above is deeper blue; earth around is sweeter green; something lives in ev'ry hue Christless eyes have never seen. Birds with gladder songs o'erflow; flow'rs with deeper beauties shine; Since I know, as now I know, I am His and He is mine. Since I know, as now I know, I am His and He is mine. 3 Taste the goodness of the Lord: welcomed home to His embrace, all His love, as blood outpoured, seals the pardon of His grace. Can I doubt His love for me, when I trace that love's design? By the cross of Calvary I am His and He is mine. I am His and He is mine. 4 His forever, only his! Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart! Heav'n and earth may fade and flee, firstborn light in gloom decline; But while God and I shall be, I am His and He is mine. I am His and He is mine. Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:16 Languages: English Tune Title: EVERLASTING LOVE

Where Shall My Wondering Soul Begin

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #342 (1989) Topics: Prevenient Grace Invitation Lyrics: Where shall my wondering soul begin? How shall I all to heaven aspire? A slave redeemed from death and sin, a brand plucked from eternal fire, how shall I equal triumphs raise, or sing my great deliverer’s praise? O how shall I the goodness tell, Father, which thou to me hast showed? That I, a child of wrath and hell, I should be called a child of God! Should know, should feel my sins forgiven, blest with this antepast of heaven! And shall I slight my Father’s love, or basely fear his gifts to own? Unmindful of his favors prove, shall I, the hallowed cross to shun, refuse his righteousness to impart, by hiding it within my heart? Outcasts of men, to you I call, harlots, and publicans, and thieves; he spreads his arms to embrace you all, sinners alone his grace receive. No need of Him the righteous have; he came the lost to seek and save. Come, O my guilty brethren, come, groaning beneath your load of sin; his bleeding heart shall make you room, his open side shall take you in. He calls you now, invites you home: Come, O my guilty brethren, come. For you the purple current flowed in pardon from his wounded side, languished for you the eternal God, for you the Prince of Glory died. Believe, and all your sin’s forgiven, only believe--and yours is heaven. Languages: English
