Come, sinners, to the gospel feast

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 463 hymnals Topics: Procrastination Lyrics: 1 Come, sinners, to the gospel feast, Let every soul be Jesus' guest; Ye need not one be left behind, For God hath bidden all mankind. 2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call, The invitation is to all; Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou; All things in Christ are ready now. 3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest, Ye restless wanderers after rest, Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind, In Christ a hearty welcome find. 4 My message as from God receive; Ye all may come to Christ, and live; O let His love your hearts constrain, Nor suffer Him to die in vain! 5 His love is mighty to compel; His conquering love consent to feel; Yield to His love's resistless power, And fight against your God no more.

Adoration and Submission

Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Procrastination First Line: Now with joyful exultation Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation Let us sing Jehovah's praise; To the Rock of our salvation Loud hosannas let us raise; Thankful tribute gladly bringing, Let us come before Him now, And, with psalms His praises singing, Joyful in His presence bow. 2 For, how great a God, and glorious, Is Jehovah Whom we sing; Over idol-gods victorious, Great is He, our God and King. In His hand are earth's deep places, His the strength of all the hills; His the sea whose bounds He traces, His the land His bounty fills. 3 To the Lord, such might revealing, Let us come with rev'rence meet, And, before our Maker kneeling, Let us worship at His feet. He is our own God who leads us, We the people of His care; With a shepherd's hand He feeds us As His flock in pastures fair. 4 While He proffers peace and pardon Let us hear His voice today, Lest, if we our hearts should harden, We should perish in the way; Lest to us, so unbelieving, He in judgment should declare: Ye, so long my Spirit grieving, Never in My rest can share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE

A fountain is opened, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not; The Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night.

He stands With melting heart and laden hands; Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! This matchless kindness to His foes! 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very Friend you need; The friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed at Calvary, With garments dyed at Calvary. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine; Turn out His enemy and thine, That soul-destroying monster, sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in, And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5 Admit Him, ere His anger burn, His feet departed ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand, You'll at His door rejected stand. Amen. Used With Tune: BACA
