Chorus: I will arise and go to Jesus, He will embrace me in His arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O there are ten thousand charms. 2 Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Ev'ry grace that brings you nigh. [Chorus] 3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all. [Chorus] 4 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth Is to feel your need of Him. [Chorus] Used With Tune: RESTORATION

Jesus of Nazareth Passeth By

Author: Emma Campbell Appears in 200 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: What means this eager, anxious throng Lyrics: 1 What means this eager, anxious throng Which moves with busy haste along, These wondrous gath'rings day by day? What means this strange commotion, pray? In accents hush'd the throng reply; "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." In accents hush'd the throng reply: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 2 Who is this Jesus? Why should he The city move, so mightily? A passing stranger, has he skill To move the multitude at will? Again the stirring notes reply: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." Again the stiring notes reply: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 3 Jesus! 'tis he who once below Man's pathway trod, 'mid pain and woe; And burdened ones where e'er he came, Brought out their sick, and deaf and lame. The blind rejoiced to hear the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." The blind rejoiced to hear the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?" 4 Today, he comes, from place to place His holy footprints we can trace; He pauseth at our threshold, nay, He enters, condescends to stay: Shall we not gladly raise the cry: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?" Shall we not gladly raise the cry "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by?" 5 Ho! all ye heavy laden, come! Here's pardon, comfort, rest, and home; Ye wand'rers from the Father's face, Return, accept his proffered grace. Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." Ye tempted ones, there's refuge nigh: "Jesus of Nazareth passeth by." 6 But if you still this call refuse, And all his wondrous love abuse, At last he'll sadly from you turn, Who now his invitation spurn. "Too late! too late!" will be the cry "Jesus of Nazareth has passed by." "Too late! too late!" will be the cry "Jesus of Nazareth has passed by." Used With Tune: [What means this eager, anxious throng]
