Nor shall you thirst in vain. 4 Ye sinners! come, ’tis mercy’s voice; The gracious call obey: Mercy invites to heavenly joys, And can you yet delay? 5 Dear Saviour, draw reluctant hearts; To Thee let sinners fly, And take the bliss Thy Love imparts, And drink and never die.

Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 149 hymnals Topics: The Order of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 Weary of wandering from my God, And now made willing to return, I hear, and bow me to the rod; For Thee, not without hope, I mourn: I have an Advocate above, A Friend before the throne of Love. 2 O Jesus, full of truth and grace, More full of grace than I of sin; Yet once again I seek Thy face, Open Thine arms and take me in; And freely my backslidings heal, And love the faithless sinner still. 3 Thou know'st the way to bring me back, My fallen spirit to restore; O, for Thy truth and mercy's sake, Forgive, and bid me sin no more: The ruins of my soul repair, And make my heart a house of prayer.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Appears in 3,008 hymnals Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee! Let the Water and the Blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me, Lord, and make me pure. 2 Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy Law's demands: Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears for ever flow, All for sin could not atone: Thou must save and Thou alone! 3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy Cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the Fountain fly; Wash me, Saviour, or I die! 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee!

Not all the boasted joys of earth Could such delight afford. 2 Pardon and peace to dying men, And endless life are given; And the rich Blood that Jesus shed To raise the soul to heaven. 3 Ye hungry poor, who long have strayed In sin’s dark mazes, come; Come from the hedges and highways, And Grace shall find you room. 4 Thousands of souls, in glory now, Were fed and feasted here; And thousands more, still on the way, Around the board appear. 5 Yet are His house and heart so large, That thousands more may come; Nor could the wide assembled world O’erfill the spacious room. 6 All things are ready: enter in, Nor weak excuses frame. Come, take your places at the feast, And bless the Founder’s Name. Used With Tune: NUN DANKET ALL' U. BRINGET EHR

God of mercy! God of grace!

Author: John Taylor Appears in 189 hymnals Topics: The Order of Salvation Repentance Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace! Hear our sad repentant songs. O restore Thy suppliant race, Thou to whom our praise belongs! 2 Deep regret for follies past, Talents wasted, time misspent; Hearts debased by worldly cares, Thankless for the blessings lent: 3 Foolish fears and fond desires, Vain regrets for things as vain: Lips too seldom taught to praise. Oft to murmur and complain; 4 These, and every secret fault, Filled with grief and shame, we own. Humbled at Thy feet we lie, Seeking pardon from Thy throne. Used With Tune: AUS DER TIEFEN RUFE ICH
