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

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 1,241 hymnals Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast." I came to Jesus as I was Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in him a resting-place, And he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; Look unto me: thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till all my journey's done. Used With Tune: JERUSALEM

There Is a Fountain

Author: William Cowper Appears in 2,543 hymnals Topics: Invitation and Repentance; Invitation and Repentance First Line: There is a fountain fill'd with blood Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plung'd beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains, And sinners plung'd beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see, That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. Wash all my sins away, Wash all my sins away, And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Thou dying Lamb! thy precious blood Shall never lose its pow'r, Till all the ransomed Church of God Are saved to sin no more. Are saved to sin no more, Are saved to sin no more. Till all the ransomed Church of God Are saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Lord, I believe thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought, free reward Eternal life for me. 6 There in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy pow'r to save, When this poor lisping, stam'ring tongue Is ransom'd from the grave.

How can it be Lyrics: 1 And can it be that I should gain An int'rest in the Savior's blood? Died He for me, who caused His pain? For me, who Him to death pursued? Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me? Refrain: Amazing love! how can it be That Thou, my God, should die for me! 2 'Tis mystery all! Th'Immortal dies! Who can explore His strange design? In vain the firstborn seraph tries To sound the depths of love divine! 'Tis mercy all! let earth adore, Let angel minds inquire no more. [Refrain] 3 He left His Father's throne above, So free, so infinite His grace; Emptied Himself of all but love, And bled for Adam's helpless race; 'Tis mercy all, immense and free; For, O my God, it found out me. [Refrain] 4 Long my imprisoned spirit lay Fast bound in sin and nature's night; Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray, I woke, the dungeon flamed with light; My chains fell off, my heart was free; I rose, went forth and followed Thee. [Refrain] 5 No condemnation now I dread; Jesus, and all in Him is mine! Alive in Him, my living Head, And clothed in righteousness divine, Bold I approach th'eternal throne, And claim the crown, through Christ my own. [Refrain] Amen. Sing Joyfully, 1989

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,307 hymnals Topics: Repentance; Repentance First Line: Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high; hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past; safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee; leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring; cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin; let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee; spring thou up within my heart, rise to all eternity. Psalter Hymnal, 1987
