Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Spirit of faith, come down, reveal the things of God, and make to us the Godhead known, and witness with the blood. 'Tis thine the blood to apply and give us eyes to see, who did for every sinner die hath surely died for me. 2. No one can truly say that Jesus is the Lord, unless thou take the veil away and breathe the living Word. Then, only then, we feel our interest in his blood, and cry with joy unspeakable, "Thou art my Lord, my God!" 3. O that the world might know the all atoning Lamb! Spirit of faith, descend and show the virtue of his name; the grace which all may find, the saving power, impart, and testify to humankind, and speak in every heart. 4. Inspire the living faith (which whosoe'er receive, the witness in themselves they have and consciously believe), the faith that conquers all, and doth the mountain move, and saves whoe'er on Jesus call, and perfects them in love.

Sinners, The Call Obey

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sinners, the call obey, The latest call of grace; The day is come, the vengeful day, Of a devoted race: Devils and men combine To plague the faithless seed, And vials full of wrath divine Are bursting on your head. 2 Enter into the Rock, Ye trembling slaves of sin, The Rock of your salvation, struck, And cleft to take you in: To shelter the distressed He did the cross endure; O enter in the clefts, and rest In Jesus’ wounds secure. 3 Who would not fear the Lord, Such glorious majesty! His justice stern hath drawn the sword: To His compassion flee; He comes to vengeance take, He comes His wrath to show; He rises terribly to shake The drowsy world below. 4 See how His meteors glare! (The tokens understand) See famine, pestilence and war Hang o’er a guilty land! Signs in the heavens see, And hear the speaking rod; O sinner, judgment points to Thee, Prepare to meet thy God! 5 Terrible God! and true, Thy justice we confess, Thy sorest plagues are all our due, We own our wickedness; Worthy of death and hell, Thee in Thy judgments meet: But lo! we to Thy grace appeal, And crowd Thy mercy seat. 6 Jesus, to Thee we fly From the devouring sword! Our city of defense is high, Our help is in the Lord: Or if the scourge o’erflow, And laugh at innocence, Thine everlasting arms, we know, Shall be our soul’s defense. 7 We in Thy Word believe, And in Thy promise stay: Our life, which still to Thee we give, Shall be us to a prey: Our life with Thee we hide Above the furious blast, And sheltered in Thy wounds abide, Till all the storm is past. 8 Believing against hope, We hang upon Thy grace, Through every lowering cloud look up, And wait for happy days; The days when all shall know Their sins in Christ forgiven, And walk awhile with God below, And then fly up to Heaven.

Come Ye That Seek the Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Come ye that seek the Lord, Him that was crucified, Come listen to the Gospel word, And feel it now applied; To every soul of man The joyful news we show, Jesus for every sinner slain, Is risen again for you. 2. The Lord is risen indeed, And did to us appear, He hath been seen, our living head, By many a Peter here: We, who so oft denied Our master and our God, Have thrust our hand into His side, And felt the streaming blood. 3. Raised from the dead we are The members with their Lord, And boldly in His name declare The soul reviving word; Salvation we proclaim Which every soul may find, Pardon and peace in Jesus’ name, And life for all mankind. 4. O might they all receive The bleeding Prince of Peace! Sinners, the glad report believe, Of Jesus’ witnesses; He lives, who spilt His blood; Believe our record true, The arm, the power, the Son of God Shall be revealed in you.
