Author: Rev. Wm. McDonald Appears in 846 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Lyrics: 1 I am coming to the cross, I am poor, and weak, and blind; I am counting all but dross, I shall full salvation find. I am trusting, Lord, in thee, O thou Lamb of Calvary! Humbly at thy cross I bow, Save me, Jesus, save me now. 2 Long my heart has sighed for thee, Long has evil reigned within; Jesus sweetly speaks to me, "I will cleanse you from all sin." I am trusting, Lord, in thee, O thou Lamb of Calvary! Humbly at thy cross I bow, Save me, Jesus, save me now. 3 Here I give my all to thee, Friends and time and earthly store; Soul and body thine to be, Wholly thine forevermore. I am trusting, Lord, in thee, O thou Lamb of Calvary! Humbly at thy cross I bow, Save me, Jesus, save me now. 4 In thy promises I trust, Now I feel the blood applied; I am prostrate in the dust, I with Christ am crucified. I am trusting, Lord, in thee, O thou Lamb of Calvary! Humbly at thy cross I bow, Save me, Jesus, save me now. Scripture: Luke 5:11 Used With Tune: I AM COMING TO THE CROSS

There were ninety and nine that safely lay

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane Appears in 379 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Lyrics: 1 There were ninety and nine that safely lay In the shelter of the fold, But one was out on the hills away, Far, far from the gates of gold; Away on the mountains wild and bare, Away from the tender Shepherd's care, Away from the tender Shepherd's care. 2 "Lord, thou hast here thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for thee?" But the Shepherd made answer: "One of mine Has wandered away from me, And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find my sheep, I go to the desert to find my sheep." 3 But none of the ransomed ever knew How deep were the waters crossed, Nor how dark was the night that the Lord passed through Ere he found his sheep that was lost. Far out in the desert he heard its cry, Fainting and helpless and ready to die. 4 "Lord, whence are there blood-drops all the way That mark out the mountain's track?" "They were shed for one who had gone astray, Ere the Shepherd could bring him back." "Lord, why are thy hands so rent and torn?" "They are pierced to-night by many a thorn." 5 But all through the mountains, thunder-riven, And up from the rocky steep, There rose a cry to the gate of heaven, "Rejoice, I have found my sheep!" And the angels sang around the throne, "Rejoice for the Lord brings back his own!" Scripture: Luke 15:7 Used With Tune: THE NINETY AND NINE
