Hymn 7
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 481 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 First Line: Let every mortal ear attend Lyrics:
Let every mortal ear attend,
And every heart rejoice;
The trumpet of the gospel sounds
With an inviting voice.
Lo! all ye hungry, starving souls.
That feed upon the wind,
And vainly strive with earthly toys
To fill an empty mind.
Eternal Wisdom has prepared
A soul-reviving feast,
And bids your longing appetites
The rich provision taste.
Ho! ye that pant for living streams,
And pine away and die,
here you may quench your raging thirst
With springs that never dry.
Rivers of love and mercy here
In a rich ocean join;
Salvation in abundance flows,
Like floods of milk and wine.
[Ye perishing and naked poor,
Who work with mighty pain
To weave a garment of your own
That will not hide your sin,
Come naked, and adorn your souls
In robes prepared by God,
Wrought by the labors of his Son,
And dyed in his own blood.]
Dear God! the treasures of thy love
Are everlasting mines,
Deep as our helpless miseries are,
And boundless as our sins.
The happy gates of gospel grace
Stand open night and day;
Lord, we are come to seek supplies,
And drive our wants away.

Frankly the gift of God receive;
Pardon and peace in Jesus find. Topics: Invitation to free salvation

Hymn 9
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 First Line: In vain we lavish out our lives Lyrics:
In vain we lavish out our lives
To gather empty wind;
The choicest blessings earth can yield
Will starve a hungry mind.
Come, and the Lord shall feed our souls
With more substantial meat,
With such as saints in glory love,
With such as angels eat.
Our God will every want supply,
And fill our hearts with peace;
He gives by cov'nant and by oath
The riches of his grace.
Come, and he'll cleanse our spotted souls,
And wash away our stains
In the dear fountain that his Son
Poured from his dying veins.
[Our guilt shall vanish all away,
Though black as hell before;
Our sins shall sink beneath the sea,
And shall be found no more.
And, lest pollution should o'erspread
Our inward powers again,
His Spirit shall bedew our souls,
Like purifying rain.]
Our heart, that flinty, stubborn thing,
That terrors cannot move,
That fears no threat'nings of his wrath,
Shall be dissolved by love.
Or he can take the flint away
That would not be refined;
And from the treasures of his grace
Bestow a softer mind.
There shall his sacred Spirit dwell,
And deep engrave his law,
And every motion of our souls
To swift obedience draw.
Thus will he pour salvation down,
And we shall render praise;
We the dear people of his love,
And he our God of grace.
Hymn 9
I heard the voice of Jesus say
Author: Horatius N. Bonar (1808-1889) Appears in 1,234 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-3 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,
so weary, 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 travelling days are done. Topics: Our Response to Christ In Discipleship; Jesus Names and images for; Light; Rest; Water Used With Tune: THE ROWAN TREE

Isaiah 55: Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55 First Line: Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring Lyrics:
Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring
where living waters flow:
Free to that sacred fountain all
without a price may go.
How long to streams of false delight
will ye in crowds repair?
How long your strength and substance waste
on trifles, light as air?
My stores afford those rich supplies
that health and pleasure give:
Incline your ear, and come to me;
the soul that hears shall live.
With you a cov’nant I will make,
that ever shall endure;
The hope which gladdened David’s heart
my mercy hath made sure.
Behold he comes! your leader comes,
with might and honour crowned;
A witness who shall spread my name
to earth’s remotest bound.
134
See! nations hasten to his call
from ev’ry distant shore;
Isles, yet unknown, shall bow to him,
and Isr’el’s God adore.
Seek ye the Lord while yet his ear
is open to your call;
While offered mercy still is near,
before his footstool fall.
Let sinners quit their evil ways,
their evil thoughts forego:
And God, when they to him return,
returning grace will show.
He pardons with o’erflowing love:
for, hear the voice divine!
My nature is not like to yours,
nor like your ways are mine:
But far as heav’n’s resplendent orbs
beyond earth’s spot extend,
As far my thoughts, as far my ways,
your ways and thoughts transcend.
And as the rains from heav’n distil,
nor thither mount again,
But swell the earth with fruitful juice,
and all its tribes sustain:
So not a word that flows from me
shall ineffectual fall;
But universal nature prove
obedient to my call.
With joy and peace shall then be led
the glad converted lands;
The lofty mountains then shall sing,
the forests clap their hands.
Where briers grew ‘midst barren wilds,
shall firs and myrtles spring;
And nature, through its utmost bounds,
eternal praises sing.

To your great joy may find Him here;
And call upon Him earnestly,
While in his mercy He is near.

Their tho'ts let the unrighteous leave;
And to the LORD let them return;
And mercy on them He will have.
Let them remember He's our God,
So wondrous for benignity;
O let them then return to Him,
And He'll forgive abundantly.

The bride, the Church of Christ, proclaims
To all his children, "Come!"
2 Let him that heareth say
To all about him, "Come!"
Let him that thirsts for righteousness,
To Christ, the fountain, come!
3 Yea, whosoever will,
Oh, let him freely come,
And freely drink the stream of life;
'Tis Jesus bids him come.
4 Lo! Jesus, who invites,
Declares, I "quickly come;"
Lord, even so! we wait thine hour;
O blest Redeemer, come! Topics: Access to God; Christ Fountain Used With Tune: DETROIT

Procrastination
Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 361 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:1 First Line: Delay not, delay not; O sinner, draw near Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not; O sinner, draw near,
The waters of life are now flowing for thee;
No price is demanded; the Saviour is here;
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take his sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sin in the gloom of eternity's night.
3 Delay not, delay not; the hour is at hand;
The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade,
The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand,
What helper, then, sinner, shall lend thee his aid? Topics: Access to God; Advent of Christ To Judgment; Christ Judge; Delay Used With Tune: EXPOSTULATION

Ye wretched, starving poor!
Author: Steele Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 327 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched, starving poor!
Behold a royal feast!
Where mercy spreads her bounteous store
For every humble guest.
2 Jesus, with open arms,
Is calling you to come;
Guilt holds you back, and fear alarms;
But see, there yet is room.
3 Room in the Saviour's heart;
There love and pity meet;
Nor will he bid the soul depart
That trembles at his feet.
4 The Father, reconciled,
Invites your souls to come;
The rebel shall be called a child,
And find in Christ a home. Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Invitations and Promises; The Bountiful Feast
Ye wretched, starving poor!
